The discussion started here and my post is:

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

This is my first post on this forum. First of all, let me say that I am a man so that I cannot have personal experiences with endometrisosis, but for other reasons of my own, I have a site that tries to teach women how to avoid hysterectomy.

If you do have endo, then in theory there are methods to help you deal with it without surgery, especially, without hysterectomy, which is a major surgery and additionally will cripple you hormonally to the end of your days.

Instead of talking much here, I’ll give you a few links that will yield further information on this matter:

1) Lupron and why it is dangerous

2) General info on endometriosis written by a woman who got around it without surgery!

3) Choosing the right alternative method to heal endometriosis — hopefuly you might find one that is applicable to your situation.

4) Finally, a listing of endometriosis articles by a “renegade” MD, Dr Joseph Mercola.

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

Also, if you want to see what the endo actually looks like, here is a very interesting endometriosis video:

Autofluorescent laparoscopy diagnosis of endometriosis

Other hysterectomy videos are here.

You can also choose from the conventional endometriosis treatments and alternative endometriosis treatments. If you just need advice what is the right thing for you to do now, you can have me develop a personal plan for you to fight endometriosis, based on medical astrology and energy healing techniques. Contact me here.

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

It is 46 minutes long and shows hydrothermal endometrial ablation performed as a live webcast, on September 27th 2007. Enjoy!

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:

It is over 1 hour long. (Clicking on that link will open a new window, embedding this particular video is forbidden upon request.)

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

All astrologers should come and see the readings of the charts, and students of medical astrology should certainly bookmark the site to come and read all of it!

Students and practitioners of various energy healing techniques, such as Reiki, homeopathy, Su Jok, herbal and flower remedies and so on, should also come to How To Avoid Hysterectomy.com to see how their methods blend in with periods of time that were read through the horoscope.

Of course, all others interested in hysterectomy in particular and in gynecology at large should feel free to subscribe to the RSS feed!

Sometimes, the surgeon will prescribe Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, such as Depot Lupron, to be taken a month or two in advance. That will shrink the fibroids while being taken. The downside of using Lupron is a temporary menopause, with symptoms such as hot flashes, sweating and the like.
