Take your power and your health back with this comprehensive, inclusive and accessible guide to uterine health, and should you need it, hysterectomy. After years of dealing with pelvic pain--whether from fibroids, endometriosis, or another issue--your doctor has recommended a hysterectomy. Perhaps those are words you'd never thought you'd hear. Perhaps the suggestion is a relief; perhaps it brings up all sorts of concerns--questions about the surgical process, the recovery period, and even about your own mental health as you weigh your options. In this offering from board certified obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Kameelah Phillips, you'll find a comprehensive, evidenced-based, and empowering guide that you need to read before making a life-changing, irreversible decision about about your future health and well-being.

- A primer/refresher on the female anatomy--something many women are out of touch with
- Insights into the origins of the hysterectomy procedure, and the ripple effect it continues to have
- The various conditions (fibroids, endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy, cancer, and other ailments) that may lead to hysterectomy
- Finding balance between holistic & non-surgical options alongside medical management
- Advice for gender-affirming hysterectomy
- A complete guide to the surgical and recovery process
You don't have to make this decision alone! With
The Empowered Hysterectomy, you can come to the table prepared and informed about your body and your choices and avoid potential pitfalls in the doctor-patient conversation around treatment options.
