"Written in a Q&A format, A Gynecologist's Second Opinion answers all the questions that patients actually have but that most doctors often don't have time to answer.

Presented with the stories of women who have actually had these experiences, this authoritative guide provides detailed information on fibroids, ovarian cysts, hysterectomy, bladder problems, endometriosis, pelvic pain, ovarian cancer screening, cervical cancer, menstrual problems, and much more."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
