Description

Any woman - young or old - who's ever felt too intimidated or too rushed to ask her doctor all the questions she wants to ask will find this book as refreshing and reassuring as a long talk with the medical expert next door. Just as she does as the medical correspondent for Today, Dr. Judith Reichman offers authoritative, understandable information about women's most pressing issues: from contraception to cancer, from PMS to infertility, from decoding a lab report to proper self-examination. And her genuine warmth and humour make the answers both easy to read and painless to swallow. With the latest information on mental health issues, genetics, and health research, and featuring Top 10 lists of ways women can care for themselves at every age, this is an invaluable resource for women from adolescence through the rest of their lives. One of Oprah Winfrey's most popular and recurring guests, Reichman is frequently mentioned in the media, including a feature-length piece in the Los Angeles Times. Relax, This Won't Hurt was a Los Angeles Times bestseller in hardcover. Reichman's previous book, I'm Not in the Mood, hit the New York Times and Los Angeles Times bestseller lists.
