Few things are as unnerving for a woman as contemplating a hysterectomy. This material has been provided by a doctor who offers her insight and experience on what a woman can expect during the initial OB-GYN visit, along with questions she should ask at that time. Then on to a discussion of HRT therapy and, finally, potential reasons for undergoing a hysterectomy, along with the various aspects to be considered when weighing the alternatives before making the final decision to have one. This is a well-written, reassuring discussion of a subject many women find very difficult to talk about.
