In fact, Holly wrote this book about hysterectomy alternatives because she wanted other women to benefit from her struggle to find an alternative to hysterectomy. Alternatives to hysterectomy are not easy to find yet The UnHysterectomy, which is part self-help, part investigative journalism, reveals at least 10 hysterectomy alternatives and the shocking truth about why 650,000 North American women undergo hysterectomy every year when alternatives to hysterectomy exist for conditions like heavy menstrual bleeding, excessive menstrual bleeding, fibroids and endometriosis. Holly avoided a hysterectomy by doing her homework and looking for a surgeon who could solve her heavy menstrual bleeding without removing her uterus. Under the editorial guidance of her own gynecologist, Dr. Sony Singh, Holly has created an insightful, empowering, step-by-step roadmap for women seeking relief from excessive menstrual bleeding.

I'm so sorry for the title of this book. I had passed over it again and again because I knew I WANTED a hysterectomy. If it hadn't been for this book and the motivation it provided.. I would have lost my husband and a 3rd job due to "Flooding." Yes I know all types of people will read this review, men and women, and I honestly don't care. Flooding is flooding and if you don't know what I am talking about than this book isn't for you. Thank you Holly... you saved my life.
I am a 47-year-old female going through menopause. I have been having problems with my menstrual cycle. I figured I was going through "the change." Periods scattered all over the place that last up to eight days. Every month I suffer from painful, extremely heavy periods with large clots. I wanted to see if this was "normal" so I picked up this book, The Unhysterectomy: Solving Your Painful, Heavy Bleeding Without Major Surgery.At first I thought the book would be boring and filled with medical terms that I would not understand. I was pleasantly surprised that it immediately captured my attention! The author, Holly Bridges, writes so well you feel as if you are talking to her face to face. She uses humor, interesting words, writes in terms that women can understand and has extensively done her research. I like the fact that she states "every word in this book has been reviewed for accuracy by medical contributors" which include doctors, most specifically Sony S. Singh, MD, Ob-Gyn.The author shares her interesting story and she does not give up. Other women share their personal stories as well. (You may see yourself in one or more of these stories.) She encourages women to get the help they need from physicians to help solve their female problems without drastic surgery.I highly recommend The Unhysterectomy: Solving Your Painful, Heavy Bleeding Without Major Surgery to each and every woman. Empower yourself with the knowledge that surgery is not the last resort. In your lifetime if you do not experience these painful problems, you are sure to have a close person in your life that will need your help with regards to this subject. You can share the information you have learned from this book with her. Even better, you can suggest this extremely helpful book to her.
The title sounds like "Anti-Hysterectomy" but the book is nice and unbiased, and is for hysterectomies with a true medical need and a truly informed consent. Knowing what's going on for the treatment of heavy bleeding is helpful personally, but it's also an issue for every woman so we can organize solidarity as vulnerable patients in the medical arena or in any other setting. Thank you so much for writing this book!
A real wealth of info. There are more to hysterectomies than you likely know. If you are considering one there are many other options and this book looks at them all. Added resources for further research. Minimally invasive methods for Fibroids and Endometriosis are out there before you decide on major surgery.
Holly has put her professional reporting skills to work as she unearths very viable options for women facing painful bleeding and the specter of hysterectomy. I like the balanced perspective this book offers of various options -- she's not saying "never" to hysterectomy, just that there are many other, less invasive procedures to be considered firstly, before a decision is made. This book changes lives... it could be YOURS.
This is a great resource for any woman going through perimenopause. It's been a book I turn to again and again. It contains information that is not commonly written about, yet the experiences within are so commonly experienced by women approaching menopause.I'm facing a decision about hysterectomy, and this book has helped empower me. I now know that so much of what I've been going through is normal for a woman in perimenopause. I never would have known, even from talking to doctors, that my experience is not only normal but shared by many, many other women in my age group.Thank you to Holly Bridges for writing this book. I hope it helps many other women.
This book is such a great read for any women, but especially those who have struggled with female issues. I myself have struggled with adenomyosis. I went to four doctors within an 8 month period and they all said something different. I finally found a specialist to help me. But, every single one of them recommended a hysterectomy. I am not a fan of having surgery, so I was happy this book came along. It reaffirmed my decision not to have a hysterectomy. Read this book. You won't be disappointed.
