Uterus: Needs timely H'pathic Help

Latin Uterus and Greek Uterus are both traceable to Sanskrit Ud-aram-the belly, Ud Meaning out. Hence the terms Sahodaz (born of the same uterus, hence close sibling) and Damodar.
For long 2000 years, this marvelous creation of nature got linked with hysteria, literally meaning a uterine condition, but implying neurosis, anxiety, (epileptic) fit, and / or mania.
The ancients Greek believed that the nervous symptoms were due to the uterus and were thus observed only in women. Plato and his followers described the uterus as an animal endowed with spontaneous sensation and motion, lodged in a woman, and violently desiring to produce children. If it remained sterile long after puberty, it become indignant, dissatisfied and ill-tempered and caused general disturbances of the body until it became pregnant, when it became normal again. From the time of Hippocrates (460 BC) until the 18th century (and in India, even today) the concept that hysteria was due to an abnormal (non-pregnant) uterus was not seriously challenged!!!
So folks, the current population crisis, out of the general synonymy of copulation with population, is attributable to the Greek masters and fully adapted by China, India and others to convert man, in the words of Julian Huxley, into "the cancer of the planet Earth". The human cancer and its wild spread continues to be in full swing.
A respected medical encyclopedia provides the basis for hysteretonomy being the most widely practiced surgery the world over. "Since the uterus has no function but child bearing, its removal for certain disorders does not affect general health."
The foregoing is classical example of modern medicine's arrogance. The uterus is an endocrine organ throughout life and a baby maker only occasionally. Its senseless removal is fraught with numerous problems that women have silently put up with. The genital (from Skt. Janani=mother) area is fundamentally (pun intended) a pleasurable erotic zone that has nothing to do with the compulsion of begetting children. Just as tonsillectomies, appendectomies and gastronomies are on their way out, hysterectomy will turn into a thing of the past, a task that the Hahnemannians should undertake with a sense of clarity and mission.
The commonest reasons for which a lady is diverted of her uterus (along with the two precious ovaries) are menstrual disorders, fibroids and malignancy. Menstrual disorders can be managed by reassurance and healthy life style, helped by Homoeopathy. For cancer, hysterectomy is usually counterproductive, the cancer be endometrial or cervical. It must be resorted to only as a debulking and palliative procedure. Fibroids are largely silent, can be carried to the grave and hence can be left alone. Large fibroids can be enucleated, leaving the uterus intact.
This little piece is strongly in favour of H'pathy running to the rescue of women towards preserving their hysterical state intact. Down with hysterectomy and up with Homoeopathy. In passing it must be mentioned, that the uterine musculature gets enlarged 33 times during pregnancy (from 30 gms to and 1000 gms) and manages to exact a power that no other muscle including the gluteus maximus dare exert. Women of the world, prick over the fact that you can develop a muscle that can beat any muscle of Arnold Schawarzzaneger, in the game of exerting sheer power.
Long live Hysterus through timely intervention of Hahnemannian genius.
