THE H WORD discusses the common reasons hysterectomy is recommended, the diagnostic studies that should be performed to obtain a diagnosis, alternatives in treatment, and strategies to help women cope with the lifelong aftereffects of removal of the uterus and ovaries. It revolutionizes our understanding of female anatomy and the important lifelong functions of the female organs, while revealing a solution to the complex problem of hysterectomy performed without the information that is necessary for informed consent. The HERS Foundation¹s 51-city, 51-week Protest & Play tour provides the backdrop for THE H WORD, which takes an unflinching look at the environment of hysterectomy in America. THE H WORD empowers women with information that gynecology doesn¹t want you to know about 100 years of hysterectomy in America, as experienced by women in every state of the country. Give this book to a gynecologist.

Strongly recommended reading for the woman who wants to know all she can before making a decision,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The H Word: The diagnostic studies to evaluate symptoms, alternatives in treatment, and coping with the aftereffects of hysterectomy. (Paperback)
It's a major change in a woman's life to lose the ability to give birth. "The H Word" discusses the hysterectomy and the details surrounding it. Nora W. Coffey & Rich Schweikert seek to arm women with knowledge about the procedure and encourage them to understand when it is truly necessary by discussing symptoms, viable alternatives to the procedure, and giving solid advice in understanding the after-effects. "The H Word" is strongly recommended reading for the woman who wants to know all she can before making a decision.

The H Word,

This review is from: The H Word: The diagnostic studies to evaluate symptoms, alternatives in treatment, and coping with the aftereffects of hysterectomy. (Paperback)
Absolutely essential reading for any woman contemplating the surgical amputation of her female organs. I wish I had read it before I was manipulated into consenting to an unnecessary hysterectomy and unilateral castration.

I like how it goes into every state of the country. I should've read this years ago, and then I wouldn't have all the problems I'm having now.
