Unnecessary Hysterectomies: A Surgeon's Wake-Up Call 👁️⚠️ | Interview with Dr. Bryan Treacy
Join *Carol Petersen* for an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Bryan Treacy, a retired OB/GYN and preventative medicine physician with 37+ years of clinical experience 🩺. Once a skilled surgeon who performed hundreds of hysterectomies, Dr. Treacy now advocates for hormone optimization, natural alternatives 🌿, and informed consent to prevent this staggering public health issue—600,000 hysterectomies annually in the US, often unnecessary and life-altering 💔.
They dive into why procedures like hysterectomies, oophorectomies, and tubal ligations are overused; the role of progesterone in managing bleeding, fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS, and even endometrial cancer; long-term risks like prolapse, accelerated aging, and sexual dysfunction; and post-surgery hormone recovery 💊. Backed by real patient stories 📖, historical insights, and practical advice 💡, this interview empowers women to explore options before the scalpel.
Whether you're facing heavy bleeding, PMDD, or fertility challenges 🤰, or just want to understand why "hysterectomy" isn't always the answer, this is essential viewing 👏. Resources: Check the HERS Foundation (hersfoundation.org) for hysterectomy alternatives and support 🏥.
