It's really awful that the news would brag up a doctor who is performing the most unnecessary barbaric surgery of all time. There is no balanced reporting here describing the damage this does to a woman's body. Regardless how this doctor amputates a woman's uterus and/or ovaries, extensive damage is caused to her pelvic area. It sounds simple to just remove a uterus, but it is anything but. The uterus has a massive blood supply running through it, large ligaments that support giving child birth, and the pelvic area, and millions of nerves that are connected to the spine, genitals and breasts, which are all severed when the uterus is amputated. The uterus is cut away from the bladder leaving it damaged. That is why so many women have urinary problems after this has been done to them. Women who have been hysterectomized have a shorter life span than intact women. This is a horrible unnecessary surgery that has been perpetrated on nearly half the female population in the U.S. and instead of the news bragging it up, they should be informing women of the truth. Women need to know that when they are told they need a hysterectomy, to run the other way. They need to know that this surgery is done for profit 98% of the time. They need to know that the uterus and ovaries are sex organs, just like a man's penis and testicles, and to remove them is castration. Uterus amputation has many long term side effects, which show up overtime, not the next day or week. It is the nightmare that continues for the rest of a woman's life, causing one health problem after another. This is no different than any other corporate crime, except that it on top of the doctor and hospitals making billions, it ruins a woman's health permanently. This horrible barbaric surgery needs to be stopped, not promoted!
