Hysterectomy is the second most common major surgical procedure
performed on women in the United States. Because of new nonsurgical
treatments and the rising opposition to the procedure from women's
and patients' groups, hysterectomies are performed less frequently
than in the past, but many disorders of the uterus -- fibroid
tumors, uterine and cervical cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease,
endometriosis, adenomyosis, and uterine prolapse -- still may
require surgical treatment. For some women, the decision to have a
hysterectomy is an easy one; for others, it is a difficult choice
associated with concerns about risks, discomfort, and female
identity.
In Hysterectomy: Exploring Your Options, experienced
gynecologists Edward Wallach and Esther Eisenberg provide complete
and up-to-date information about every aspect of the procedure.
Written with compassion for all women, this indispensable guide
explains the anatomy of the uterus, describes the symptoms of
gynecological disorders that may require hysterectomy, discusses
the full range of diagnostic tests and treatments, provides details
of the surgery itself and postoperative recovery, includes details
about other approaches to treatment, and examines long-term
consequences involving sexual and reproductive issues as well as
hormone replacement therapy. Also included is useful advice about
how to talk with your doctor and case studies illustrating the
real-life experiences of a variety of women.
In Hysterectomy: Exploring Your Options, women will find the
information they need to work with their physicians to make
informed decisions about their health care.
