The Big Book of Women's Health

As the head of gynaecology and obstetrics at two Berlin clinics, Mandy Mangler knows all too well that there are still plenty of long-standing myths, misconceptions, and glaring gaps in understanding circulating about women's health and the female body – and medical professionals are no exception here. The reason for this is that gynaecology is a field of knowledge that was gathered predominantly by men. And they haven’t always asked the right questions when it comes to researching a body that is different from the one they live in. The desire to fill these gaps is what drove Mandy Mangler to write this book.

In a sensitive and personal tone, Mangler takes a look at all aspects of women’s health in great detail, from the onset of menstruation to menopause and the final decades of life. It will help womento know and love their body better and empower them to have more informed conversations with doctor about their health. It offers surprising insights into sex and desire from a female perspective, information about dealing with issues with the cycle or unwanted pregnancies, tips on contraception and on fertility and childbirth, on infections, endometriosis, and cancer.

Empowering, utterly devoid of shame or squeamishness, incorporating the latest research findings, and unapologetically committed to patient well-being and women's health.
