The girl does not need the uterus for any reason whatsoever. Having her to endure completely unecessary monthly pain and mess is ridiculous. Giving her drugs to control the bleeding seems more harmful and less civilzed. Where’s the common sense?! The girl does not need the uterus for any reason whatsoever.

But painful and heavy menstruation can be a problem. And often in CP girls, just opening their legs to clean them is a problem... There are alternatives: birth control pills, or Depo Provera to turn off the cycles. But both can cause emotional outburst and the pill can increase blood clots, a problem with immobile people. And "endometrial ablation" is another way: cauterize the uterine lining to lessen the amount of bleeding. You still get the PMS but not as much pain or bleeding. As for hysterectomy, if it could be done laporoscopic vaginal hysterectomy, I'd say it was a good alternative. Believe me, I went through 30 years of cyclic pain...including surgery, homones, birth control pills, fertility pills, pain killers, and finally a hysterectomy when I was 45. Hysterectomy for a girl who's not trying to get pregnant is an alternative... Because of the eugenics sterilizations in the past (i.e. Buck vs Bell) it is almost impossible to sterilize such girls.
