I need some female advice/help. And or anyone in the medical field.
I will be 50 in Jan. Perimenopausal since 2016. I have a hemoglobin of 7.8. Iron is 12. It was 8.4 3 weeks ago. I have severe bleeding- sometimes lasting 30-40 days.
I met with a gynecological surgeon yesterday. I do not want a hysterectomy nor am I a candidate
I had open heart surgery in 2016 for an aortic aneurysm and currently have an aortic root aneurysm that measures 4.65. The surgeon told me yesterday that if I were to need a second emergency open heart surgery that with my anemia this bad that I would not be able to handle surgery and would die. Her biggest concern is getting my iron up. And bleeding to stop.
They want me to do iron infusions and get an IUD
I have horrible reactions to most "drugs" and take nothing. Not an ibuprofen. Not even natural etc. I'm afraid to try beef liver pills.
I dont do chemicals, no deodorant, only natural shampoos cleaners etc
I am terrified to get an IUD
I need help

Menopause doesn't exist in Japanese women because they have adequate amounts of iodine through their diet (seaweed). Clive de Carle talks about this alot. I take 5 drops of Lugol's iodine every day and am menopause symptom free (aged 50) apart from the 3-week-long periods. Clive de Carle has his own channel on Odysee but in this clip he talks about iodine for menopause: https://odysee.com/@adrianr:8/soundbite-ep_247_4-clive-de-carle-iodine:6 Hope that helps
