You've come to the right place. To women and their partners or friends- to clinicians- to anyone looking for information about the vulva or vagina- welcome to my website.
I am a gynecologist who has been caring for women with V problems for over twenty years. I've compiled complete coverage of the facts about the healthy vulva, vagina and vestibule. (If you don't know what the vestibule is, you certainly need to read The V Book!) And, if you've got a V problem, you will find helpful material in The V Book. Click on THE V BOOK for contents including a sample chapter about yeast infections. The V NOTES AND VOICES are interesting tidbits and actual quotes from my patients (with their names changed, of course). RESOURCES will tell you where to go for further help with a problem.
If you are a nurse practitioner, physician's assistant, nurse midwife, or physician, click on CLINICIANS to check out the complete references given for every chapter of The V Book. I've also made it easy for you to find the V topic of your choice with SEARCH THE WEBSITE.
