As an OB/GYN in the San Francisco Bay Area, I am constantly asked at parties, social gatherings, picnics, and other places I spend my free time for medical advice relating to women’s health.   As a Muslim who’s grown up in the community in which I now practice, I am even more often asked questions specifically on personal medical questions and how they pertain to prayer, to fasting, to Hajj, etc.
I am always happy to be of service to the sisters around me but often think of those in communities without such access.   Every now and then, I even get an email from a distant acquaintance in another state.   I am sure there are many women out there who have questions.   This is an attempt on my part, to be of some service in the very small niche I serve.
