A prominent gynecologist explains how to make the best choices for female reproductive health in this authoritative, easy-to-read guide

This book is for every woman who has wished for an unhurried, personal conversation with a sympathetic doctor who will answer her questions about reproductive health. Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, a gynecologist practicing for more than 25 years, presents a complete and up-to-date guide to a healthy reproductive system for women in their teens through middle age.

With warmth and understanding, Dr. Minkin and coauthor Carol V. Wright respond to questions about the gynecological issues that concern women today, including sexual activity, contraception, and family planning. Readers of The Yale Guide to Women’s Reproductive Health willlearn how the female body works, what problems may arise, and what solutions are available—in short, they will become better prepared to participate in their own health care and to make healthy decisions.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book with all up to date information
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2020
I have read Dr.Minkin's book on menopause.It was excellent.I passed it on to a friend.
I took this book out of the library.I found it most informative on general female health as well as sexual health.
Every doctor has their own opinions,which can come thru in their books.
Dr.Mary Jane Minkin is a rare gem.I have been a patient for 37 years and am lucky for that.

2.0 out of 5 stars Forthright in its opinions.
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2012
I borrowed the 2005 edition from my local library for further medical information and to dispel rumor. The medical information offered is straightforward but I found the author's habit of inserting her own opinions off-putting at the very least. A judgmental tone is not appropriate for this material. Use the book as a jumping-off point for terms, and try other literature for a broader-minded scope of reference material.
