Well when we made abortion and contraception contraptions (IUD’s etc…) as the cornerstones of women’s “healthcare” and worth billions in profits …is it any wonder that our bodies are no longer considered sacred enough to heal and preserve? Research and funding for the whole scope of women’s health has been set back generations as a result.

But always profitable.

I had a hysterectomy that I did not need. Yes, I had a mass on my ovary. I could have had just my ovaries removed had the endocrinology department done a better job of differential diagnosis. I am still hacked off about the whole thing. My adrenal glands are the problem.

The only way I can reconcile what happened is to think I might have eventually developed cancer since it does run in my family.

IF Endocrinology had done their job I ponder would I have had a radical hysterectomy knowing I did have a mass, a relative died of ovarian cancer, and I had blood work that indicated there was a problem. The answer is I would have only had my ovaries removed.

I contend that more than one in five hysterectomies are unnecessary. It’s probably closer to 2 out of 3. It’s a man’s mechanical procedure applied to a woman’s body. They figure the cervix is bad so they take out the uterus. While they are in there, they might as well take out the fallopian tubes. And might as well take out the ovaries. I believe that the removal of ovaries is way too common and I also suspect that it is why there are so many “butch” women out there. I don’t have any evidence other than a supposition but I doubt that there is much research on this subject. Pretty much I don’t think doctors want the public to do research into their practices. It’s practically superstitious the way they are so destructive of women’s anatomy. Ovaries make hormones as well as eggs just like testes make hormones as well as sperms. I believe that oophorectomies are to women what castrations are to men. There is no outside evidence that the ovaries are missing unlike dudes who would notice every waking second of their lives.

Having a hysterectomy (at age 45) ranks number five on my list of top five best things that ever happened to me.

As the article states, hysterectomies used to be much more common. Like tonsillectomies.

There’s a good historical graph about halfway through this article:

If fibroids are stated as the reason, there are some therapeutic ways to reduce certain types of fibroids.

There are also new minimally invasive options to remove fibroids, which can still leave women capable of having children.
