Hysterectomy & Informed Consent: What Doctors Don’t Always Tell You - Fempower Health | A Women's...

Did you know that many women undergo hysterectomies without fully understanding their options? Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgeries performed on women—but too often, patients aren’t given the full picture. From what should (and shouldn’t) be removed to the long-term effects on hormone balance and pelvic health, the lack of informed consent has lifelong consequences. In this episode, we break down: • The different types of hysterectomy and their impact on your body • How guidelines and reimbursement models influence surgical recommendations • Why pelvic physical therapy (PT) is critical but rarely recommended • The role of hormone therapy when ovaries are removed • Questions every woman should ask before considering surgery Why This Matters: Many women experience post-surgical complications like pelvic pain, incontinence, and sexual dysfunction—issues that could be prevented with better education and advocacy. Doctors don’t always tell you the full story, but you have the right to ask questions and make informed decisions about your body. Who Should Listen? This episode is for: • Women considering or recovering from hysterectomy • Healthcare professionals navigating patient advocacy • Startups and investors in women’s health, understanding systemic barriers • Anyone interested in how medical guidelines impact real-world healthcare To access the article on this topic, click here: https://fempowerhealth.beehiiv.com/p/... 🎧 Loved the episode?
