Book Review: Buy this for the guy in your life and for YOU too!
Summary: 5 Stars

Your Guy's to Gynecology works to clear up the muddy waters of misunderstanding surrounding men in the area of women's reproductive health. Through my online interview with Dr. Bruce I was able to see how well he helps men and women get along better using his book. Dr. Bruce has worked for years to help men understand how women's health affects them and the men in their lives.

Dr. Bekkars' book not only helps men get up to speed about what the women in their lives are going through, but offers them real and simple steps to help them through many of their changes like pregnancy, menopause and even describes things like a Pap smear. This is all done with with humor and fun. This book not only educates men and women about biolgy, it strongly fosters open and easy communication between the sexes. Yes, men are from Mars and women are from Venus but we can still live well together and Dr. Bekkar does a terrific job of making this happen!

Summary of Your Guy's Guide to Gynecology

Doctors Bekkar and Wahn have made a major contribution to lessening the "War of the Roses." They have taken gynecology, the medical speciality that deals with disease and care of the female reproductive system, and made it practical and understandable. If Adam had read this book before he entered the Garden, this effort would be superfluous now, but he didn't, and it isn't....

Obstetrics, the medical speciality that deals with the birth and its antecedents and sequelae, gets all the publicity. There are a plethora of books, tapes, and CD's for expectant mothers, fathers, siblings, and grandparents on all pregnancy-related topics. The involved male has nine months to do the right thing. Finally, he has a reference source that is a superb combination of succinct technical information blended with a witty, down-to-earth writing style that you will enjoy reading.

To be a successful, enlightened gynecologist, or a successful, communicating male, you have to be part psychiatrist. Cyclicity, or the lack thereof, between the brain and the female reproductive system is the major physiologic link that dictates all "basic female stuff." If you understand this concept then you are well on your way, and this book will help you complete your journey. The nice thing about owning it, and it should be a reference source in your library, not borrowed sporadically from the local library, is that it can grow old as the women you know gracefully age. Right now, "Bumps, Dips, and Owies" may be your primary concern, but, years from now your frayed copy will still be there when you need to know how to repel the "Attack of the Killer Hormones."

Although the book is for the "hulking beasts," the authors have cleverly entitled it YOUR GUY'S GUIDE TO GYNECOLOGY. Drs. Bekkar and Wahn know who is going to buy this guide and give it to those who think "a vulva is a Swedish sports sedan." Without a doubt, they have filled a void in many bookshelves and many lives. If you are reading this foreword, start spreading the news.
