The V Book: A Doctor's Guide to Complete Vulvovaginal Health By Dr Elizabeth G. Stewart MD And Paula Spencer
In The V Book: A Doctor's Guide to Complete Vulvovaginal Health you will learn the basics of vulvovaginal health such as how your vulvovaginal concerns change throughout your lifetime, how to pick a good gynecologist, and the dos and don't' of vulvovaginal hygiene. As well you'll learn the safest use of tampons and pads, how to handle common V symptoms such as itching and redness, self-diagnosis and treatment of infections, tips for safe and pleasurable sex, and much more.
For many women and their partners, "down there" is terra incognita, unlike the more obvious penis and testicles of men. How many women know the correct terms for the component parts of female genitalia and what itching, pain, or discharge may mean? How many dare get medical treatment for discomfort? Stewart and Spencer's guide covers it all in friendly lay language:
|
1
|
vulvovaginal anatomy and functions,
|
|
2
|
changes through the life cycle,
|
|
4
|
sexual issues affecting the "Vs" (vulvovaginal area),
|
|
7
|
and 13 chapters for specific problems.

Stewart is a clinical gynecologist and medical school instructor with over 20 years' experience, 12 specializing in vulvovaginal care; Spencer is a journalist focusing on women's and family issues. This is an excellent book and a first on the subject, with good illustrations, a resource list, charts, tables, and sidebars. Say the authors, "Your private parts shouldn't be private to you." Highly recommended; a good complementary work is Rebecca Chalker's The Clitoral Truth, with extensive details about that structure in the vulva perhaps least incognita. Martha Cornog, Philadelphia
With Paula Spencer's help in the writing, gynecologist Elizabeth G. Stewart's practical guide to the vaginal region first describes the historical development of knowledge about the vulvovaginal area and, aided by occasionally striking illustrations, considers its anatomy and physiology at length. Stewart explains routine vaginal care and hygiene as well as changes to expect with aging. She urges women to "loosen up" in terms of clothing and psychology, and she stresses how important precise language is to a woman's knowledge of V-area health and to meaningful communication with doctors. She either clarifies or explodes some myths, gives substantial consideration to sex matters, and explores minor as well as major symptoms of trouble in the area. Her discussion of cancer and precancer conditions is realistic, and her advice for selecting and communicating well with a gynecologist is painstaking. The medical references she includes are meant to open and inform both physicians' and patients' minds.
“Ladies, The V Book: A Doctor's Guide to Complete Vulvovaginal Health is excellent reading for every one of us. Written by a doctor who is not only a gynecologist but also that rare breed, the vulvovaginal specialist, it is the owner's manual for everyone with a vulva, vestibule, and vagina. If you're not sure exactly what I mean by those last three terms, you need to find out, and Dr. Elizabeth Stewart -- the author of this book -- is the one to tell you. Not only does Dr. Stewart cover what we've got, why we shouldn't be ashamed of it, and how it works, she gives in-depth, readable information on vulvovaginal infections, imbalances, and other problems, tells you how they can be treated, and enumerates interactions and complications for women with special needs (i.e. they're pregnant, HIV positive, etc.) She separates myths from facts and has the data and experience to prove what she says. She also goes over the ideal visit to your GYN, and lets you know what questions you should ask, what tests you should request when, and how to choose the best clinician to meet your needs. All in all, this book is not only excellent but ESSENTIAL to a woman's library. It's light, clear reading, and it may be the most empowering book you read all year.”
“After two months of agony and several incorrect diagnoses, I was correctly diagnosed with a vaginal disorder and referred to the medical library in our town to look up my condition. They gave me this book, and at last, I understand what I have been going through and why. I am buying a copy of this book for myself and for each of my daughters-in-law. Every female should own The V Book: A Doctor's Guide to Complete Vulvovaginal Health -- no woman should suffer in silence or be ashamed of this part of her body. And none of us should be subjected to continued misdiagnoses any longer. This book provides the information we need to help us lead healthier, happier lives and to be active, educated participants in our own health care. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It could literally be a life-saver for some women who have nowhere else to turn for answers.”
“I purchased The V Book: A Doctor's Guide to Complete Vulvovaginal Health 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.”
“OK, This is a very private thing for most women - so when you hear your Dr say you have something and you just dont feel like surfing the internet in the hopes of getting comprehensive information and not a lot of blogs and trying to figure out if the person is qualified to write that stuff - well don’t waste your time and just get The V Book: A Doctor's Guide to Complete Vulvovaginal Health. It's long but in reality you can go through it in a night or two because you will know what you are looking for but you can be assured that it will be there for any other issues. It's comprehensive, pictures to help with the understanding of terms, treatment options, etc. I am not going to be into specifics. Just know that you will NOT need another book about v issues after this one (VVD, VBS, menopause, and a ton more...yeast infections, UTI, all type of other infections, bumps...just know it's in there).”
