I was the anon poster who wrote on the 6th April about my mother. Sorry it was do badly written but I had my son trying to turn off my monitor and play with my keyboard while typing. First I just wanted to add that I had to see a gynecological oncologist about the hysterectomy as my OB would not be performing it. Well one one the first things she said to me was that "sex would be BETTER after a hysterectomy". Of course my mouth dropped. And this was coming from a woman!
And another point that I would like to make is that we have a family friend who was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Do you know want his doctor said to him? You wouldn't want an operation because it could adversely affect your sexual functioning and your over all quality of life!!! Oh they are so honest with men aren't they! It just confirms my belief that gynecologists are misogynists. Read about the history of gynecology and you will see what I mean. The "father" of gynecology J Marion Sims used to buy black slaves and operate on them without anesthetic until they died. Some poor women endured up to 30 operations. So is it any wonder that doctors treat women like they do to this day?
