Every year, hundreds of thousands of women just like you make the critical decision to undergo a hysterectomy. This procedure will take them through a wide range of emotions--from dread and dismay to freedom and joy. With humor and honesty, former hysterectomy patient Nancy Rosenfeld and psychotherapist Dianna Bolen candidly answer the questions every woman wants to ask, including: - Will I go immediately into menopause? - How will it affect my sex life? - What are the risks of taking estrogen? - Will I look and feel older? - How long does it take to recover? If you or someone you love is a candidate for hysterectomy--or have already had one--this positive, reassuring guide will provide a deeper understanding of the experience. You'll learn, as the authors have, that hysterectomy is not an end, but rather a passage to a new beginning. "This book answered the questions I was afraid to ask.

“An excellent reference not only for patients but also for nurses, medical assistants, and clerical staff who work in a busy gynecologist’s office.” —Wanda Ronner, MD, Pennsylvania Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania Health System Hysterectomy is the second most common major surgical procedure performed on women in the United States. 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. Yet many disorders of the uterus—fibroid tumors, uterine and cervical cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and uterine prolapse—may require surgical treatment. In this thoroughly updated edition of Hysterectomy: Exploring Your Options, gynecologists Edward E. Wallach, Esther Eisenberg, Isabel Green, and Stacey A. Scheib describe and explain every aspect of the procedure, including: Symptoms of gynecological disorders that may require uterine fibroid removal or hysterectomy The full range of diagnostic and therapeutic imaging techniques, including MRI-focused ultrasound Thorough explanations of specific alternative measures that may be used to avoid the need for hysterectomy The various techniques for hysterectomy, including single-incision surgery and robotic hysterectomy How to prepare for surgery and what to expect while in the hospital Details on the surgery and postoperative recovery, including information about pain medications, when to resume daily activities, how sexual function may be affected, future reproductive possibilities, and the benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy Included in this compassionate, comprehensive guide to treatment and recovery for women having—or deciding whether to have—a hysterectomy are stories of women whose own experiences with hysterectomy offer useful advice for anyone considering the procedure. “A valuable reference.” —The New York Times

Even before she had her hysterectomy, Sue Barber realized the surgery was a derision that anguished not only herself but more than 600,000 American women who every year consent to the life-changing operation.

As a result of her personal experience and her sharp inquiries, Sue Barber has produced a handbook of hysterectomy for women. "A frank, detailed and very informative book that should be 'must' reading for any woman confronted with this agonizing problem". -- Michael Korda, Editor-in-Chief, Simon & Schuster
