Braveheart226 - How fortunate you are, but so true with what the recent Anon. posted here. One stating there are other alternatives to save a female's vital organs, and the last one posting who has had so many aftermath of physical problems 'Post.-Hyst'. I am among the misfortunate ones as she who has been so physically devastated after my Hyst.. The point being is this: Why should women be subjected to the chance of having this unnecessary surgery done when there are so many alternatives to save such a vital organ(s) and mutilation to our bodies? I deal with such awful aftermath of physical problems daily after my Hyst., and one problem also is my sexual drive. My husband can attest to the fact that we had it great before my Hyst., and you are so lucky yours has not diminished. But why take the chance on this, alone, when there is 'No Going Back'? The other factor is: there are millions of women as myself who have their lives changed so dramatically by this unnecessary surgery; it must be a matter of laws put into effect so any female does not wind up with such horrific physical problems like the last Anon. posted here, and I do not need to list mine; as already listed here. Would want their female daughter subjected to this? I should say not. So, what is the problem with eliminating the chance of this happening to any loved one, friend, and even just another female - period? It baffles my mind that any woman would be against legislative change to put into law that every female view the Hers Foundation video before making a decision to have a Hysterectomy. Remember - there is no going back. The probability of these lifelong physical changes are not worth risking - not with so many alternatives out there. As for me, with having two small fibroids; I could have even done nothing, but let 'Nature' take its course, and they eventually would have 'shriveled' up; so to speak. My GYN who mutilated me did not tell me this; along with providing me with effective alternatives. Again, if it was your daughter; wouldn't you want her to be as 'Informed' as possible? I have yet to hear anyone argue this point. If one does; one is either so one sided, a doctor hiding here, truly does not care, or does not have a daughter. Someone has to tell me when it is good to be 'Less Informed' than 'More Informed'. The Hers video MUST BE seen by all females before making a decision on this very 'Precious Part" of their bodies. Wake up everybody, and stop this insanity. Those of you who comment and your life is fine after your surgery, again - this is great. But, you are one of the minority and lucky, but we cannot depend on luck - truly.
On a final note - I would not be speaking up about this if it was not such a 'Huge' issue. Women who have been devastated by this do speak up and rightly so. We are trying to make sure this does not happen to any other female. Wouldn't you like someone as this to do just this; i.e., 'Speak Up'? Thank God we are. We may save one woman at a time, but better than none. I wish I would have had someone as myself to listen to before I had my Hyst.. Oh, how I wish...
