The Vagina Bible

Separate the myth from the medicine by women's health expert Dr Jen Gunter.

Description

The Vagina Bible, authored by the renowned obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr. Jennifer Gunter, is an indispensable guide that empowers women with the knowledge they need about their own bodies. In a world where misinformation about female anatomy and healthcare seems to be omnipresent, this book serves as a beacon of factual, science-based information. From the mysteries of the vaginal microbiome to the truth about the HPV vaccine, Dr. Gunter dismantles myths and provides clear answers to the most pressing questions about vaginal health.

Have you ever wondered if eating sugar can cause yeast infections, or what function pubic hair serves? Have you questioned whether a vulvovaginal care regimen is necessary, or if your vagina will atrophy from a lack of sexual activity? Dr. Gunter addresses these concerns with a sharp, informed perspective that cuts through the clickbait and pseudoscience cluttering the internet.

Delving into subjects ranging from reproductive health to the effects of antibiotics and probiotics, Dr. Gunter covers contemporary trends such as vaginal steaming, the use of vaginal marijuana products, and even jade eggs. With wit and expertise, she guides readers on a journey full of eye-opening revelations and practical advice.

Discover the truth about:

The vaginal microbiome
Genital hygiene, lubricants, and hormone myths
How diet impacts vaginal health
Stem cells and their role in vaginal health
Cosmetic vaginal surgery
The changes women can expect during pregnancy, after childbirth, and through menopause
How the medical field often fails women by dismissing symptoms

Additionally, the book delves into critical issues such as the best types of underwear for vaginal health (thongs vs. lace), how to choose the right tampon, and demystifies the full glory of the clitoris and the G Spot myth.

Whether you are a 26-year-old concerned about whether her labia are 'normal,' or a 66-year-old navigating the challenges of painful sex, The Vagina Bible is a comprehensive, lifelong resource that shatters the taboos surrounding women’s bodies. Offering authoritative insights and compassionate counsel, Dr. Gunter ensures that every reader feels informed and empowered about their vaginal health.

About the Author

Jen Gunter, MD, is an OB/GYN and a pain medicine physician. She writes a lot about sex, science, and social media, but sometimes she writes about other things because, well, why not? She has been called Twitter's resident gynecologist, the Internet's OB/GYN, and one of the fiercest advocates for women's health. She first started her quest to help provide quality information by writing The Preemie Primer, a guide for parents of premature babies. In addition to her academic publications, her writing has appeared in places like The New York Times, The Cut, USA Today, The Hill, and Self. She has taken on politicians, celebrities, and the press over misinformation and fake news about women's health care.

Dr. Gunter was born and raised in Winnipeg, Canada, and graduated from The University of Manitoba School of Medicine in 1990 at the age of 23. In 1995 she completed her OB/GYN training at the University of Western Ontario and moved to the United States to complete a fellowship in infectious diseases at the University of Kansas. After completing her fellowship she continued studies in pain medicine. She is board certified in OB/GYN in both Canada and the United States. She is also board certified in pain medicine. Dr. Gunter lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her two sons, her chocolate lab, and her one-eyed cat Luna.
