 Strongly recommended reading for the woman who wants to know all she can before making a decision Feb 08, 2010
By Midwest Book Review
It's a major change in a woman's life to lose the ability to give birth. "The H Word" discusses the hysterectomy and the details surrounding it. Nora W. Coffey & Rich Schweikert seek to arm women with knowledge about the procedure and encourage them to understand when it is truly necessary by discussing symptoms, viable alternatives to the procedure, and giving solid advice in understanding the after-effects. "The H Word" is strongly recommended reading for the woman who wants to know all she can before making a decision.

The H Word May 23, 2009
By Ms. C. V. Saunders
Absolutely essential reading for any woman contemplating the surgical amputation of her female organs. I wish I had read it before I was manipulated into consenting to an unnecessary hysterectomy and unilateral castration.

This book is amazing. Apr 10, 2009
By Denise Cleveland
I like how it goes into every state of the country. I should've read this years ago, and then I wouldn't have all the problems I'm having now.

A book long overdue...... Apr 14, 2009
By a reader
The H Word takes a hard look at the complexities surrounding hysterectomy and expertly depicts, where women's health is concerned, all roads may lead to unnecessary, unconsented, and unwarranted surgery. The H word challenges all women and men to put an end to the deception that has enabled this practice for the past 100 years.
After reading this book, or even if one reads the first few chapters, you will find this book honors the many forgotten generations of women, lives lost at the alter of the surgical procedure hysterectomy, it sheds light on the many consequences experienced by the 22 million women currently living post-surgery, clarifies the issues the vast number of women given a recommendation for hysterectomy today need to know, and it serves as a warning for future generations. This revolutionary book attempts to shed light on female anatomical facts, true informed consent, and the undeniable right of choice. With the backdrop of the year-long Protest and Play, it explains the permanent and devastating consequences of the H word on women, men, their families, and society at large.
The H word is the only book that cuts to the heart of the supposedly "hysterectomy controversy" which in actuality is the marketing of hysterectomy. The H word explains:
- the anatomical and functional necessity of the uterus for the health of a women her entire life
- the fact that, unless the necessity of the uterus and the consequences of its removal, are explained pre-surgery, one cannot have informed consent
- no amount of technological advances to remove the uterus change the necessity of the uterus
- the consequences of removing the uterus has numerous expected and far-reaching results, as the medical community redefine the being of a woman
Per the H word: The internal female genital organs have lifelong functions that can never be replaced. There is never an age or a time in a woman's life when her uterus and ovaries are not essential to her health and well-being.

I'm glad I found this book. Apr 10, 2009
By Ellen Steinhart
I'm so glad I found this book. It may have saved my life and my marriage. My poor husband. He feels terrible because he blamed me because I changed so much. We had really had a great sex life before, it was a big part of our intimacy, but that's gone since the surgery. I lost all sexual feeling. We went to so many doctors, and they all said there was nothing wrong with me, they gave me antidepressants. Some said it was in my head. One said he never heard anything like that, all the women he did hysterectomies on are happy.
But we're grateful to know the truth. It's sad, what this surgery did to me and my family. Women need this book to understand how important the uterus and ovaries are. I thought I knew a lot about my body before the hysterectomy, but I'm embarrassed to say that I realize now that I didn't know very much at all.
