I was advised to get a hysterectomy as the only option for my constant bleeding and after going to six different gynecologists, I succumbed to this butchery and my life turned over. The pain from this routine surgery lasted for almost two years. But the mess up is that I have no hormones as my healthy ovaries were also removed. I went into a surgical menopause and since then have been suffering with hotflashes, bone and muscle aches and thyroid issues, weight gain of forty pounds that I cant lose, memory problems. The list is a lot longer and I was told by several doctors that the surgery has nothing to do with it.
WRONG - after suffering by going to doctors and relying on their care, I started doing my research and thousands of women are going through the pain I described above. I still have no energy but have decided to devote my time to collecting and writing and educating women to not get this unnecessary surgery done.
I can recommend several books to read and have started collecting stories of many women who went through this unfortunate treatment.
Please do not hesitate to ask if I can answer any questions.
