Have you scheduled a hysterectomy because of an ubearable pain in your uterus? If you have an IUD, Intrauterine Device, you might want to think twice over the matter.

An Intrauterine Device (IUD) is inserted into the cervix and into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is not noticeable during the intercourse and can last from 1 up to 10 years. The role of an IUD is to change the lining of the uterus and fallopian tubes, changing the way eggs and sperm move so that fertilization does not occur. Several problems that an IUD can bring are heavier menstrual bleeding, piercing or perforation of the uterine wall, any vaginal infection can result in permanent infertility and so on.

Here is one blog post, by Sockpuppet, in which she says

I had made up my mind at the end of last year that I was in too much pain to continue dealing with my endometriosis. Went to my dr. discussed options and had decided to have a hysterectomy. (much to my drs. disappointment) A couple of weeks went by, I started talking to women going through the same pain and stress. I read up on hysterectomies and then I started reading up on IUDs. Alot of information is out there about IUDs and alot of it came back to the IUD actually causing my pain. I made another decision. Let’s take the IUD out, see if the pain changes. If it doesn’t then okay, if it does then we’ll see. I went in told my dr what I wanted to do, he agreed. It was as though he literally pulled the pain away from my body when he took out the IUD!! I had been in such life altering pain before that… to the point that I had to force myself to function, or to get out of bed. It was a nightmare.

She then switched to the pill and cancelled the hysterectomy. A happy ending and not a happy hysterectomy! Congratulations!

In the rest of the post she wonders whether to have one more baby or not. Here is my comment to the entire post:

Thank you for this post. I have a site on how to avoid hysterectomy and here you are, changing the state of the things, taking the IUD out, and cancelling the hysterectomy in consequence! Bravo! Now you have a chance to have a second baby!

BTW, having a second baby is more work, but it’s not really double the work you already do for one child. Think of it as of a gift to Lulu. If you do have a second baby, she will have a sibling for life:

another birthday party each year,

mutual support for life,

someone to play with and be angry at…

I don’t believe the state of the economy has anything to do with having babies. After all, now we live better than our parents, but that did not stop them from having you and me.

Wishing you all the best, and

Sincerely, Dusko Savic

So what about you? Would you have one more child if you did not have a hysterectomy?

PMDD Alternative Medicine Therapy is a combination of alternative therapies that might help with PMDD, Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Depression. Here is an example of how a woman with PMDD actually feels like.

PMDD is similar to premenstrual syndrome (PMS), but differs from it in severity. She is anxious, full of anger, there is depression as well. Irritability runs amok. The symptoms surface between ovulation and menstruation, and disappear within a few days after the onset of the bleeding. The main symptoms may consist of the following:

• feelings of sadness or despair, or possibly suicidal thoughts
• feelings of tension or anxiety
• panic attacks
• mood swings, crying
• lasting irritability or anger, increased interpersonal conflicts
• disinterest in daily activities and relationships
• trouble thinking or focusing
• tiredness or low energy
• food cravings or binge eating
• having trouble sleeping
• feeling out of control
• physical symptoms, such as bloating, heart palpitations, breast tenderness, headaches, and joint or muscle pain

Five or more of these symptoms may indicate PMDD. Symptoms occur during the week before the menstrual cycle and disappear within a few days after the onset of the bleeding.

No wonder women with PMDD start wanting to have a hysterectomy, thinking it will erase the pain.

PMDD Alternative Medicine Therapy

In the USA, PMDD is recognized as a disease, while in other parts of the world, that simply isn’t so. Nevertheless, PMDD should be treated and there are several alternative medicine disciplines that might land a hand here. From homeopathy, Cimicifuga Racemosa, Black Cohosh, comes to mind, because it links severe menstrual disorder with the idea of suicide. From Bach Flower Remedies, one might think of

Cherry Plum, to stop from suicidal actions,

Mimulus from being fearful when “that time of the month” starts approaching,

Impatiens to regulate pain,

Gorse to finally find some new way of healing.

Mustard and Gentian are also a must to relieve depression.

Reiki would be excellent here, as anybody can apply it and it will alleviate the pain at first, and then work towards the general healing. If you apply Reiki towards an affirmation such as

I want to find the best way to cure my PMDD

new doors be start to open to you. The consequence of giving Reiki to such an affirmation is that new methods of healing may enter your life, so even if Reiki would lead to homeopathy or something else, it would still be acceptable!

So, there you go! If you suffer from PMDD, please try out this PMDD Alternative Medicine Therapy and let us know the results through the comments on this page.

Manage pain with Reiki heal yourself before opting for hysterectomy because of blood clotting, heavy menstrual bleedings, inability to move away from the house and so on. High on this list of discomforts is pain, pure and simple pain, the sign our bodies send us to alert us that something is wrong. I’ll list here several types and locations of pain related to certain (not all of them, of course) gynecological causes:

– abdominal pain,

– acute pain,

– agony,

– back pain,

– chronic pain,

– pain after surgery,

– pain and depression,

– pain during sexual intercourse,

– pain in the uterus,

– pain in the ovaries,

– pain during urination,

– pain during bowel movements

and so on.

Reiki can be applied as a universal remedy for pain. It is ideal in this regards because it is possible to apply it without knowing anything about the diagnosis, nature of the disease and so on. You can manage pain with Reiki because it is not actually you who are healing, it is Reiki itself, a loving intelligent energy of healing.

Sometimes you will be able to manage pain with Reiki and nothing else, but in many cases the process or healing or recovery will be speeded up if you apply other alternative medicine techniques, such as acupuncture, homeopathy, Bach flower remedies and so on.  If you are too debilitated to contemplate all this, ask the people you live with to fetch remedies for you or learn how to apply them to you.

The following question was posted on Yahoo Answers, on 6th of December 2007:

My mother had uterine fibroid tumors, and I think I may have them, too. I am bleeding extremely heavily, enough to soak a tampon within half an hour. I have made a doctor’s appointment, but they cannot see for a month.

Are there natural ways to reduce this bleeding? HELP!

Here is my answer, which, by the way, was in no way the only one.
