What's Up Down There: Book Review

Hi Everyone, This is another book review by Lady Teddy. This new book: "What's Up Down There? Questions You'd Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Were Your Best Friend" by Lissa Rankin, MD is a fascinating and humorous new book dealing with one of our favorite subjects, Gynecology 😃!

Beyond answering basic and very advanced questions, this Doctor describes some of her most interesting patients. She once has a patient with two vaginas and two cervixs (yes, true, it does happen!) who only discovered this fact while she was giving birth, although her husband had "discovered" it 😉. Another patient, well dressed and educated, had maggots in her vagina (oh my!), home waxing jobs gone horribly wrong and much more!

I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves to read medfet. It is a mainstream book and I got it from my local library.

Lady Teddy, who is always reading and wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you Lady Teddy for the book review! It sounds very interesting and I shall surely check it out!

Hi Lady Teddy

. I also have had a patient with two vaginas, two uteri and she became pregnant after a sterilisation operation. I have also had a patient who had no vagina and one with imperfoate hymen who got pain and swelling every month. Until I examined her properly, I suspected she was pregnant but nothing could be further from the truth. A little nick with a sharp scalpel and she returned to being a normal woman. If you are in prcctice long enough, you see it all. I have not seen maggots in the vagina but he very worst smell imaginable comes from retained tampons which get forgotten for several months. Unbelievable
