Hysterectomy: The Shocking Truth by Lee Rothberg

link> HYSTERECTOMY: THE SHOCKING TRUTH

 "In 1978, Nora Coffey, then in her mid-thirties, had surgery which sent shock waves throughout her body and changed her life forever. The operation removed both her uterus (hysterectomy) and her ovaries (castration). However, contrary to what Coffey had been advised by both her medical and lay resources, their removal produced changes in her body which left her emotionally and physically crippled.
    Prior to the operation, Coffey describes herself as "a strong, healthy, vigorous woman, working as a researcher in biochemistry." Then she says she began to experience annoying, irregular vaginal bleeding which lasted nearly a year. Without exploring any other method of treatment, says Coffey, her doctor advised a hysterectomy."- Lee Rothberg
