My guest tonight is Elizabeth G. Stewart, M.D. Dr. Stewart is a gynecologist and Director of the Stewart-Forbes Vulvovaginal Specialty Service at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates. Dr. Stewart is also Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Harvard Medical School and a member of Brigham and Women's Hospital staff.   Dr. Stewart's perspectives as a full-time vulvovaginal practitioner, researcher, speaker and teacher shape her prominence as one of the leading voices advocating the importance of her specialty. Author of The V Book: A Doctor's Guide To Complete Vulvovaginal Health, she's compiled complete coverage of the facts about the healthy vulva, vagina and vestibule. Dr. Stewart discusses "that part" of your body. "Vagina is hardly a household word," says Dr. Stewart.   "The V Book" was written because "so many women are unfamiliar with their bodies," the book contains information about everything: yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, bladder inflammation, vaginitis and skin disorders, your genitalia, urinary and bladder infections, interstitial cystitis, vaginitis, trichomonas, atrophic vagnitis and strep vaginitis, vulvar pain, and vestibulodynia (pain in the vestibule) and painful intercourse. "The V Book" is not a gynecological sourcebook, but was written for the average woman who wants and needs to know more about vulvovaginal or V health.
