Women probably go through it once a month if you know what i mean??!!!!I had an operation to stop my monthly cycles and it saved my life, now i just have to get through menopause, which isn't so bad now. I hope i don't embarrass anyone but i would advise ANY woman to stop their cycles if they are as bad as mine were, hemmoragging, cramps, mental capacity problems. I think it was called a thermal oblation operation. Goo Luck and have a nice night!!!
