Hysterectomy questions?

My mom is 46 years old and every month when it is time for her period she bleeds very, very heavy. She has to wake up every hour bc literally there will be blood all over her bed. She also bleeds heavy clots. She has been expeirencing menopause syptoms for the 2 years and I am getting worried about her bc I really think she needs a hyterectomy, she has said herself she needs one but she keeps putting it off. Has anyone been thru this or had one? Can you tell me about how long you were in the hospital and how long your recovery time was? Does it sound like she needs one? I'm sorry I know this alot of questions ~ I'm just really worried about my mom.
