That sounds horrifying. How long would it take to just bleed to death slowly when my period just doesn't stop?

A salpingectomy is just removing fallopian tubes. It’s a safe and relatively easy outpatient procedure.

Ablation is where they burn off the lining of your uterus, this is done to stop or eliminate menstrual bleeding. The trouble with ablation is that you really shouldn't get pregnant after, and if you do it relatively young, your uterine lining could grow back and the problem you got ablation for would return - and typically medical professionals don't want to do ablation more than once.

There are medication to treat excessive bleeds I usually give my partients  tranexamic acid to hold on to for their periods if no contraindications. Ask your doctor.
