A Resource About Hysterectomy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When deciding upon any type of medical care, a full understanding of the
"why's" and "wherefore's" is the best assurance of a proper decision. Since
hysterectomy leads the list of frequently performed surgical procedures, many
women face this decision each year. Often they must do so without the
information that is necessary for a proper judgment. No longer! The New York
State Department of Health, in cooperation with a number of consumer groups
and professional medical organizations, has prepared the ultimate education
booklet on the subject. In its 15 pages the reasons, benefits and risks, as
well as descriptions of the different types of operation are discussed,
accompanied by simple illustrations that help make the explanations totally
understandable. You may get your copy of "Hysterectomy" by writing to
Publications, New York State Department of Health, P.O. Box 2000, Albany, NY
12220.
