A Moment for the Uterus
Your uterus: it’s not just for reproducing. In fact, the organ is an integral part of your pelvic anatomy, your sexual function, indeed your whole-body health, throughout your lifetime, according to this vivid tutorial created by the HERS Foundation (Hysterectomy Educational Resources and Services). Women who are weighing the risks and benefits of VBAC v. repeat cesarean (and even women considering a primary cesarean) should especially take a look, as hysterectomy — surgical removal of the uterus — becomes more of a risk with repeat surgical deliveries. Hysterectomy remains the second most common major surgery in the United States.
