In A Woman’s Guide to Pelvic Health a urologist and a physical therapist offer expert and reassuring advice to women. For example, one of every four women suffers from urinary incontinence, the involuntary leakage of urine. Elizabeth E.

Symptoms involving the pelvic floor, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and decreased sexual sensation, can occur at any age. A wide range of treatments, such as targeted exercises, nutrition, and acupuncture, as well as medications and surgical approaches, can bring relief. Case studies and illustrations help readers explore the cause of their own symptoms and how treatments work. A Woman's Guide to Pelvic Health encourages women to address their pelvic floor issues and reclaim their lives.

In fact, Men's Health columnist Debby Herbenick receives thousands of letters and emails from women across the country who admit to having less than spectacular sex lives—and they're looking for advice.

From enlightening lessons on female anatomy to the complicated issue of libido to an overview of sex toys and positions, Because It Feels Good informs women about every aspect of sexual function, providing the knowledge they need to have the sex lives they deserve. This is a pleasure manifesto—and your handbook to a great sex life.

Book excerpt: Every day you're bombarded with a myriad of messages about how the " perfect" woman looks, thinks, dresses, and acts. And if you listen long enough, you'll forget what God has declared: that you are not just a body. You are carefully and perfectly made in every way--physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. The Bible gives you the basic plan for realizing God's design for you as a woman and a wife. But the more you know about how your mind and body work, and how they complement the way your husband's mind and body work, the more fulfilling your marriage and sexual life will be. This extensive handbook not only explores that divine design in detail, but takes a fresh, practical look at the daily physiological realities of being female. Written by a veteran woman's healthcare educator, this book gives clear biblical wisdom and accurate medical answers to the questions you have regarding your health and sexuality within marriage. Through it you'll come to fully appreciate the wonder and complexity of God's handiwork in making you just as you are. And you'll learn to be a better partner--in every way--to your husband. Understanding your distinctiveness as a woman can truly enhance your life and your marriage!
