title: Men's views about hysterectomies and women who have them.
abstract: Men's (N = 25) views about the effects of hysterectomy on women and on their relationships with women they knew who had experienced hysterectomies were solicited by interviews. Many men were not knowledgeable about hysterectomy. They perceived negative psychological, social and sexual effects of hysterectomy on women; but they did not think hysterectomy affected their relationships with women. However, they also communicate very little with women or health care professionals about hysterectomy.
