Your points make me think that is why we see so much breast cancer today.
It’s pandemic in America and in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s and ‘90’s most women had hysterectomies…then took estrogen replacement therapy.
All I know is my grandma and all the old ancestors didn’t do that so the uterus may have some benefits we don’t know about. Keep your uterus intact!
I’m hanging onto mine for dear life.
The neighbor and her daughter both had total hysterectomies.
Listening to their tales of woe and misery have made a believer of me.
The subtle interplay of estrogen and progesterone are necessary for good health.
Most think you ‘run out of estrogen’ at menopause.
The opposite is true.
You become estrogen dominant due to the ~decrease~ in *progesterone*.
Most ‘female’ cancers are estrogen dependent.
Without the ‘youthful’ progesterone to balance it, it runs amok and unopposed.
We also now have a flood of ‘artificial’ estrogen mimics in our environments along with the unavoidable soy phytoestrogens popping up in far too many foods.
Thanks to store-bought foods and other items, we have lost touch with the nature of our own personal beasts.
BTW, Izzy’s brother, who is also Pookie’s uncle, just turned *16* on May 6th.
MOST women had hysterectomies? I’ve never even had that impression.
Regarding cancer, never forget average death age has increased greatly in a short time. One is much more bound to get cancer the elder one is. Even happened to my dog being old.
