Summary

Up to 1 in 3 people assigned female at birth will experience menstrual abnormalities or pelvic issues. Due to the culture of secrecy, misinformation and stigma surrounding these conditions they are overwhelmingly misdiagnosed - and patients are dismissed, rushed and gaslit when they try to seek help. Gynaecologist and pelvic pain specialist, Dr Karen Tang, is on a mission to dispel myths and transform how we engage with our bodies and access much-needed gynaecological care. It's Not Hysteria shares critical knowledge that anyone impacted by these conditions desperately needs. Covering everything from the anatomy and reproductive health basics you wish you learned at school, to issues such as abnormal periods, PCOS, endometriosis, and fibroids, to more complex aspects of gynaecologic care like fertility, sexual health, and hysterectomies. Dr Tang's accessible advice empowers readers to take action and advocate for themselves with healthcare professionals. At a turbulent time when global health, reproductive, and human rights are under siege, Dr Tang is determined to revolutionise how gynaecologic health and pelvic pain are treated by the medical community. This book will be part of the fight for the healthcare all people with uteruses deserve - healthcare that is intersectional, gender-affirming, validating and hopeful.
