Gynecologist Patrick Bellelis, collaborator in the endometriosis sector at the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of São Paulo, highlights some points that deserve attention and care. For him, the more information they have, the better for their health.
“The menstrual cycle, endometriosis, cramps and motherhood are recurring themes throughout a woman’s life. Unfortunately, it is common for patients to be unaware of basic information about themselves, which makes prevention difficult in society as a whole”, explains the doctor.
To overcome the barriers of misinformation and establish a better relationship with your own body, enhancing your quality of life, books focused on women’s intimate health are powerful allies of quick knowledge. They are usually didactic and easy to understand.
“Of course, it is recommended to see a doctor periodically and at the slightest warning sign, but it is important for women to inform themselves and be aware of symptoms that could signal more serious illnesses, such as endometriosis”, explains Bellelis.
The doctor suggests eight useful books to better understand how the female body works:
