Question

My mother has been dealing with recurring bleeding for the past 5 years, and it keeps happening every year. Each time, medications like Pause MF or Sevista stop the bleeding, but now the doctor prescribed Pause MF and Deviry 10mg. The doctor is suggesting open surgery to remove her uterus instead of laparoscopy. I've attached the reports what would you recommend in this situation? Is open surgery the only option or could laparoscopy still be considered?

I've noticed that some of the gel seems to come out of her vagina, and I'm worried that this might also make sperm come out as well. Is there a way to control the amount of gel being used, or is this normal?
