[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 462702, member: 1233"] As for the line that it should only be done when benefits outweigh the risks, that not only can be applied to every single bit of medical intervention/treatment, it [I][B]should[/B][/I] be applied. Medical science only really began looking at women as being different than men about twenty yrs ago. Most medical studies that do not deal directly with the reproductive system are done only on males. Rarely were women even considered as applicants, and even now, we know very little about the female body/brain because so many people in that profession bother to pay attention to the fact that women are quite different than men, esp in the brain and how we respond to things. in my opinion this is part of the "just take it out if it has a problem" mentality of many docs.
