Heavy Prolonged Period Help!?

My mom who is 44 has a heavy prolonged period and she hasn't stopped bleeding for the past two months. She has this doctor in Mexico where she goes to see every year to check her health, we went to Mexico in Dec.-Jan. 2008-09, and she got checked because that's when she started bleeding a lot. So, the doctor gave her some pills to make her bleeding stop, because she thought that she was going through menopause. It's been two months now and she hasn't stopped bleeding! She called her doctor this morning, and she said that she was going to give her more pills with higher potency, and see if it works, and she said that if that didn't work either she was going to get her uterus removed in Mexico because she doesn't have insurance here, and it's cheaper over there. Is there any help for my mom, and recommended pills, has this happend to anyone? Please help!
