The Vagina Bible
The Vagina Bible: The vulva and the vagina - separating the myth from the medicine | Dr. Jennifer Gunter
6 posts | 3 read | 9 to read
Does eating sugar cause yeast infections? Does pubic hair have a function? Should you have a vulvovaginal care regimen? Will your vagina shrivel up if you go without sex? What's the truth about the HPV vaccine? So many important questions, so much convincing, confusing, contradictory misinformation! In this age of click bait, pseudoscience, and celebrity-endorsed products, it's easy to be overwhelmed-whether it's websites, advice from well-meaning friends, uneducated partners, and even healthcare providers. So how do you separate facts from fiction? Obstetrician Jen Gunter, an expert on women's health-and the internet's most popular go-to doc-comes to the rescue with a book that debunks the myths and educates and empowers women. From reproductive health to the impact of antibiotics and probiotics, and the latest trends, including vaginal steaming, vaginal marijuana products, and jade eggs, Gunter takes us on a factual, fun-filled journey. Discover the truth about: The vaginal microbiome Genital hygiene, lubricants, and hormone myths and fallacies How diet impacts vaginal health Stem cells and the vagina Cosmetic vaginal surgery What changes to expect during pregnancy, after childbirth, and through menopause How medicine fails women by dismissing symptoms Plus: Thongs vs. lace: the best underwear for vaginal health How to select a tampon The full glory of the clitoris and the myth of the G Spot ... And so much more. Whether you're a twenty-six-year-old worried that her labia are 'uncool' or a sixty-six-year-old dealing with painful sex, this comprehensive guide is sure to become a lifelong trusted resource.

Some notable ideas in this one, but it is definitely more useful if read during teenage years.

Megabooks I enjoyed this (also written by her) now that I‘m 42. 3y
IuliaC @Megabooks I've got this one stacked too! I've also enjoyed this one 3y

I finally finished a book. My reading has been slow lately. 🐌 I need to catch up on my reading challenge. This is the second year I've fallen behind. I blame the 🐶. Getting a puppy was a huge distraction. Now that she's more mature, I need to get back in the saddle. And I need to play less 🍬 crush... let's be honest 😏

Prairiegirl_reading Having a puppy takes away so much reading time!! I totally agree! Mine just turned three so it is getting better. 😄 3y
mandarchy @Prairiegirl_reading mine turned 2 just last Friday so I'm seeing a difference already. I just updated my goodreads challenge and today surpassed my total from last year. Still behind 25 books... 3y
Prairiegirl_reading @mandarchy better than last year is 👌🏼 3y

This and Our Bodies Ourselves needs to be required reading. It's a little preachy, but I'm listening. I should have read this before the Menopause Manifesto, but it's not a disaster... or a vagastrophe 😆 I love her sense of humor. Don't put off getting healthy until your aren't healthy is what I say.

IuliaC I really like your review! 😄 👍 3y
mandarchy @IuliaC ☺ thanks 😊 3y

I flew through this, but it is also a handy reference book to have around for any questions you have about your vagina. From puberty to pregnancy to menopause, Dr. Gunter has you covered. Questions about treatments, hair removal, underwear, conditions, she looks at them all from the perspective of published studies and her 30-year practice. There is also information throughout for trans men taking testosterone where their care differs.

ShelleyBooksie Is it a dry read (all facts) or more entertaining? It sounds interesting but I am not one for textbook like reading. 4y
Megabooks @ShelleyBooksie it‘s definitely not a textbook. The chapters are short and informative but with a conversational tone. Imagine a sister-in-law you like being an OB/GYN and getting to ask her questions. Kinda like that. 4y

I did a #jolabokaflod for myself! Feminist Book Club did these cute gift boxes, and this one has the light blue tote, soy burlap-scented candle, girly socks, and of course, the book! I added white Reese‘s trees for a great Christmas Eve. Happy/Merry Christmas y‘all! ❤️🎄❤️🎄

squirrelbrain Mmmm white chocolate Reeses - didn‘t know they were a thing! Merry Christmas! 🎄 4y
AmyG @squirrelbrain White chocolate reeses are beyond amazing. 4y
squirrelbrain I wonder if we even get them here in the UK? @AmyG I‘ll have to keep an eye out next year when we might actually be able to go to the shops! 4y

Branwen That looks amazing! Enjoy! 💕 4y
Megabooks @squirrelbrain @AmyG they are difficult to find even here! I have okay luck finding white Reese‘s in general but the white trees (and eggs that come out at Easter) are a bit hit-or-miss! 4y
Megabooks @Branwen thanks!! ❤️🎄 4y
AmyG @Megabooks They can be hard to find. I found the white trees mixed in with the regular ones....ate all the white ones and left the rest for my husband. 🤣 4y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Yeah girl! Treat your self! Great box. 4y
BarbaraBB We have hardly any Reese‘s here, let alone the white ones! Jealous! The parcel looks amazing, great gift to yourself Meg! Well deserved too 🤍 4y
Larkken how is the candle? “Burlap” scented sounds interesting! Great book cover, too. 4y
Megabooks @AmyG lololol!! 4y
Megabooks @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego thanks! I‘m loving the book! 4y
Megabooks @BarbaraBB thank you, friend! 💕💕 I hope you have a very merry Christmas with lots of books! 4y
Megabooks @Larkken I expected burlap to have more of an amber smell. It‘s slightly fruit, but I really like it! 4y
Cinfhen Merry Christmas, Meg ♥️ #LoveAcrossTheMiles xxx 4y
