I don't know what her health problem is. If it is a miscarriage, then she might need a procedure to finish it. If it is fibroid tumors that are benign (very common in women and they cause heavy periods) it is not by any means emergency surgery. There are many approaches besides hysterectomy. In fact, hysterectomies are hardly done anymore because of the other less intrusive options. She might need a second opinion. And since heavy bleeding ends with menopause, in many cases women just put up with the heavy bleeding until they reach menopause.
