Hysterectomy with out insurance?

HEAVY periods run in my family. My two older sisters have had hysterectomies due to them.. I have no insurance, so I can't afford to get one:(.. My doc. put my on Sprintec 28 bc pills, to see if that will help.. I have heard that a person can apply for some kind of grant to get the hysterectomy done for free or a lesser amount, and I'm wondering if that is true, incase the pills don't work..

I'm sure there are much less invasive and effective remedies against heavy periods than a hysterectomy which is a major operation with serious side-effects.
Before you make a decision like that I'd advise you to check this link: http://hysterectomyinformation.blogspot....
It's not to patronise or anything, but I find it necessary information to share with you.

A quote from herbalist Susun Weed in response to a woman's heavy bleeding:

"The most effective blood-stopping herbs that I know of are:
Shepherd's purse (tincture of the fresh plant): midwives swear it stops uterine hemorrhage in seconds. I used it to stop a thirty day bleed during my menopause. (Took about 12 hours to do it.) Many women have told me it has saved their lives (and their uterus). A dose is a dropperful, repeated every two hours

Witch hazel tincture of the bark (not the stuff you buy in the drugstore, though that is good for external uses). A dropperful is a dose. It is also taken every two hours. Witch hazel is a more effective hemostatic, but does not have a special action on the uterus like shepherd's purse.

Lady's mantle tincture or tea of the fresh or dried leaves is the supreme uterine tonic, used throughout Europe to help women with profuse bleeding. It is much slower acting than shepherd's purse or witch hazel, but elps to insure that the bleeding does not return. It may be used on a daily basis for many months and combined with one of the above herbs."

Maybe it will help for you as well?
