Considering a hysterectomy? Types, Reasons, Risks and Burning Questions Answered!

I hear you! πŸ‘‚πŸ‘‚πŸ‘‚


You want more episodes on women's health. Today and next week will not disappoint if you have a hysterectomy on your radar (or have recently had one).


Erika Rucker, who is a Physician's Assistant with the world-renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center, is here to educate us on different types of hysterectomies, reasons for needing them, the impact on hormones and body composition, and what kinds of questions to discuss with your provider.


This is not a cancer-focused conversation at all, so if you've been wondering if a hysterectomy is right for you or your medical provider has suggested it, this is a must listen.


We discuss:

➑️ The reasons for needing a hysterectomy

➑️ What kind of questions to ask your medical provider when deciding if a hysterectomy is right for you

➑️ Speaking with your provider about sexual dysfunction after hysterectomy
