Osteoporosis and Heart Disease in Women

August 9, 2010 by alternativesurgery

Hysterectomy is one of the leading causes of Osteoporosis and Heart disease in women…this is why I advocate removing benign disease like fibroids and adenomyosis without removing the uterus. If you are currently suffering from osteo and/or have early signs of heart disease,medication may be necessary. However adding a good vitamin/ mineral supplement combined with a good balanced diet/exercise program may also be helpful. Calcium can be found in low fat dairy products and nonfat yogurts to reduce calcium loss and heart health can be improved with a good source of Omega 3 fatty acids found in salmon, tuna and macheral. Check your vitamin source for purity and quality and tailor your diet to help naturally fight your condition.

Endometrial Biopsy for Diagnosis???

March 30, 2010 by alternativesurgery

Endometrial biopsies are a fairly common minor procedure performed in many gyn offices when patients are experiencing heavy painful periods. The technique involves sticking a needle into the uterine lining to obtain a small tissue sample; it can be very painful and often produces inconclusive information.  Blind biopsies, via either needle or currette, can very easily completely miss the area in question, rendering an inaccurate outcome.  When dealing with fibroids and adenomyosis, biopsies of the lining do not render any information as to the make up of the tumors. The biopsy is strictly giving information about the uterine lining. The procedure is rather like sticking an needle in an orange to try to locate a seed…..probably not successful. If you have fibroids, or adenomyosis, taking a blind biopsy of endometrial tissue does not render a conclusive diagnosis about your disease….

Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Women

January 27, 2010 by alternativesurgery

We recently had a patient in the office who was diagnosed and treated 10 years ago for fibroid tumors and endometriosis. She had experienced early menopausal symptoms of hot flashes and mood swings. At that time her naturopath recommended a bio-identical estrogen supplement. She was told that hormone therapy would NOT have an effect on any possible remaining fibroids.  Sadly, this is not true. She now has a 7cm fibroid producing serious low back pain. IF you have any female disorder that requires estrogen to proliferate: fibroids, endometriosis, or adenomyosis, you run the risk of recurrent disease once you begin hormone supplementation.

Hysterectomy Side Effects

December 28, 2009 by alternativesurgery

As we approach the end of this decade, I am sad to report we are still performing almost 700,000 hysterectomies annually; 500,000 are for non-cancerous diseases like Fibroid Tumors, Endometriosis, and Adenomyosis. Many side effects associated with hysterectomy are  irreversible and/or negative like:  bladder incontinence, constipation, hormone imbalance and sexual dysfunction-no desire or feeling, as well as emotional and psychological damage. If you are interested in a holistic medical approach and want to keep your organs, please do your research. Our practice as been offering women a laser surgical holistic alternative to hysterectomy for over 15 years.  Do not agree to a surgery unless you know it is right for you…..

INFERTILITY and ADENOMYOSIS

October 8, 2009 by alternativesurgery

As previously posted, Adenomyosis is endometriosis in the uterine muscle or wall.  This is a benign or non-cancerous disease that spreads monthly with hormones. As adeno spreads is damages the uterus effecting the contractility of the cells…..as a result, many women experience miscarriage during the late first into second trimester. This damage to the organ is permanent…infertility is very common with adenomyosis, especially in advanced stages.  Although treatment can retard the spread of the disease, fertility cannot be returned.
