Toodles, I have no anger toward you. I, and others, want to be sure that your post does not leave anyone with the impression that there are women whose bodies are not damaged by hysterectomy. As I said in my earlier comment, I'm glad that you feel the decision you made was right for you. When you say that you researched extensively, met with several specialists, had no alternative, and that every woman's situation is unique, it could easily be misunderstood by readers that you mean you have only positive effects of the surgery.

This is not personal. Understanding female anatomy and functions of the female organs is essential information every woman needs before considering undergoing hysterectomy. The anatomical facts of what is cut, severed, and removed, and the loss of the sexual, structural and cardiovascular protection conferred by the uterus is universal. My comment is not about you, it's about making sure that there is no misperception by readers that any amount of research or consultations with specialists could prevent the loss of the important life long functions of the female organs.
