On the day of your operation, you will be asked to put on a surgical gown.
You may receive a sedative by mouth and
an intravenous line may be put in.
You will then be transferred to the operating table.
To perform a D and C, your doctor needs unobstructed access to your uterus, so your feet will be raised, separated and placed in canvas slings – holding your legs in a position much like that position used during a routine gynecological exam.
To begin, the genital area is swabbed with an antiseptic solution …
… and sterile towels are draped around until only the vulva is exposed.
Then the surgeon will use a gloved hand to conduct a vaginal examination and will check the size and location of the uterus by pressing on your lower abdomen.
A metal or plastic vaginal speculum is used to gently expand the vagina and allow access to the cervix. Patient Education
Once the cervix is visible, a forcep is used to grasp the front lip of the cervix – causing the uterus to open a little.
Using a blunt-tipped probe, the surgeon carefully measures the length of the uterus and takes a small sample of tissue from the cervical canal.
Next, the surgeon will dilate, or open the cervix, using a series of progressively larger metal rods called dilators.
When the cervix has expanded sufficiently, the doctor will use a spoon-shaped instrument called a curette to gently scrape out the lining of the uterus. In some cases, surge
When the entire lining of the uterus has been removed, the instruments are withdrawn.
The tissue removed will then be sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Your gynecologist has recommended that you undergo surgery to remove vaginal fibroids. But what does that actually mean?

The uterus is part of a woman’s reproductive system – it’s the organ that contains and protects a growing fetus during pregnancy.

Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that grow from the inner or outer wall of the uterus. They are quite common – as many as 20% of women over 30 will develop fibroids sometime during their lifetimes.

In most cases fibroids do not cause any discomfort and are never detected. Occasionally, however, fibroid tumors can cause problems. Complications from fibroid growth can include:

* Pressure on the urinary system.
* Pressure on the intestines.
* Interference with the reproductive system
* Or infection.

Because these tumors can grow to be very large, surgery is usually recommended in order to restore health and to protect the uterus.

Most Astonishing Health Disaster of the 20th Century

For over 100 years conventional medicine has seized control of the US health care system and as a result we have over 800,000 people who are killed by interacting with this system. It is likely that over 50 million Americans have died prematurely from this abuse.

Obama’s Health Care Policy: Hitler’s T-4

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 07:10:12 +0000

The “health care reform” of President Barack Obama is an exact copy of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi T-4 board, set up to deny care and kill off undesired sections of the population. This policy must be stopped… even if that requires Obama’s impeachment for crimes against humanity.

McCain U: Don’t Get Sick

“Overall, the goal is not universal coverage, it’s cost containment,” Peter Harbage said while introducing McCain’s health care plan. Harbage, Health Care Policy Advisor at CAPAF, described how McCain’s plan would allow a $5,000 tax credit for families and $2,500 for individuals with which they could purchase private health insurance and establish health savings accounts.

Harbage noted, however, that the tax credit would grow at the rate of inflation, rather than at the higher rate of health care cost increases. He also said that McCain would allow the sale of health insurance across state lines. Currently, states regulate insurance within their borders.

Jeanne Lambrew, Senior Fellow at CAPAF, moderated the discussion on health care. Panelists included Karen Davenport, Director of Health Policy for CAPAF; Karen Pollitz, Director of the Health Policy Institute at Georgetown University; and Harbage, filling in for Elizabeth Edwards, also a Senior Fellow at CAPAF.

Pollitz set the framework for the discussion by arguing that a successful policy must make health care available, bring down costs, and provide adequate coverage, all the time. She noted that health care costs are unevenly distributed, and “the sickest 5 percent account for half of all spending.” Pollitz said that a competitive insurance industry will always try to limit insurance for people when they are sick, so “the only way to make a competitive insurance market cover people when they are sick is to regulate it.”

She criticized McCain’s health care plan for deregulating health care and removing tax credits for job-based coverage, although such coverage currently provides health insurance to many Americans. Pollitz further faulted McCain’s plan for allowing insurance companies to choose the state in which they are regulated, and therefore choose which set of regulations apply to them.

Panelists agreed with Davenport when she commented, …
