An Apology to the Delicate Ones

About this book

Have you ever thought that you are ignorant of the details of your body—those details that may be a key to understanding your health and happiness? In the book An Apology to the Delicate Ones, Dr. Mahmoud El-Naggar, consultant of obstetrics and gynecology, opens closed doors to an exploratory journey into the depths of the female reproductive system. This book is not just a medical guide, but an apology from doctors to every woman for their shortfall in conveying basic information about her health. Through simple, clear language, Dr. El-Naggar takes you on a journey beginning before birth, passing through childhood problems, then the youth stage and its issues related to marriage and childbearing, all the way to the post-menopause stage. The book aims to empower women to understand their physical makeup and overcome the embarrassment that may prevent them from talking about their health with doctors. It also restores credit to women's role and encourages them to learn and know instead of preoccupying themselves with superficialities. The book includes illustrative images helping to understand complex information easily. It is an invitation to every woman to reclaim her role.
