My wife had your exact symptoms several years ago and her gynocologist put her on birth control pills and the problems with her periods went away. However, a few months later she was diagnosed with fibroid tumors. The next recommendation from her doctor was to have a hysterectomy. At that point I found a copy of the book "Natural Hormone Replacement for Women over 45". It took several months but her fibroids diminished and after about 7-8 months they disappeared and her hormonal balance returned by using the protocols recommended in the book. You will need to find a good compounding pharmacist and have some tests to provide a baseline for your hormone levels. Her gynecologist became very upset with her and recommended she find another doctor. My wife told him she had already reached that decision. Natural medicine takes a bit longer to balance the body but the long term effects are much more positive. She was 47 years of age when this started. There is a big difference between "treating" and "healing".
