19th century female orgasms

[LMSx]

I asked my mom, whose had a hysterectomy, and she chose the squished together option. Her understanding is basically that the uterus was similar to a deflated balloon, so the body just filled the space relatively easily.

When they remove a kidney, the person doesn't walk around for the rest of his life with a gaping cavity. All of your organs are squishy, and the space gets filled.

Although I hear now there's a way to have it removed without cutting the abdominal wall, by pulling it out of the vagina.

Yeah, this is what my mother had done. She was actually back at work within a week, I think, though she still wasn't able to do any heavy lifting or drumming for a while.

Oh fuck, that's terrible! I felt a little sick after reading this.

The medical profession has treated women like shit for a long time. Some 40% of unnecessary hysterectomies are done because of fibroids; imagine if your doctor told you that because you had a non-cancerous growth on one of your testicles, he would cut off your entire nutsack. Or better yet, imagine if a doctor had cut off the nutsacks of more than a dozen men for no medical reason at all, and was not charged with anything.

You know, my mother got the same spiel from her doctor. She had fibrosis cysts on her ovaries, too, and that caused increased bleeding during periods.

The doctor, I shit you not, said to her:

"We'll just cut this sack out ; It's not like you need it anymore."

Yes, an actual doctor said that. After all, hey, it's no problem, right?

Mom chose to tough it out, and miraculously enough, the cysts shrunk and disappeared, and the bleeding stopped.

Oh fuck, that's terrible! I felt a little sick after reading this. Sad

It's actually not - it's far less invasive than a full-fledged surgery, there's less risk of complications and the patient heals quicker.

It's creepy and often completely unnecessary, but not actually terrible. They're doing a lot of things this way nowadays - like appendixes. There's a novel procedure which lets them remove your appendix with only a tiny hole made in you abdomen through which they insert the camera and an endoscopic tool-arm. The cut appendix is then removed through your mouth.

EDIT: By the way, we owe "female hysteria" to those wonderful progressive Greeks. Check out what Plato thought about the uterus.

ughh... at least your nutsack doesn't leave a hole when its removed (well except in your heart). What the hell happens if you get an operation like that, does everything kind-of ...squeeze together... and fill up the void where one of your internal organs used to be?

Good question. I don't know.
It sits on top of the intestines, and there's really no other organs in the same place to move about. Since they have to cut muscle and tendons to remove it, I'm sure there's some things that get out of place as you're healing...

Don't you know, the pink foam that fills the female cavities slowly expands when the uterus is removed? It's sort of like Fix-a-Flat for women!

This, obviously, if you are young enough and the proliferation speed of your connective tissue is still decent. Operating uterine prolapse in a old woman can be particularly dangerous, since the empty space left is comparatively big.

That sounds great in theory, but have you ever talked to actual doctors about this procedure? They may downplay its risks in public, but it's nerve-wracking and difficult. They snake tools and a little camera into your body and try to do the operation, essentially by remote control. One doctor described it to me by saying "imagine trying to use six foot long tweezers while looking through binoculars".

As I've said many times in the past, any operation where a body part is cut or altered unnecessarily is unnecessary. From nosejobs to stomach staplings to circumcisions to periscope diving for appendixes. With all the dangers of nosocomial infections, complications, and even the mere act of paying for the op... It's totally pointless and risky unless you really really do need it!

The hospital is not an auto-garage where you can rice up your body.

I guess there's doctors who love it and those who hate in ; I heard the exact opposite about those kind of surgeries

Novel thought: with advancement in computer technology, I wonder if it's possible to automate such routine procedures completely?

Are you sure about this? I can't imagine why anyone would actually perform such a procedure. For starters, you would need a pretty damn long endoscope to weave through the 7 or so meters of small intestine before reaching the appendix. As far as I know, what they often do now is remove the appendix directly from the abdomen laparoscopically through a small hole, such as through the belly button, and that's it.

Hmm...it may be like that, yeah. It was an orifice or a small hole
