I've been having heavy bleeding every 20 days with 2 days of spotting and 7 days of continuous bleeding, along with pain near the vagina. My sonography showed an endometrium thickness of 1.8 cm, an endometrium polyp of 1.2x1.0 cm, and uterus measurements of 8.0x5.7x4.7 cm. The doctor suggested removing my uterus is that really necessary? Can this be treated without surgery, and what are the other options? If surgery is the only way, what are the newer techniques available, their costs, and which one has minimal side effects?

cost depends on dr and hospital.
