NH Dave, that treatment looks good in theory but sometimes doesn't work out so well in practice. My best friend (age 50, same as me) had it done 18 months ago and is now right back at square one, with heavy bleeding almost fifty percent of the time -- and that after enduring an exquisitely unpleasant surgical experience with a Stalinesque doctor who left her feeling like crap in more ways than one. She's now awaiting a hysterectomy, and gnashing her teeth at the wasted months of discomfort.
