There are unspoken and misunderstood topics in medicine and vaginal rejuvenation is one. In Plumbing and Renovations, Lauri Romanzi uses humor to inform and support those many women suffering leaky bladders and wide-open vaginas who want help, not hysterectomy. As a world recognized urogynecology expert, Romanzi divulges the basics of female anatomy and the reconstructive principles of vaginal rejuvenation in terms anyone can understand. - Irwin Goldstein, MD, Director of Sexual Medicine, Alvarado Hospital, San Diego; Clinical Professor of Surgery, University of California at San Diego, Editor in Chief, The Journal of Sexual Medicine - Irwin Goldstein

This book is an owner's manual for anyone with a uterus and provides plenty of background information about internal renovation and plumbing that you won't find in such a well written and easy to understand form anywhere else. I found it extremely helpful reading just prior to having surgery, as I then understood what was happening. Dr. Lauri Romanzi is clearly a champion in her field and to be thanked for the good work she is doing for humanity. – Virgintapods

This book was excellent. Written by a knowledgeable physician in a relaxed informative style, her explanations are clear and understandable. She is caring and compassionate but also an expert in her field. She gives the reader the knowledge and confidence to take action if necessary. I would recommend this book to anyone who suffers from prolapse or indeed, anyone who really wants to know about the female body. – Guadelupe

This book truly saved me! After 2 opinions that I should get a hysterectomy, I found an alternative and am now working on my second child! After having my first, I needed help getting my pelvis back in shape. An incontinence issue acquired during my pregnancy also needed addressing. This book spelled it all out for me and with its amazing illustrations and information, I have seen a real improvement all of the ways around.

I am hoping to see more of these "Beauty Call" books from this author, as I think they touch on subjects rarely addressed, in a thorough, concise, and amusing way. Kudos! – L. Yohana

A friend gave me this book and I was SHOCKED by what no one - not your mom, not your doctors tell you. I learned more about my body from this book than I ever could have imagined. Plus, it's a riot. It should be recommended reading for women. – Abigail Gray

Ladies, if you have a dropped uterus (you'd be surprised how many women do) read this book first! You probably don't need a hysterectomy. You also want to read this book if you suffer from a dropped bladder, your vagina is loose, or you want to know what treatments are available too, among other things, improve your sex life. Eminently readable, informative, and wise, this book should be issued as a textbook for sex education classes, so thoroughly does it cover the subject of the female anatomy. Dr. Romanzi, I Kegel as I write this. Thanks! – EG
