Class is in session! From IUDs to UTIs, periods to pregnancy, and menstrual cups to cervical caps, Womenâs Health Vagina University teaches the modern woman everything you need to know about your most intimate partsâeven if you are uncomfortable saying "vagina" out loud.
Womenâs Health Vagina University challenges stigmas directed at womenâs bodies and sexuality, offers advice and support, and explains how your vaginaâs health can impact your overall health. It also includes:
· A quick overview of all things anatomical and biological that you learned in health class in middle school. The birds and the bees havenât changed, but even the teacherâs pet can use a refresher!
· Information on choosing the right gynecologist, birth control, period solution, and anything else a woman might have to choose in any circumstance. It is her right, after all.
· Eye-opening and entertaining facts about the history of womenâs healthcare and vagina-related issues all over the world.
· Straightforward guide to all the signs and symptoms that show up when there is something wrong down there and a trip tothe OB-GYN is just what the doctor ordered.
· Body- and sex-positive discussions about consent, pleasure in its many forms, and achieving the all-important O in a world filled with stereotypes and misinformation.
· Myth-busting truth-bombs that separate the cold, hard facts from the old wives tales, distortions, and misleading political rhetoric.
