Book Excerpts: V is For Vagina

April 26, 2012 by The Inside Press

V is For Vagina
By Dr. Alyssa Dweck

“Vaginas. I’ve seen thousands of them. As a full-time practicing OB/GYN for almost two decades, I’ve learned women have a complex relationship with their V’s. Whether curious, closed, excited, elated, tenacious, mortified, tearful, or fearful, shy, panicked, pugnacious, even petrified, women first and foremost all want to know one thing: Am I normal down there?

This essential question is the reason that I’m Facebooked frequently, cornered in the grocery store aisle, sidelined at the gym, questioned in cafes, and stopped on the street by women who have urgent issues about their vaginas. Their queries and concerns inspired me to write V is for Vagina. Rather than talk yeast infection in the produce aisle or labioplasty on the elliptical machine, I wanted to get the word out, to educate women in an easy-to-read, nonthreatening, down-to-earth way. I wanted to share medically sound and up-to-date information in a humorous, hip and relaxed style. And I wanted to have a little fun, too.

So, here it is, V Is for Vagina: a humorous but informative guide to the sometimes mysterious but always fascinating and amazing VAGINA.

Please read, laugh, and learn…”
