Hello, I have endometriosis and excess bleeding with it. I can tell you what worked for me. Because of this I am anemic, so I take iron so you might need that if you aren't taking it...get tested. I found out that iron can deplete the vitamin A in your body. I also found out that there was a study done on women with excess bleeding and female problems and that they gave the women Vitamin A. They found out that they had to use PURE forms of vitamin A and NOT betacarotene which is LABELED as vitamin A in most supplements. Unfortunately, most people don't CONVERT the betacarotene to Vitamin A in your body, therefore, they have to take forms such as cod liver oil...I take the Twinlab's Brand which I found to be superior to other brands that I had tried. The serving size is much smaller on this brand compared to others. For example for Twinlab's you get the same amount or more EPA VERSUS DHA in this brand for 1 teaspoon full as opposed to 1 Tablespoon full iin others... The suggested serving size in the study was 10,000 IU's for 3 months time...then half of that for maintenance... I take 1 Tablespoon a day with is about 12,000 IU'S....

You can find this at your local Health Food store.... I think the Twinlab brand had about 4000 IU...for that teaspoon serving size!

Please try this because you even consider a hysterectomy. For those considering hysterectomies, please check out the HERS FOUNDATION and read up on hysterectomies and the fact that most are done unnecessarily and can quickly throw the person into menopause which is ANOTHER nightmare in itself! Also THYROID DISORDERS are also linked to many FEMALE problems so please take a look at the link in my signature!

Best Wishes....
