Beautifully written
Honestly better than several full priced titles I bought last month. Recommended if the description sounds like your thing.

Book synopsis
Dr. Karen Tang, a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, provides an essential guide to reclaiming health in a medical system that has historically dismissed and pathologized women’s pain. By dismantling the long-standing myth of 'hysteria,' this book offers a compassionate look at the physical and emotional realities of conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, and abnormal bleeding. It serves as a practical roadmap for patients—including transgender and nonbinary individuals—to understand their bodies, weigh treatment options, and find the empowerment they deserve.
What you'll take away
- Uncover the historical roots of medical misogyny and how they still influence modern gynecologic care.
- Learn to identify symptoms of common conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, and pelvic organ prolapse.
- Gain concrete communication strategies for advocating for yourself in a clinical setting.
- Understand the diverse range of surgical and non-surgical treatment options beyond 'just birth control.'
