I m curious whether doctors will perform hysterectomies or similar procedures electively. I m looking into future sterilization options that would also end my period permanently. I m on medroxyprogesterone (I think) for nonstop vaginal bleeding, which has stopped my period entirely for over a year now. I love it, but I ll have to buy it repeatedly throughout my life (until menopause), which makes me wonder if there is a long-term cost-effective option for someone who is surgery-adverse; one time to end both problems for good and not have to worry.
