In this modern, accessible resource by board-certified OB\/GYN Dr. Kameelah Phillips, you'll find everything you need to know to prepare before, during, and after surgery.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHearing the words \"you need a hysterectomy\" make for a particularly hard pill to swallow for many women, even though the events prior to that conversation can be fraught with pain, heavy bleeding, fibroids, or endometriosis, among a range of uterine issues. 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. \u003ci\u003eThe Empowered Hysterectomy \u003c\/i\u003eis the antidote to the lack of medically sounds resources and the overwhelming amount of misinformation surrounding this procedure. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOffered by Dr. Kameelah Phillips, a New York based, board certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist, 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, better able to avoid potential pitfalls in the doctor-patient conversation around treatment options for common conditions that can lead to a hysterectomy, and elevate the discourse around our bodies for a community in need of transparency in medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Phillips will discuss the ins-and-outs of the preparation for, surgical procedure, and recovery period; and also educate readers on the origins of hysterectomy, the ripple effect the procedure has had throughout our society, and offer a refresher on the female anatomy--something many women are often out of touch with. This is not a guide meant to convince readers to have surgery; Dr. Phillips will also address non-surgical options, including non-traditional holistic treatments and lifestyle modifications for managing pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55174376292726,"sku":"9781538769355","price":14.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_34500244.jpg?v=1747951453","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781538769355-the-empowered-hysterectomy","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
