As author Madeline Zech Ruiz says, \u201cIf you own a vagina or a penis, you need to read this book!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In her amusing urology handbook, Ruiz argues that it\u2019s well past time for society to get over its discomfort regarding our plumbing system. She not only provides critical information about that system for both men and women but she also encourages readers to be proactive participants in keeping it healthy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The author includes her own journey as a urologist\u2019s wife living in the small town of McAllen, Texas who is constantly fielding questions from strangers and loved ones alike\u2014at first, somewhat gingerly, but eventually embracing her role as a human conduit between the patient and her highly skilled doctor\/husband.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Ruiz employs an accessible style with colorful phrases scattered throughout; for instance, she uses a analogies to detail the various urology subspecialties\u2014her husband specializes in reconstructive surgery\u2014and describes a weak urine flow thus, \u201chis pee stream was sounding more like a slow skipping rock across a very large pond.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Other topics include penile prostheses, prostate health, vasectomies, kidney stones, and hormone replacement therapy. Of particular note are chapters covering diabetes, the effects of anesthesia, a neighbor\u2019s alarming case of parasites, and pelvic floor therapy for women experiencing incontinence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 In this last instance, Ruiz explains that the woman\u2019s muscles necessary for developing continence are the same that one uses for holding in flatulence. She describes that her doctor husband \u201cactually made the word \u2018fart\u2019 sound as though it were the harp in an orchestra\u201d when discussing the necessary muscle exercises.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Impressively, the book has already been translated into 13 languages. This may allow the author to break taboos globally for the sake of improving both men\u2019s and women\u2019s health. A very educational and entertaining to read.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n Other Contact info :<\/p>\n US Tel: +1-833-VLBOOKS or +1 (833) 852-6657<\/p>\n 2554 Lincoln Blvd, Suite 142<\/p>\n Los Angeles, CA 90291 USA<\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n |
