Provides comprehensive information on hysterectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the uterus. Authored by several medical doctors specializing in gynecology and obstetrics, it explores the reasons behind considering a hysterectomy, such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, uterine prolapse, abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, and various cancers like those affecting the uterus and cervix. The text outlines diagnostic procedures used to identify these conditions, including pelvic exams, Pap smears, imaging techniques (ultrasound, CT, MRI), and specialized gynecologic tests. It also discusses the surgical process itself, covering preoperative preparation, the hospital stay, different surgical approaches (vaginal, abdominal, laparoscopic, robotic-assisted), potential complications, and post-operative recovery. Finally, the material addresses life after hysterectomy, including sexual health, reproductive options after uterine removal, and hormone replacement therapy.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Hysterectomy-Exploring-Options-Hopkins-Health/dp/142141631X?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=f359790cbb89b79d2f5f5d40f3e671e0&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
