Hysterectomy: Exploring Your Options

Author: Edward E Wallach

Hysterectomy is the second most common major surgical procedure performed on women in the United States. Because of new nonsurgical treatments and the rising opposition to the procedure from women's and patients' groups, hysterectomies are performed less frequently than in the past, but many disorders of the uterus -- fibroid tumors, uterine and cervical cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and uterine prolapse -- still may require surgical treatment. For some women, the decision to have a hysterectomy is an easy one; for others, it is a difficult choice associated with concerns about risks, discomfort, and female identity.

In Hysterectomy: Exploring Your Options, experienced gynecologists Edward Wallach and Esther Eisenberg provide complete and up-to-date information about every aspect of the procedure. Written with compassion for all women, this indispensable guide explains the anatomy of the uterus, describes the symptoms of gynecological disorders that may require hysterectomy, discusses the full range of diagnostic tests and treatments, provides details of the surgery itself and postoperative recovery, includes details about other approaches to treatment, and examines long-term consequences involving sexual and reproductive issues as well as hormone replacement therapy. Also included is useful advice about how to talk with your doctor and case studies illustrating the real-life experiences of a variety of women.

In Hysterectomy: Exploring Your Options, women will find the information they need to work with their physicians to make informed decisions about their health care.

Twenty percent of American women have undergone a hysterectomy, the second most common major surgery performed on females in the United States. Although these numbers are actually declining, owing largely to the availability of less invasive surgical techniques and drug treatments, the procedure is still "here to stay." For this reason, Wallach (gynecology, Johns Hopkins Univ. Sch. of Medicine) and Eisenberg (obstetrics and gynecology, Vanderbilt Univ. Sch. of Medicine) decided to pen this helpful guide to provide the information women need to determine whether a hysterectomy is the best alternative in their specific medical situation. Part 1 reviews the anatomy and physiology of the uterus and related structures, Part 2 discusses the specific conditions that may indicate the need for a hysterectomy, Part 3 addresses the surgery itself, and Part 4 details post-hysterectomy issues. The authors stress two important points: hysterectomy is often performed unnecessarily, and the surgery is almost always done as an elective. This important decision-making tool for women should be included in most consumer health and public library collections.-Linda M.G. Katz, Drexel Univ.
