Product Description
The Groundbreaking Guide Every Woman Needs With The V Book, women will learn everything they need to know about the basics of vulvovaginal--or "V"--health, an essential yet often overlooked area of women's health. Dr. Elizabeth G. Stewart, the nation's foremost expert in vulvovaginal care and sexual-pain disorders, answers the questions about the all too common "V" ailments that women are embarrassed to discuss even with their doctors. Drawing upon the latest medical research and two decades of experience treating thousands of women in her specialized gynecological practice, Dr. Stewart has compiled a wealth of information and advice. This comprehensive and authoritative guide for women of all ages includes: * How your vulvovaginal concerns change throughout the life cycle, from your teens through menopause and beyond
* How to pick a good gynecologist, and how to ask the right questions
* Dos and don'ts of V hygiene--and why sometimes less is better
* The safest use of tampons, pads, and pantiliners
* How to handle common symptoms, such as redness, itching, dryness, and discharge
* Which medical tests you should insist upon from your doctor
* Tips for safe and pleasurable sex, and what to do when sexual intercourse is painful
* The latest research on vulvodynia, the vaginal pain syndrome that won't go away
* Diagnosing and treating yeast infections, allergies, and other ailments
* What to do if your doctor detects cancer or precancer cells And much, much more... "What a fabulous book! Every woman needs to know the clear and empowering information in The V Book." --Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause "The very book that we needed to shed light on the final unmentionables in women's health! The V Book dispels myths and misunderstandings in a friendly and accessible way and puts vital information in the hands of women who need it." --Susan M. Love, M.D., author of Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book and Dr. Susan Love's Hormone Book "Dr. Stewart is the right clinician to help advance our understanding of the health and problems of the vulva and vagina. I highly recommend The V Book for all women and all clinicians who care for women." --Robert L. Barbieri, M.D., Chairman, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School

 Excellent Book December 2, 2008
First, this text is an excellent reference tool for females AND males. Secondly, it's a friendly read. My friend was having "female" troubles. I believe that everything that is important to know is in this book. So I ordered it for her for Christmas! Boy, she'll be surprised. I may have some explaining to do, but it's worth it.
Excellent Resource! October 10, 2007

All women should have a copy of this book in their personal library. It really covers a great deal about our bodies, our cultural-thinking about our bodies, and how to take care of ourselves!

I purchased this book as my daughter was diagnosed with possible vulvodynia, which I had never heard of. My City's library does not even have one book on this subject! The book was recommended to me by a vulvar specialist at the University of Michigan. In the chapter on pain, Dr. Stewart provides all the latest information on this little known and understood syndrome of vulvodynia, including recommended treatment. I have not yet had an opportunity to read the remainder of the book, but look forward to doing so.
Yes - buy this book! April 15, 2007

I cannot praise this book enough. I have owned it for a couple months now and it is such a great reference tool. I wish I had known about this book years ago. I highly recommend buying this book if you can only buy one as I have read/owned/seen a handful of others and they do not compare.
This book's information is valuable April 2, 2007

This book was suggested by my healthcare specialist who correctly diagnosed my condition, but which had been overlooked by other specialists for decades. The information is important, essential, and presented without nonsense, about health issues which have caused misery for women for many years, but have never been acknowledged rightly. The author is conservative, and intelligent, personable and a pioneer in this field. I highly recommend this book for every woman.
