Until fairly recently, that "problem" and childbirth were the main  
cause of death among women. More women outside of US and Europe still  
die from childbearing and it's accompanying plumbing problems than  
from any other cause.

On the other hand, I went into menopause abruptly five years ago on  
the death of my husband. Things had been a bit irregular (unlike for  
most of my life when it was all clockwork) so I suppose I was getting  
to that time anyway, but from the day he died I never had another  
period.  To be honest, I rather missed it. I always felt that it was  
sort of a biological rinse cycle and never was particularly  
inconvenienced.  Don't know if someday I might still need a  
hysterectomy for another reason though.
