It's Not Hysteria
by Dr. Karen Tang
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.
