Sex, Lies and Secrecy: Dissecting Hysterectomy

More Views

Some medical experts claim that a shocking 98% of hysterectomies are unnecessary. Yet half the women in North America will have had their ovaries removed by the time they are 65. After surgery, almost half of the women experience digestive problems, incontinence, depression, memory loss and decreased sexual drive. Yet there are less invasive — but pricier — procedures available. Participating in the documentary are internationally renowned scientists and physicians, including Toronto surgeon Dr. Nick Leyland who specializes in non-evasive alternatives, and Lise Cloutier-Steele, the author of Misinformed Consent.
