The first thing that needs to be done is to insure that the bleeding is indeed coming from the cervix. You should have and endovaginal ultrasound with fluid and or a hysteroscopy to insure that the bleeding originates in the cervix. If all the blleding is from the cervix and directed biopsies are negative then a cervical cryo( freezing can be done which solve your problem

Hysterectomy is not s msndstedf procedure for this condition. Yes there is an increased risk of endometrial cancer but I would suggest a thorough curettage and if the tissue is not atypical I would use megace for three months and then repeat the evaluation. I have treated many  women for this condition in this manner and have never been sorry.
