Product Description
Deep pelvic endometriosis is one of the most severe expressions of a disease that may involve all the pelvic organs – bladder, ureters, rectosigmoid colon – causing debilitating symptoms and leading to impaired quality of life in young women.
The chapters cover both diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this disease. The central role of diagnostic imaging in surgical decision making is highlighted, as well as the difficulties involved in careful planning of surgical treatment, and special attention is paid to minimally invasive techniques.
The paramount importance of a multidisciplinary team, involving the expertise of radiologists, gastroenterologists, and psychologists, as well as the skills of the gynecologist, urologist, and colorectal surgeon is underlined throughout the text..

Menstrual Cramps Self Help Book
This book is very helpful and addresses all the issues related to cramps and some effective solutions to deal with them.The accupressure works and has diagrams so you know how to do it properly.The author has written several books dealing with women's issues.She is a doctor and explains things well.Unfortunately, all of her books are out of print and the publisher doesn't forsee printing any more, so some of them are hard to get.I felt very fortunate to find a copy of this book.

Excellent exercises to relieve menstrual cramps
There are 3 chapters in this book that I found really useful: exercises to relieve cramps, yoga to relieve cramps, and acupressure to relieve cramps.The other chapters on attitude, food & self-care are ok, but predictable, nothing really new or exciting.The 3 chapters of exercises are something special, and are laid out in a way that's easy to use when you need them. ...
