What every woman wants to know about hysterectomy

Because the uterus is inside the pelvis, the functions are not visible. The uterus sits behind the bladder and in front of the bowel, supporting them and keeping them in their natural place. When the uterus is removed, the bowel drifts down to take up the space where the uterus had been. Uterine contractions that occur during orgasm will not be experienced after the uterus is removed. During a hysterectomy the uterus is removed, and the hormone-responsive, sexual, and pelvic support functions are permanently lost.

you have just helped me a great deal..

you have no idea how much this info is needed and means to me..

thank you is just not enough for me to say..

They may be "the facts", but for women who's quality of life (or life expectancy) is virtually NIL without this operation, then there is no real choice.

If you are a woman who has tried EVERYTHING else, but you are bleeding so much you need blood transfusions, or you have cancer then this video is upsetting.

Can I suggest the facts could at least be presented in a more academic way, without the verbal posturing and monotonous drawn out deliberation? It's almost like an anti-smoking ad!

I saw this video after I was diagnosed with cancer, but before surgery. It totally freaked me out! Since I had no choice about surgery I felt trapped and desperate. Perhaps all of what's said here is true, but the nature of presentation was traumatic. It took several weeks to process the fear, giving my cancer time to develop from Stage 1A to 1B, which now also requires chemo or radiation.

I believe in education, but please, education with compassion. I think this video is radical.

I agree with everyone else. This video is bias. You Suck! Take this crappy video down!

[mournlight]

Although this video may be completely factual, it sure has an opinionated slant to it with an obvious stress of certain words. That makes it hard to listen to, for me. It doesn't come across as even remotely fair. The fact that it has such obvious bias makes me really suspicious of it.

Ladies, If you are able to keep your uterus and ovaries, I AM ALL FOR IT! I am happy for you, but for this HACK to call us who have had it done STEREL AND SEXLESS, I call BS!

[speedytx1]

You need to go to medical school and learn about what you are talking about.

SHAME ON YOU FOR LYING TO THESE WOMEN!

The body learns to compensate, I have both clitreral and G-spot orgasims, and TOGETHER! Since I had my Hysterectomy.

When did you have yours?

That's right, you probabally never had one and claim to know all.

SHAME ON YOU, LIAR!!!!

@grossguys

It was a necessary operation but I don't really need your permission or acceptance. I re-state my original concern about this video. It is good to have all the information before any medical precedure but this video does not help at all. It just states all possible problems with hysterectomies.... which as I said is very scary when you have to have the operation. That's all this video really achieves, scaring people. Rather like those folks who rant against abortion.

@langsense

Try looking into alternative therapies or treatments that your doc won't necessarily tell you about. But if you have to do it and your life is in jeapardy then you have to do it. Nothing you can do about it so at least rest your mind at ease with the knowledge that it is something beyond your control.

I'm a man? It's apparent you put your foot in your mouth too often and really are clueless as to what is going on around you but yet pretend to know everything. I think you are in denial. Let's see how you turn out years down the road when your ovaries start to fail as a high proportion of women endure this even when ovaries are kept intact cause the blood supply to them is damaged. You just had an operation and think you have authority to comment? Try waiting 5-10 years. Joke

[langsense]

Well thanks very much for scaring the hell out of me. I have to have an hysterectomy at the end of August. I was looking for information and though your video is informative it's also one-sided and damned scary for those who have to go through the procedure.

I wish I hadn't watched this video, all you've done is escalate my concerns.

[whitewitch82]

@grossguys How much do you know about women and this proceedure? really your a man have you had a hystarectomy? I doubt it? All you medical people or so called wanabe drs should refure people who want this operation to other women who have had it not just reading what COULD happen from some crack pot medical book, Secound if women are dump enought not to do their own research then thats their stupidity!
