Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 It does sound pretty drastic to remove everything when the problem (based on what you say) is contained in the uterus. I find it hard to believe that they cannot biopsy with all the technology they have these days... but I'm not the MD. If she has not sought out a second opinion, I'd have her do so. If she has access to a Women's Clinic with a qualified OB-GYN, I'd point her in that direction. Good luck to her. My mother struggled for 20 yrs with 'do I/don't I?' get a hysterectomy. After watching an episode of Phil Donohue, she opted not to get one and she is very happy she did so. God Bless talk shows every once in a while! Every case is different, and we should all remember sometimes removal is just good medicine, too.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 If she's willing to go the alternative route, a mayan abdominal massage practitioner can put everything back into place and teach her how to do it--it takes a little time--but improvement is immediate. The lady learned it from a mayan shaman (mayan women have many kids, putting strain on uterus). arvigomassage.com is the place to look for a local practitioner. Those ladies are very skilled, and those who do it for a living have seen everything. Growths, bleeding, twisted, out of position--mayan massage resolves all of these over time and they teach you how to do it yourself for maintenance. best wishes, Fiona > > My sister is having a hysterectomy because of growths and bleeding in her uterus (she has two uterus.)

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I can not wait to have a hysterectomy and every woman I know who has had one, including my mom back when I was a teen, said it was the best thing that ever happened. At this point we are in the process of finding out if we can even have more children but once we know, we can move forward and I can get closer to having one myself which I have wanted since my horrible periods started at 13. However, no reason to remove ovaries if they are healthy. They do protect with hormones until menopause. And there would not be any reason to remove the cervix either. There can be other options to a hysterectomy but if your sister is like me and tired of all the bleeding (and PMS) and is at the age and after kids then I say go for it but ask to keep those ovaries if they are healthy. > > My sister is having a hysterectomy because of growths and bleeding in her uterus (she has two uterus.)

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 CC: If your periods are horrible due to severe cramping-- I was this way and suffered for many years. I mean I had to be given narcotics --the pain was that bad. Then I read an article that this can be caused from calcium deficiency or abnormal metabolism of calcium, so I started taking a supplement religiously, and then only had mild cramps and mild PMS. Be sure you are getting enough magnesium and D3 with it. I cannot take calcium at night or I get horrible heartburn. I took it in the morning with food.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I think there is a possibility that severe cramping and PMS are a result of mercury toxicity. Too late in my life to test that hypothesis, but I clearly remember reading the report of a younger woman (on the adult Cutler chelation list) who had suffered from this problem and had the agony disappear following several rounds of Cutler protocol. I would sure consider getting all amalgams out and trying this before risking a hysterectomy.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 My heavy periods are due to old fashion fibroids. I had them for years, finally had seven removed in 2004 from the size of a pea to the size of a golf ball. They have returned - proven by a test done two weeks ago. Many women have fibriods and they don't cause any problems but they can cause heavy periods, bad cramping, anemia, and problems getting pregnant. I don't know if they are now causing problems getting pregnant but before my 2004 surgery I had all the other symptoms. Fibriods are also the number one reason for hysterectomies. And I don't want to ever bleed again - I WANT that hysterectomy. > > > > CC: > > > > If your periods are horrible due to severe cramping-- I was this way and > > suffered for many years.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Okay, then if the problem is fibroids I would suggest you get your iodine levels checked. You are probably deficient in iodine. I found this out after fibrosystic breast disease and several biopsies of the breast, including excision of dysplastic cells. I also had fibroids and had seven uterine fibroids removed many years ago. then three uterine fibroids came back. since going on iodine supplementation, I have had perfect mammograms, I have no fibrocystic breast disease anymore, and the uterine fibroids have shrunk. Most people --especially women are iodine deficient. I use Iodoral. I was also able to cut my use of thyroid hormone after going on it. I only need half as much as I did before going on iodine. But for severe cramping, calcium supplementation saved me. As far as a hysterectomy goes, I would avoid any surgery if I could. Taking anything out leaves an empty space, and it is possible for other organs to shift and cause more problems. I have also read many reports and read articles where many women say this ruined their sex lives and killed their libido. Just saying this if this is an important facet of your life (not that any of us parents of ASD kids have much time for romance). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I suggest you both google " fibroids mercury " and see if what you find rings any bells or resonates at all. I think there is a probable link. Sue > > Okay, then if the problem is fibroids I would suggest you get your iodine > levels checked. You are probably deficient in iodine.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Have you considered iodine supplementation? A deficiency can cause fibroids, fibrocystic breasts and much more. http://www.breastcancerchoices.org/iodine.html http://www.ehow.com/facts_5018989_benefits-iodine-fibroids.html iodine/?yguid=441733353 > > My heavy periods are due to old fashion fibroids.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 the thing is that my sister has bleeding and they see some growths in her uterus. they are not able to get a biopsy of them, because of the angle. she went to 3 different doctors. they feel the growths should come out, since she is bleeding and they are not sure if there cancerous.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 She should NOT have her ovaries removed! She needs her natural hormones to be healthy. As far as the cervix, removing it does make sex feel different for both partners but I don't know of any particular other reason not to.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Even if she is going through menopause and does not plan on having children? Nor is she sexually active. She is 52.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Just b/c she is not sexually active at 52, does not mean she won't be at 62. > > > > > > My sister is having a hysterectomy because of growths and bleeding in her uterus (she has two uterus.)
