Editorial Reviews

Review
"Been there, done that, does not an expert make.  Event though I have had a hysterectomy and am a sex educator/counselor, I still learned a great deal about hysterectomy from this book.  Highly recommended reading."

—Sue Hohanson, RN CM, sex educator/counselor and host of the Sunday Night Sex Show

Product Description
Everything women need to know to face surgery with confidence

This book puts women facing a hysterectomy firmly in the driver’s seat, explaining the procedure as well as alternative therapies in step-by-step detail. Real-life patient stories, extensive self-help sections, and detailed illustrations take the mystery out of doctor visits and operating room procedures. The book also includes a directory of resources, a guide to complementary therapies, and a diary to help people keep track of treatment and recovery.

Togas Tulandi, MD, is Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at McGill University and recognized worldwide as a leader in women’s health. Barbara R. Levy, MD, is Assistant Clinical Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Washington School of Medicine and is the Medical Director of the Women’s Health Center, St. Francis Pavilion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful book, February 10, 2004
By A Customer
I found this book clear, concise and very helpful. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that once again, despite it's title, it includes alternatives to hysterectomy. For those of us who have already made the decision out of necessity, I find that annoying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, fairly up-to-date, unbiased. , January 8, 2005
By cynthia_colorado (Rocky Mountains) - See all my reviews
  
Less biased than some books on the subject. Discusses hysterectomies and less-drastic alternative treatments, including the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of each. Discusses different methods of hysterectomy -- vaginal, abdominal, and laproscopic, and includes the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of each method. Some hysterectomy books do not mention the newer all-laproscopic method of hysterectomy, but this gives it good coverage. Also pros and cons of what to include in the hysterectomy, especially ovaries which have a major impact. Includes an in-depth discussion of what to expect after hysterectomy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great balanced guide, April 21, 2005
By K. Self (Birmingham, AL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I picked this book up at the library and am considering buying a copy, even though my surgery is scheduled for just a week from now. It is a great guide to what will happen, what questions to ask, how to prepare, etc., etc., etc. I'm on my second reading now and will probably read it again. Definitely worth the $10 or so price tag in my opinion.
