I was given an unnecessary hysterectomy and castrated because of a benign ovarian cyst, even without my consent. It is hard to fathom that this happens in the U.S. until you read "The H Word". By reading it, I now understand what was done to me. The book talks about many of the health problems I now have which I never had before which most women seem to keep silent about. I am unable to become aroused or have any sexual feelings, and I've lost most of the feeling in my genitals. Why on earth is this being done to women? For the first time in three years after reading the book, I don't feel alone. Everyone in the world needs to read this book, and help stop this atrocity against women. It is very well written and done in the most interesting way, but describes the horrible truth that everyone needs to know. I am sure that gynecologists do not want anyone to see this. This book will save countless women.
