 Excellent reference for women and their physicians as well! August 19, 2004
5 out of 5 found this comment useful.
The V Book, by Elizabeth Stewart, is an excellent reference for women and their physicians on a multitude of problems that might arise in the vulvovaginal area. I recommend this book to every woman with chronic vulvovaginal symptoms, including all my vulvodynia patients, and to every physician caring for women as well. The feedback I've received from my patients who have read this book is excellent.

What your doctor/school/mother didn't tell you about YOU January 27, 2004

Ladies, this book 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 -- as another reviewer suggested -- 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.

This is a wonderful book. It is good kept as a reference guide, and can help a woman find a starting point of where to talk to her doctor as well as her partner.
The V book delves into information that medical guides only brush the surface of. In my opinion, it is a book all women should have or have access to.
Every Woman Should Own This Book! May 7, 2003

After two months of agony and several incorrect diagnoses, I was correctly diagnosed with a "V" 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 this book--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.
Excellent Overview April 5, 2003

Very engrossing, thorough book, I was compelled to read it all the way through, fascinated. It is very well written. As a person who has dealt with V pain for 6 years, I was happy to read Elizabeth's details about the neurological connection (p. 299), a conclusion I came to (less scientifically) after successful photonic treatment (Bales Scientific) calmed my V nerves non-invasively. The Low Oxalate diet never did a thing for me. It is mentioned along with many other suggestions. I applaud more such books being written, and an eventual update of this book (the information in here on HRT is already out of date as more recent studies indicate).
