My Hysterectomy Experience.com

After my doctor recommended I have a hysterectomy I embarked on a journey to
find all the information available on the subject.

I found that many women do not like to reveal they have had a hysterectomy.
It seems as if it's a taboo subject. Perhaps this is because it's such a personal surgery and many people (both male and female) think a woman is less
feminine after a hysterectomy - which of course is untrue.
