The New Harvard Guide to Women's Health

I have the original version and I refer to it all of the time. Very informative. Note the number of pages - this is a great resource. now I'm buying the updated version.

I purchased their first edition several years ago and was pleased to see they were updating. Finding illnesses or symptoms are easily attined and graphics are superb.Would recommend to all my lady friends.

I spent the last few months wrestling with a "women's health issue" of my own and this book was invaluable! I was able to research the possible things that might be causing my problem so that I had intelligent questions to discuss with my physician. I was then able to refer back to the book with the information he gave me. The diagrams are useful, the language concise, and each entry refers you to related entries in the book. Need a reference when you're healthy and want more info? This book is great. Need a reference when something is going wrong? This book is EVEN BETTER--find out what tests/procedures your doctor might use, the rationale for particular choices, what to expect during the test/exam, and gain insights for what the results mean. The New Harvard Guide can make a very scary situation much more manageable(knowledge is power!).

Every woman should have this book in their home. I've referenced it countless times and just bought another one for my mom!

This is a great reference book for women and those in the health care industry that work with women. Great, concise, easy-to-understand information on a wide variety of health-related subjects.
