Description
Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed on women throughout the world. This new edition of Hysterectomy: New Options and Advances provides an up-to-date and highly readable assessment of changing patterns in hysterectomy, including remarkable advances in the procedure itself. Written by two leading international specialists in women's health and an award-winning medical journalist, Hysterectomy contains information about a range of new options that do not involve removal of the uterus and which are replacing hysterectomy for many women. These include various types of surgery and drug therapy, and non-drug treatments such as 'alternative' therapies. In a separate chapter the authors answer questions often asked by women contemplating a hysterectomy. The book also offers advice about finding a skilful and compatible doctor, lifestyle changes that may help avoid future problems, and the effects of surgery and other treatments on sexual interest, response and satisfaction.
