The UnHysterectomy: Solving Your Painful, Heavy Bleeding Without Major Surgery

by. amazon.com

In 2007, Holly Bridges was an exhausted single mother with an embarrassing secret, one she concealed with dark clothes, taped-together pads and yes, sometimes, even diapers. Doctors said hysterectomy was her only option.

After the tragic death of her sister just three weeks before her surgery, Holly declared war on her heavy periods and searched for a less risky, less painful solution.

She found one, at the hands of Dr. Sony Singh, a renowned gynecologist who had just set up practice in her own hometown. Today, Holly is pain-free and period-free, with her uterus still intact.

Together, Holly Bridges and Dr. Singh have created an empowering, informative guide for women who are desperate to solve their heavy periods without major surgery. "Your book was a godsend.

Because of what I learned, I was able to march into my gynecologist's office and demand one of the hysterectomy alternatives you describe. Now my periods are manageable and I can still have children. Why didn't my doctor tell me about all these options?"

Be Heavy and Irregular Menstruation Free

by. amazon.com

Heavy menstrual flow affects millions of women at different times in their lives, especially in the menopause transition (premenopause) but also during women’s active reproductive years. Abnormal bleeding or spotting can even occur in the menopause due to cancer or abnormal growth of the uterine lining.

Other common causes include premenopause, endometrial hyperplasia, uterine cancer, fibroid tumors and endometriosis.

In Be Heavy and Irregular Menstruation Free! Susan M. Lark M.D. not only discusses the causes, symptoms, and diagnoses of heavy and irregular bleeding but shares with the reader her powerful patient tested, all natural treatment program designed to heal this issue.

Each year 650,000 women in the United States undergo hysterectomies, many due to heavy menstrual bleeding. While some women clearly need this procedure, a large percentage of women could totally avoid surgery if the underlying causes of the problems were treated.

According to Dr. Lark, “I have found that many women can prevent, or at least minimize, heavy and irregular menstruation through powerful alternative therapies. In Be Heavy and Irregular Menstruation Free!, I share with you the very effective and successful all natural treatment program that I developed for my patients.

In my book, I discuss the causes and symptoms of this health condition as well as how to diagnose heavy and irregular menstruation medically. I also provide you with a very useful self-evaluation workbook to help you assess your condition, risk factors and track your progress.

I have counseled my patients as to the most effective diet, nutritional supplements, stress management and exercise routines to control and heal from this issue. I have developed recipes, meal plans, and menus as well as meditations, stress reduction therapies and even a powerful and enjoyable stretching program customized to help promote hormone balance and healthy menstruation. I share this extremely valuable and beneficial information with you in this book.

Finally, in Be Heavy and Irregular Menstruation Free!, I discuss the medical options including hormonal, drug and surgical therapies, their pros and cons. Many of my patients have been able to avoid using uncomfortable drugs and, even, hysterectomy with my program.”
