    Default Important news on hysterectomies

    For those women who may require this procedure (and it's often unnecessary but that's another topic...) make sure to avoid this method of Hysterectomy:

    "Hysterectomy procedure risks the spreading of undetected uterine cancers, according to a new study by the Columbia University Medical Center.

    Hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus through small incisions. Morcellation - in which the uterus is fragmented into smaller pieces - is the common method used for uterus removal.

    In April, federal regulators urged physicians to stop using power morcellators during hysterectomies due to its potential risk of spreading undetected malignancies. Colleen Daley's sister Patricia lost her life to leiomyosarcoma that spread after she underwent morcellation treatment."
