Did your provider explain to you why he/she was giving you the medication ?

I would think that would be an important question to ask. Fibroids can cause excessive bleeding. When you quit having periods, perhaps the bleeding would stop, and a hysterectomy might not be indicated. There are also other options that I am sure some of our gyns could comment about. I personally avoid surgery, unless there are no other options that present themselves. These days there are other options besides surgery.
