Synopsis
An upwards of 500,000 hysterectomies are performed every year in the U.S. alone, and approximately 20 million women ranging in ages from 18-70 have had this procedure—and yet, there are few comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible resources that provide a complete view of the hysterectomy. This leaves those considering surgery to fend for themselves to gain a clear understanding of the process. The Empowered Hysterectomy is the antidote to the lack of medically sounds resources and the overwhelming amount of misinformation surrounding this procedure.
This handbook is a comprehensive, evidence-based, and empowering guide all women need to read before a making a life-changing, irreversible decision about their health and well-being. This book will help avoid gaslighting and coercion by physicians and help women come to the table prepared and informed. Dr. Phillips will discuss the ins-and-outs of the preparation for the surgical procedure and recovery period; and also educate readers on the origins of hysterectomy. Dr. Phillips will also address non-surgical options, including non-traditional holistic treatments and lifestyle modifications for managing pain.
