I thought things had changed since I was young, having female problems, but apparently, they, or rather, shall I say, the doctors, have not. I was gypped into having a radical surgery years ago, that could have been taken care of, without robbing me of my ability to have more children, and now, I have found out that my niece is about to undergo something similar,and I know she hasn't been told the truth! If she had, she wouldn't have this la-de-dah, it's no big deal attitude! My sister told me about it a couple of days ago, and I hit the ceiling! I am so frightened for my niece, I just have to write to her and warn her to get a second opinion. In this day and age, there is no excuse for a doctor, male or female to side-step the emotional , mental, and physical aspects of a patient undergoing surgical procedures that will impact their hormones! I am certain that whomever this doctor is, he or she said nothing about the possible consequences of this procedure,because my niece is a very intelligent, attractive relatively young woman, who has not yet found Mr. Right,and hasn't used her...equipment. It would be a travesty of the highest order for her to do away with any possibility of having children, just because this doctor would rather slice and dice, rather than find other options to treat her problem. Understand me now, If this is her choice, and she doesn't find it repellent to end up childless, I have no problem with that. Not all women are cut out to be mothers, as we all know.However, I really don't think that is the case.When Yon son was born, she was about 4 years old,and she became so attached to him, she just mothered him all the time,and they had a very special connection all through school.So, how does a young woman still of child bearing age, just throw away any hope of having children under those circumstances? One wonders.She has a good job, with an excellent income, so why did she buy a house, if she never plans to have kids?
Personally, I think it all goes back to the snow-job she got from her doctor, and how much more money he will make from surgery, rather than medical treatment, which would involve medicine and tests.
Update. Now, I have to contradict myself.I have just been in contact with my niece,and it appears that there was a great deal of information left out of my conversation with my sister. I mean, A LOT! It seems this problem goes back years,unbeknownest to me,which her mother certainly should have known about, and I didn't, and she neglected to tell me a multitude of important aspects of the circumstances surrounding this major situation.Instead, she told me just enough to get me all upset and excited,and then gave me my niece's new address.Well, that is tantamount to winding up a top ,and setting it loose.But, now that I know the true facts of the situation, my dear niece gets my full support.Sorry sis! That's just the way life is sometimes-and our kids have to live their own lives,regardless of whether we like it or not!
OUI?
