New Links!

We've got new links over there towards the bottom of the right sidebar. I thought I'd explain why I wanted them there:

HysterSisters (http://www.hystersisters.com/) - woman-to-woman online support for those considering or going through a hysterectomy. It's a great place to go and ask all those nagging questions even before you have a hysterectomy. Don't be shy, they hear it all over there, questions about sex and orgasms, bowel and bladder difficulties, what to put on your incision and what to eat and what to avoid before surgery.

Pelvic Floor (http://www.pelvicfloor.com/) - information source about gynecological anatomy with lots of (graphic) photos. There's a great section in the fibroids area of a woman who had a HUGE fibroid removed.

Myomectomy (http://www.myomectomy.net/) - a promotional site for Dr. Paul Indman, but it has great info about all the different procedures and photos. I know it's a commercial site, but he does have some great resource info. I'm not necessarily recommending him as a doctor, but it's a good place to start to find out what your options for myomectomy are.

Fibroids (http://www.fibroids.uk.net/about.htm) - UK site that has great basic info about fibroids as well as other uterine disorders. I liked the sidebar called "medical notes" which explains all those things about how big a uterus should be and the comparisons to fruits. There are also movies of operations for those who are not squeamish.

Don't forget if you're looking for more info about fibroids or myomectomy or hysterectomy to just try google searches and start reading. Don't take any one source on the internet as gospel, of course, but there's lots of great info out there to help you make decisions about your health care.

Any questions or feedback? Feel free to email me.
