....or at least someone who has actual experience with a similar condition. My mom, who is 79, went to the doctor for vaginal bleeding about 3 months ago. They performed an ultrasound and, then, a D&C. No cancer or even pre-cancer was found in the lab work. However, now she has started having the bleeding again. The doctor had told her that if she started bleeding again, she would probably need a hysterectomy. Why would this be if there is no cancer? What are other things that could be wrong? Should she get a second opinion? A hysterectomy sounds awfully invasive and risky for a woman her age, especially when there were no cancerous cells found. Any help would be appreciated.
