Brief Answer: Need more details Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for writing to us with your health concern. I have gone through the ultrasound scan report. I guess it was done abdominally ? If yes, please get a transvaginal ultrasound scan done. Also, please provide the other clinical details that I asked you for in the earlier answer I gave. At your age, straight out hysterectomy is not recommended. There are various other medical avenues of management. I would like to know some details before I advice. What are your symptoms - do you have troublesome bleeding, pain etc. How long and in what dosage the hormone therapy has been tried - and what preparations have you used so far ? How any children do you have ? Please write in with more details. Looking forward to hearing from you. Take care.

Brief Answer: Hysterectomy should be the last option Detailed Answer: At 29, you are too young to have a hysterectomy if other options work. Firstly, cyclical progesterone therapy should be tried - monthly 10 days of progesterone from day 15 - day 25. Failing that, you can go for progesterone containing IUD - Mirena - which will mostly work for controlling your bleeding. Please get a pelvic ultrasound scan done. Also blood levels of FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin. Hysterectomy should be the last option if these measures fail.
