The dangers that doctors do not tell you about fibroids and minimally invasive surgeries. What you should know.

Morcellation can be a Deadly Surgical Procedure

LMS Direct Research (http://www.lmsdr.org/uterinemorcellation.php)

Routine “standard of care” minimally invasive morcellation surgery for “presumed fibroids” may upstage ULMS from stage 1, with a possible cure, to an automatic deadly ULMS stage 4. LMSdr is committed to halt this faulty practice. Please help us with your voice against this unethical practice! Together we are stronger and can change the world for the better.
