THE H WORD discusses the common reasons hysterectomy is recommended, the diagnostic studies that should be performed to obtain a diagnosis, alternatives in treatment, and strategies to help women cope with the lifelong aftereffects of removal of the uterus and ovaries. It revolutionizes our understanding of female anatomy and the important lifelong functions of the female organs, while revealing a solution to the complex problem of hysterectomy performed without the information that is necessary for informed consent. The HERS Foundations 51-city, 51-week Protest & Play tour provides the backdrop for THE H WORD, which takes an unflinching look at the environment of hysterectomy in America. THE H WORD empowers women with information that gynecology doesnt want you to know about 100 years of hysterectomy in America, as experienced by women in every state of the country.
