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

First and foremost, this is for women who are threatened by the word hysterectomy and what it really means. 80% of all hysterectomies can be avoided, provided there is time and will. (I can tell you whether is there time, through a medical astrology reading, but you must supply your own will to avoid it.)

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.

In spring 2001 this woman had long and heavy bleedings. She went to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with:

. heavy metrorrhagia (profuse bleeding),

. heavy anaemia, and a

. fibroid 2×4 cm on the rear wall of the uterus.

She was released from the hospital without any intervention or therapy for the acutely bleeding uterine fibroids! In this situation, she remembered homeopathy, due to Mercury in Pisces and Venus in Aries in the solar chart. (The signs of Pisces and Aries are very imporant for homeopathy, because its founder, Samuel Hanneman, had three planets in Pisces and another three planets in Aries; Kent also had six planets in these signs.) So she was prescribed a routine mixture of homeopathic remedies for uterine fibroids. All the problems, including the fibroid itself, disappeared within the first month of treatment, without any surgery.

Hysteroscopic myomectomy, also called hysteroscopic resection, can be a myomectomy method of choice if the fibroids are all (intracavitary) or for the most part (submucosal) on the inner wall of the uterus. The instrument used is called the resectoscope, and it is a special kind of hysteroscope. Hysteroscope goes through the cervix and there is no need for an incision at all in this method. Hysteroscope is a tiny camera, and the resectoscope part is a wire loop, which removes the fibroid. If the fibroid is particularly large, two procedures may be needed.

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.

Myomectomy is surgical removal of uterine fibroids. The goal is to bring back the uterus to its usual level of functioning. It is the only surgical procedure for uterine fibroids that can preserve the possibility of getting pregnant. There are cases of women that got through pregnancy without any problems after having this kind of surgery.

Besides abdominal, there are also laparoscopic and hysteroscopic myomectomy. Abdominal myomectomy represents the most classical approach:

A “true surgery” one might say, comparable to a large surgery of any other internal organ.

Myomectomy is surgical removal of uterine fibroids. Its goal is to repair the uterus and bring it back to its usual functioning. It is the only surgical procedure for uterine fibroids that can preserve the possibility of getting pregnant after it.

The main practical goal here is to stop heavy bleeding and pressure on the internal organs from the (possibly large) fibroids. The disadvantage is that fibroids can happen again. Fibroids that are cut out cannot come back, but if nothing else changes in the life of the patient, fibroids that were not operated upon may grow larger, or new ones can form. If there were one or two large fibroids and they were taken out, the risk of other such fibroids growing again is low. If there were a large number of small fibroids and some of them were not taken out during myomectomy, they can just continue growing as if no surgery ever happened.
