Hysterectomy
A hysterectomy causes the female body to become
immediately menopausal.
According to Dr. Stanley West, Chief Endocrinologists at St. Vincent's Hospital
in New York, U.S., 90% of the hysterectomies performed in the United States each
year are unnecessary surgery. According to Dr. John Lee those women who are told
that they have "pre-cancerous" cells after a gynecological exam, need only
supplement with a properly formulated natural progesterone cream and implement
the known dietary/lifestyle modifications, and the so called
"pre-cancerous" cells will
diminish along with the need for surgery.
The standard medical decision, however, is to perform a hysterectomy and to give
women estrogen replacement therapy, in spite of the fact that 75% of patients
still make sufficient amounts of estrogen. This can be verified by a saliva hormone
test which measures available levels of estrogen and is more meaningful than a
blood test.
After surgery hormone production does not cease, as estrogen and progesterone
should still be made by the adrenals & fat cells. The importance of proper balance
of these two hormones is more critical at this time due to the fact that progesterone
plays a critical supportive role in bone building (Osteoblast Cells), stroke
prevention and a health heart.
Since the female body makes natural estrogen from natural progesterone, most
women need only supplement with a properly formulated natural progesterone cream.
Some women, however, do not readily make this conversion and may temporarily need
supplemental estrogen or may implement a diet that is rich in phyto-estrogens and
contains sufficient amounts of fiber.
For the women who need supplemental estrogen due to continued hot flashes, night
sweats, and vaginal dryness, a natural estriol cream is a safe and effective
treatment.
So, for menopause, whether surgically induced or not, Dr. Lee states in his book,
"Adding progesterone will actively increase bone mass and density and can reverse
osteoporosis."
Natural progesterone offers many other benefits for women who have had a
hysterectomy and they are listed Here.
