Cancer accounts for less than 1% of the hysterectomy operations performed every year. In other words, out of the 650,000 hysterectomies performed annually, uterine cancer is found LESS than 1% of the time. I think most women would be concerned that unnecessary hysterectomies are being performed on their mothers, sisters and daughters at an alarming rate. If you have daughters, they have a 1 in 2 chance of being hysterectomized before they turn 65 years old in the United States. Is that what you want for them? It is unfortunate for anyone to have cancer and to have organs removed to save their life, but it is preposterous that gynecologists would remove healthy organs from women when it is not medically warranted. Women need to know the truth because it is scary that the very people who are acting as healers, are the ones doing the most harm.
