A very rough estimate would be four or five pads, assuming that you're getting at least the recommended 7 hours of sleep at night.

My mom has been having heavy bleeding and the doctors said her uterus wall is thickening based on scans. They recommended surgery since this happened before 18 months ago too but now the wall is thicker. Her blood levels dropped from the bleeding and they quoted around 50k for the procedure scheduled this Saturday. Is surgery the best option given her history and current condition?

It's understandable to be concerned about your mom's health. The thickening of the uterine lining (endometrial hyperplasia) and the subsequent heavy bleeding, especially with the blood level drop, are serious issues. Surgery might be a reasonable option, especially if the previous episode occurred 18 months ago and the condition has worsened

Just got another USG report and it's attached here. Could you take a look and let me know if surgery is really necessary or if there are other treatment options we could try? Really unsure about the next steps here.
