IT would help to lose weight ( for all of us that are carrying too much , me included ) as reduces risk of things like womb cancer as well,as the usual stuff like CVD and diabetes. A hysterscope and biopsy are the usual first steps in investigating heavy bleeding - I was found to have stage 1 womb cancer during hysterectomy for ovarian tumour and oncologist said that hysterectomy was enough treatment for it. I know they git mirena for bleeding problems but I've heard good and not so good reports on it so I'd say see what the biopsy shows first.
