To most women, menstrual periods are just a fact of life. But to many women, heavy menstrual bleeding ruins lifestyle, forces to stay at home, don’t even go to work, bring pain, gloominess and depression. Traditional solution for this was hysterectomy, but the minimally invasive alternatives to hysterectomy are becoming more popular in the last 5-7 years, due to appearance of a large number of various technological solutions. Endometrial ablation is destroying the inner lining of the uterus, with the goal of reducing the menstrual flow so that life becomes normal again.

For a comprehensive line-up of endometrial ablation methods please have a look at our page called Can Endometrial Ablation Replace Hysterectomy in Cases of Heavy Menorrhagia? The video that we have present here is at

So, you were shocked to learn that you need a hysterectomy. Thanks God, there’s the Internet, and there you are, the very same evening, Googling “hysterectomy” and everything else you may think of in that regards. One of the best ways to learn something valuable is to pose a question in a forum, preferably in a place in which you post regularly. Here is a link to one such discussion, in 3FatChicks.com forum. Read it and see how the sides polarize, some women had “the surgery” and felt great about it, while others had quite bad experiences and still suffer the consequences.

My contribution to that thread was this:

Hi

Having a hysterectomy is never a picnic. The only way of telling what will happen next is medical astrology, but there are very few people in the world that practice it. For every woman that had her hysterectomy done well, there is a legion of women who curse themselves for being so stupid to give their consent for it, without realizing what they actually do.

Uterus is a vital part of woman’s body, it stores sex hormones created by the ovaries during the night and releases them during the day. If there is no uterus, the hormones get expelled with the first morning urination and from there so many problems follow that it would require an entire site to explain the consequences.

Fibroids are tumors, and tumors are large tissues — ask yourself, what in my life is food for these tumors to grow!? Uterus is an organ for emotional responses, it is your primary means of reacting to the world as a woman. In other words, it is the emotions that give food to the tumors and cancers, resolve emotions first, they are the origin of the illness, and simultaneously try to heal the body.

If you want to heal your fibroids and uterus, you may be interested to know that there are several alternative methods of healing the uterus without surgery: homeopathy, Su Jok, Reiki, herbal remedies, seed therapy, a combination of these etc. Maybe the simplest would be to try the enzymes which resolve the myoma, Google them and you’ll find them.

All the best, Dusko Savic

The Da Vinci Robot controlled hysterectomy is one step beyond traditional laparoscopy. One of the main problems with open surgeries were incisions, which meant more pain, scarring, loss of blood, longer hospital stays, increased risk of infections, slower recovery and slower return to normal life. Laparoscopy turns that around, but robotic surgery ups the ante even more.

Here is how it is summarized in article Baptist Hospital now offers robot-assisted hysterectomies:

Traditional open-incision hysterectomies generally require 5-to-12-inch incisions, 3-to-4 days of hospitalization and 6-to-8 weeks off work. Dr. Thomas-Doyle reserves those surgeries for more complicated cases. She has long preferred using less-invasive laparoscopic techniques for her hysterectomy patients. With laparoscopy the large open incision is replaced by a handful of button-size cuts — or ports — through which instruments, including a viewing camera, are inserted and manipulated. Patients remain in the hospital for 24 hours and can return to normal activities in about three weeks.

The da Vinci system takes laparoscopy to the next level: robotic surgery. Visualization is greatly improved with da Vinci robotics. With traditional laparoscopy, the surgeon’s movements must be performed in “mirror image” of what she is doing. The three-dimensional, high-definition da Vinci camera corrects this electronically, allowing a more natural view for the surgeon. The viewing field also can be magnified up to 12 times actual size.

Additionally, da Vinci robotics provides surgeons with an incredible degree of precision. The system bypasses human limitations by correcting unintentional tremor and allowing greater flexibility. While both traditional laparoscopy and robotic surgery result in less discomfort and quicker recovery, the exquisite precision provided by the da Vinci system allows more complex cases to be performed less invasively.

Of course, we at this site, want women to avoid hysterectomy in the first place, however, if it must come to that, the da Vinci robotic surgery may be the way to go, if available to you. Here is the link at youTube.com where you can see the procedure in its entirety:

Here is the all important question:

Question: I have had problems with an irregular cycle. I also have fibroids. My doctor has recommended a hysterectomy, but I am uncomfortable with such radical surgery. Do I have other options? I am 45 and otherwise in good health.

which is answered by Dr. Richard T. Bosshardt for Orlando Sentinel, under the title of
Weigh your options before you undergo hysterectomy. Here is my comment to the article:

==========================

Hi

A nice article written from the doctor’s point of view. I’d also like to remind that there are other methods from alternative medicine that can help with fibroids and irregular bleeding.

With the advent of the Internet, women to which hysterectomy was suggested can ask other women through specialized forums and groups, and there are dozens of sites devoted to hysterectomy and its consequences. Here are suggestions for some of these:

www.youtube.com, search for hysterectomy, laparoscopy, myoma, myomectomy etc.
www.nohysterectomy.com, written by a leading gynecologist in the USA
www.how-to-avoid-hysterectomy.com — minimally invasive procedures such as endometrial ablation instead of hysterectomy, then homeopathy, Bach flower remedies, herbal remedies, Su Jok, Reiki, enzymes… are the methods of energy healing that can all help with the fibroids. The site also contains a collection of annotated videos from youTybe and Google Video.
www.hystersisters.com — a site for hysterectomy recovery, very large, contains a ton of info, but geared to those that have already had their hysterectomy, preferably a “happy” one.

There are other links of course, but these can be a useful start. You have the right to know what will happen to your body after such a major surgery so do your homework well.

All the best, Dusko

Not a day passes that someone will not write about or mention hysterectomy, either in the news or in their blog or wherever.

Low Libido in Women — What To Do About It?

So many women have low libido, a low drive to have sex with their partners. Almost half of the women actually fall into this category and some of the actually want to do something about it. This story, Pills Not Always the Cure for Women Suffering Low Libido, tells us about a case in which testosterone pills actually helped a woman regain her libido, and at the same time, it also states that the low male hormones are far from the only cure.

A typical situation in which sex drive is diminished is after the hysterectomy, you can read an article testosterone for women on this site about it.

Although, as as astrologer, I must add that the quality of your sex drive depends both on your Mars and Venus in the natal chart, as well as on the interplay of these two planets with your partner’s Mars and Venus. (Hint, hint: find a partner with any kind of crossed aspect with your Mars and Venus and you won’t even need artificial hormones!)

Treatments For Menorrhagia Evaluated, UK

Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) is a common problem in women. About 5% of women asks their GP about that such bleeding. In previous decades, hysterectomy was the only way to resolve it, but in the meantime, new surgical techniques evolved. Professor Siladitya Bhattacharya of the University of Aberdeen will lead a team of researchers to review the existing evidence about hysterectomy, endometrial ablative techniques (microwave endometrial ablation and thermal balloon ablation), and the Mirena coil. The goal of the study is to establish long term effectiveness of all these methods, and then to create a set of guidelines for doctors to follow in clinical decision making. The estimated publishing time is mid 2010.

Here are the technical details of the proposed study.

New Hysterectomy Offers Faster Recovery

A sugar-coated story of how a woman had increasingly heavy periods and anemia, how her doctor persuaded her to take the uterus out and how she walked home the next day after the laparoscopic, or minimally-invasive, hysterectomy.

This story reads like an open advertisement for hysterectomy. Laparascopy is better than laparotomy, and yes, you do walk away from the hospital much faster as compared to the usual gynecological surgery. What the story does not tell is that from now on that woman will live without her main sex organ, and that can hurt in more ways that one.

Incidentally, in this hysterectomy news here is an animated video of laparoscopic hysterectomy. If you are interested in video presentations concerning hysterectomy, you can use a rich collection of annotated hysterectomy videos from the very site that you are reading now, How To Avoid Hysterectomy.com.

Peggy Anderson Blog: September is
National Gynecological Awareness Month

I’ll just quote Peggy Anderson:

I know that I didn’t consider myself at risk. I was at 23 years of age, had cervical cancer, and had a hystertomy. At 33 years of age I had vaginal cancer due to bad cells left over from my surgery from that caused some major problems for me. Hemorrhaging problems that brought me to emergency wards, even though I had a hysterectomy. I had a procedure called cryosurgery or freezing of the cells. (Since I will turn 60 this next year, I don’t get embarrassed about “the little things in life.” Health is important in our society!)

I always say, “Every day is a gift.” This is especially so for many cancer patients, who cherish the rising of the sun, and the smell of a flower, a new taste, a new day, and a new event. We see the beauty in every day and every tomorrow.

Read her blog post about the conditions that can lead to various forms of gynecological cancers.

I’d like to do her natal chart and see why she had all these medical problems and also what enabled her to survive them all for decades.

Sex After Hysterectomy

Here is an ongoing discussion on the effects hysterectomy has on sex. I added a comment and here is what I have said (I’ll record it here, in case they don’t allow my comment on their blog):

================================

Hi to all here

Although my site is active for more than two years by now, I have only today stumbled upon this blog. The comments here show how painful everything about hysterectomy seems to be and what I find most disturbing is this sheep mentality that so many women succumb to. Oh, the doctor said it would be OK, so it must be OK, right? The thought that some real healing should be tried before the surgery is so alien to the Western World that the results really are sickening.

Every illness has its cause. Removing the cause will lead to true healing, but what do women do instead!? They go to a doctor and hope that they will be able to purchase a solution. Hysterectomy is so widespread in the USA because there is an implicit belief that doctors hold the keys to everything and vise versa, if they don’t know what to do, than all the means are exhausted. This enervates me because I know that there are at least 5, 6 or 7 ways to heal uterine fibroids, heavy menstrual bleeding, cancer and so on. In 20% of cases, hysterectomy will be the only way to proceed, but what about those 80% that can really avoid hysterectomy if only they knew it were possible.

Somebody in these comments said it was not possible to predict the outcome of a hysterectomy. Well, it is possible to predict it through the methods of medical astrology. On my site I list many such cases, and I openly give the recipes that helped several women stop their menstrual bleeding, avoid hystrectomy etc. And here we are not talking about $5000 cost of surgery, we are talking about cheap natural remedies such as herbal remedies, homeopathic remedies, enzymes and the like, that can all be gathered for a few bucks from Amazon.

The point is this: if you want to get healed, you will be — but somebody first has to tell you that you can be healed. Surgery is cutting out, not healing. The Moon rules both the uterus and the breasts, and when they take away the uterus, the energy goes to the breasts… which is why so many women on HRT after hysterectomy develop cancer of the breasts.

For the ladies here that experienced sex drive through the roof after hysterectomy, that kind of behavior is astrologically described as an aspect of Mars and Uranus. It may well be possible that such an aspect was made during the surgery, and that it may affect you harder that it normally would. Strong sexual drives may also come as a result of too much testosterone, so everybody with this type of behavior should control their hormonal mix from time to time.

================================

You can read about hysterectomy side effects from this very site. Also, here is what I wrote about sex after hysterectomy.

That’s it for this week, then!

You are 40 and pregnant and you decide to abort. It is your right, the law says so, so why not? When you go there, due to to unforeseen factors such as ruptured uterus, you lose 4 liters of blood, and the doctor performing the abortion calls upon another doctor and they perform a hysterectomy, against your will.

If this were an episode from some TV soap opera, you would just laugh and try for another channel. For this woman in Lincoln, Nebraska, the above scenario is reality. This baby will not be born and this woman will also never get pregnant again, that’s for sure! Now she sues the doctors at Planned Parenthood clinic for $38,000, to compensate for pain, fright, medical costs and so on (you can read the entire story here, at JournalStar.com archives.)

Let have a look at the horary chart of this event, which will show what actually happened:

Uranus opp Sun — sudden decisions,

Uranus sq Mars and Sun sq Mars — totally unpredictable events,

Moon con Mars — uterus will be operated, uterus in blood,

Jupiter opp Mars — enormous blood flow, with the Moon so close — in the uterus,

Venus, Saturn, Sun, Mercury in the seventh house — she wants to sue in order to punish them (Saturn), revenge

Pluto sq Mercury which rules the fifth house of pregnancies — there will be no more pregnancies, it is final (Pluto in square).

There you have it. An unusual case, quite explained through its chart.
