BC was the only thing that helped my wife’s horrendous periods. They were literally debilitating. She could not work for 3-4 days while on her period until she was prescribed the pill 20 years ago.

Yes, hormones are often prescribed that way. It is not really natural for a female human to have periods every month year after year. Normally she would be pregnant or nursing for much of her life.

She may have been (and could be) suffering from fibroids. A simple ultrasound will show if this is the case.

A hysterectomy would’ve had much less risk especailly if she’sbeen on the pll for the past 20 years.Many doctors recommend that women with her problems have as many kids as they want as quick as they can and then have the surgery.

Great.

She did a cost benefit abalysis. She chose to accept the health risk (cancer) posed by the therapy ( the pill) because the therapy alleviated a serious health problem (debilitating menstrual periods).

But a healthy reproductive system is never a health problem. And pregnancy is not a disease or a health risk. Yet doctors continue to shove pills at women without telling them about this serious health risk (does anyone not doubt the serious breast cancer epidemic? those pink ribbons are on everything for a reason). And women keep whoring around offering sex without consequences to men who demand it.
