When medication and other treatments cannot relieve your symptoms, hysterectomy is often recommended. It can provide a more effective, definitive and long-term solution for conditions like excessive menstrual bleeding. If you are considering or your doctor at Women's Healthcare of Illinois has recommended a hysterectomy, you are not alone. One in three women in the United States will have a hysterectomy before turning 60.
