‘Just Get A Hysterectomy’
In the May issue of Health Affairs, Joyvina Evans of Howard University documents her experience as an African American woman with uterine fibroids ([link removed] ) .
During a routine follow-up appointment, her reproductive endocrinologist recommended that she “just get a hysterectomy” to address her recurring fibroids, despite her desire to preserve her fertility.
After finding a new provider, Evans learns that she has other options available and that a hysterectomy wouldn’t be the necessary route.
