All women have concerns about their bodies that they are just too embarrassed to bring up to their doctor. In  What the Yuck?! Health Magazine Medical Editor and Today Show contributor Dr. Roshini Rajapaksa (Dr. Raj) answers them all'”from the serious like 'œIs it bad that I drank margaritas before I realized I was pregnant?' and 'œCould this mole be skin cancer?' to the offbeat like 'œCan too many venti lattes give you a heart attack?' and 'œWhy do I get a headache when I eat chocolate cupcakes'? Dr. Raj sheds light on even the most confusing symptoms, telling readers when not to worry, and when to see their doctor. The book also shares insider tips from Dr. Raj, fascinating factoids'”such as 'œMost women have one breast that's larger than the other''”as well as poll results, so readers can see at a glance how many seemingly-weird body issues are actually healthy and normal. All 205 questions come from real women; they cover everyday health concerns and thoroughly modern conundrums, such as H1N1, celebrity diets, and cell phone dangers.


The book is organized by themes such as 'œThat time of the month' and 'œBetween the sheets,' making it easy to navigate and irresistible to flip through. Sure to be a classic, What the Yuck?! is a book women of all ages will want to own. Author Roshini Rajapaksa, MD, is Health Magazine's Medical Editor.
