Blog Exposes Information Minefield At UPMC

Top Quote One of the most frequently asked questions at HERS is, “How do doctors get away with removing the female organs from more than 600,000 American women each year without informing them of the consequences?” The answer is complex, but the responsibility largely falls on doctors, medical schools, and hospitals.

  • (1888PressRelease) January 04, 2008 - A prominent Blog is ringing in the New Year with an alarm it hopes will break the sound barrier between medical myths and women’s lives. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s (UPMC) website says that “orgasm will return to normal” after hysterectomy, but they then contradict themselves by admitting that the uterine contractions that occur during orgasm cannot occur when the uterus is removed.

    One statement is true and the other is false, but UPMC publishes both.

    Visit HERS Blog at http://hysterectomyinformation.blogspot.com/ for the complete discussion about the hysterectomy “Patient Education Materials” and “Procedure & Surgery Fact Sheets” published on UPMC’s website.
