Fw: Women and Unwanted HairFrom: Sonnet (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 31 Oct 2001 01:27:23 -0600 (CST)
Comprehensive book on female body hair tackles embarrassing health and beauty problem WOMEN AND UNWANTED HAIR by M. Sara Rosenthal ISBN 1-55212-888-1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Laura Tulchinsky at 416-691-0634 (email anonymous@obgyn.net), or Kim Chochrane at 905-472-1405 (email kim@sarahealth.com) Every day, some 10 million women in North America begin their day in front of magnified mirrors tweezing, waxing, shaving, sugaring and bleaching unwanted hairs from all over their bodies. Until now very little information existed in one place on the best methods to deal with this problem. M. Sara Rosenthal, health writer and author of The Gynecological Sourcebook recommended by the Ladies9 Home Journal, details how women can finally get a handle on their unwanted hair. In WOMEN AND UNWANTED HAIR, the only book of its kind, Rosenthal explains why unwanted hair grows and details removal methods. Chapters are devoted to electrolysis (the only permanent solution), laser treatment, pubic hair removal, as well as the range of hormonal disorders that cause hair growth and the treatment options. As well, there is information on the newest hair reduction cream, Vaniqa. Rosenthal also points out that many popular removal methods encourage hair growth. "WOMEN AND UNWANTED HAIR includes an appendix that tells readers how to link to the International Hair Route Drug Chart," says Rosenthal. "The International Hair Route Drug Chart is an exhaustive list of prescription drugs causing hair growth, and is normally not made public. We thank the publishers of International Hair Route for allowing our readers to have access to it free of charge." This book also delves into an issue you won9t find in any women9s health or beauty magazine: unwanted hair and its effect on body image. Rosenthal believes unwanted hair is a health and social issue for women, not just a cosmetic one. "I am frustrated by the lack of serious attention paid to unwanted hair by women's healthcare providers," Rosenthal says. "Unwanted hair is a very serious problem for at least 10% of the entire female population. Hirsutism significantly contributes to lower self-esteem and negative body image, which can predispose women to depression. Having reliable information about how to cope with unwanted hair, I hope, will empower women and validate their experiences." WOMEN AND UNWANTED HAIR is a SarahealthGuide and is published by Sarahealth.com, Rosenthal's health promotion web site. SarahealthGuides are dedicated to rare, stigmatizing or controversial health topics that mainstream publishers ignore.
