An exciting new approach to regaining health without surgery! Fact: By the time they reach menopause forty percent of American women have at least one uterine fibroid; 600,000 women are diagnosed each year. Fact: Fibroids are the leading cause of hysterectomy, the second most common surgical procedure performed on women. Fact: Natural, holistic medicine can heal fibroids without invasive surgery. Fibroid tumors, while usually benign, can swell a woman's uterus to the size of a basketball, frequently causing heavy menstrual bleeding, cramping, bladder infections, and even infertility. Most doctors recommend surgery as the only answer. Now this innovative holistic program brings new hope for a surgery-free life to millions of American women. Dr. Allan Warshowsky combines traditional Western medicine and holistic science to cure not just the fibroid condition but also the underlying imbalances and systemic dysfunctions that can cause fibroids. With an exciting program of diet, exercise, supplements, herbs, and mind/spirit work, Dr. Warshowsky shows fibroid sufferers how to become the strong, healthy women they deserve to be.

Though an estimated eight in ten women in America will be diagnosed with fibroids during their lifetime, it remains one of the most ambiguous conditions a woman can have. In the tradition of the other titles in the First Year series, The First Year—Fibroids uses a unique approach, guiding readers through practical and straightforward steps for the first seven days following diagnosis, then the next three weeks of their first month, and finally the next eleven months of their first year. Throughout, author Johanna Skilling provides answers and advice that will help women newly diagnosed with fibroids come to terms with their condition and the lifestyle changes that accompany it. Skilling provides vital information about the different types of fibroids, treatment options, dietary choices, holistic alternatives, and much more. The First Year—Fibroids will be a wise and educational resource for every woman who wants to take an active role in the management of her fibroids.

The word “choice” in women’s health is synonymous with abortion. How to deal with an unwanted pregnancy has been the focal point of lengthy debates, psychological research, and significant policy changes. There is, however, another decision that hundreds of American women make every month but that is not recognized as an important health concern: the choice of whether or not to have a hysterectomy. Every year, 700,000 hysterectomies (surgeries to remove the uterus) are performed in the United States. The hysterectomy is the most frequently performed operation in the country, second only to the cesarean section. While advances in the medical field have made the experience more bearable in the last few years, it remains a major surgery with a long list of side effects and a heavy psychological burden. Many women report post-operative depression, bladder or bowel dysfunction, and decreased sexual interest. Women of childbearing age must cope with the reality of no longer being able to bear children, and for many patients the long recovery period interferes with their jobs and everyday activities. Still, the most disturbing fact is that of all these operations, only 15% are medically necessary. Of the 85% that could have been avoided, about 60% were performed because of fibroid growths in the uterus. These non-cancerous tumors develop in or around the uterine wall and are usually undetected until the patient begins to manifest typical symptoms. While 35% of all American women will develop fibroids at some point in their childbearing years, thoroughly checking for them is not part of a routine gynecological exam. The majority of women who have either large or numerous benign tumors in their uteruses are long unaware of it. The discovery of uterine fibroids is usually sudden and upsetting. Most women do not know that they are a common problem, and as a result are not prepared to deal with the situation. They know little about how fibroids behave, and even less about their treatment options. Most of the time, the doctors they consult will tell them that removal of the fibroids will only result in their growing back and further health complications. A hysterectomy seems at first to be the only alternative for completely resolving the problem and avoiding repetitious treatment. What many medical specialists fail to mention is that there are further alternatives. As a matter of fact, there are several. These other options are not only less invasive, but they are often less expensive, call for a shorter hospital stay, and in many cases do not require even partial removal of the uterus. The root of the problem is that many gynecologists adhere to the outmoded belief that the uterus is useless after childbearing age. Because most of the women are who are diagnosed with uterine fibroids are symptomatic (and by then nearing menopause), their doctors do not consider it a priority to preserve their reproductive systems at all cost. Another issue is that few gynecologists are well trained enough with the alternative procedures to hysterectomy to feel comfortable performing them themselves. These physicians spend more time performing unnecessary surgeries and less time mastering different techniques, all the while scaring their patients into a major operation. They avoid recommending procedures such as a myomectomy, opting instead to perform the more common hysterectomy “just to be safe.” The safest thing, however, is to select the correct treatment alternative, and preferably choose one that involves the least possible trauma to the mind and body. Lack of information and unnecessary surgery are cause enough for concern in the debate about hysterectomies. The problem runs even deeper, however. When a patient consents to having a procedure performed on her bod

This volume elucidates state-of-the-art findings of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis, incorporating expert basic knowledge. Uterine fibroids and adenomyosis are common uterine tumors in reproductive-age women. However, the pathogenesis of the tumors is still poorly understood, and both genetic and environmental factors may be involved in their generation or development. Recent research on the genomics and molecular biology of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis has facilitated a better understanding of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of these benign tumors. Renowned experts provide detailed discussions of basic research and clinical aspects of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis in this book, from histopathology and molecular pathogenesis to diagnosis and the latest treatment of uterine fibroids, including pregnancy complications of adenomyosis. A great deal of information and a deep understanding of molecular and genetic biology have led to development of more innovative treatments of these tumors. Thus this book benefits not only oncologists, seasoned gynecologists, and obstetricians, but also molecular biologists and other basic researchers who are involved in the treatment of uterine fibroids.

Lee and Watkinson's Techniques in Interventional Radiology series of handbooks describes in detail the various interventional radiology procedures and therapies that are in current practice. The series covers procedures in angioplasty and stenting, transcatheter embolization and therapy, biopsy and drainage, and ablation. Forthcoming are volumes on pediatric interventional radiology and neurointerventional radiology. Each book is laid out in bullet point format, so that the desired information can be located quickly and easily. Interventional radiologists at all stages, from trainees through to specialists, will find this book a valuable asset for their practice. Transcatheter Embolisation and Therapy approaches the procedure in two ways . Section I systematically describes the techniques of transcatheter embolization and addresses the issues surrounding embolization procedures. Section II presents specific organ systems and pathologies that undergo embolization therapy. Dr. David Kessel is a Consultant Radiologist at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals, UK, and Dr. Charles Ray, Jr. is Professor of Radiology and Co-Director of Research at the University of Colorado Denver Health Sciences Center, USA.
