A guide for better health that each household should possess - it gives an easy to understand explanations of the health issues and problems that women encounter in their lives. Dr Alcena gives us women a precious gift - knowledge of how to take better care of ourselves, how better to observe symptoms, how to seek medical help for our symptoms before it is too late. This is a great book written with clarity by one of America's outstanding physicians and leading medical teachers. This book is a must-have and a must-read.
