Description
THE V ZONE addresses the difficult and embarrassing questions women often are unable to ask their own doctors. In non-threatening, easy to understand language, Colette Bouchez demystifies the newest, most important medical data and offers women a clear plan for dealing with the most common gynaecological complaints, including yeast infections, vaginal pain, rashes, urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted diseases. In addition to the traditional medical solutions offered, THE V ZONE also gives women natural and alternative solutions and helps readers navigate the wide array of over the counter treatments, indicating what's safe to use, what's not, when to self-treat, and when to seek professional care. Featuring sidebars from more than two dozen experts, THE V ZONE also offers readers the most definitive health data available on some of the most popular female health products on the market today, including menstrual aids, home test kits and douches. THE V ZONE is an invaluable contribution to the field of women's health, a resource millions of women will turn to for guidance in every day health matters, as well as for help in treating specific problems.
