Summary

It’s Not Hysteria: Reclaiming Gynecological Health

Did you know that up to 90% of women experience menstrual abnormalities or pelvic problems in their lifetime? Yet these issues are overwhelmingly misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed. Conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, PMDD, or pelvic floor dysfunction, don’t receive the stream of funding for research and new treatments that other conditions do, despite affecting up to half the population.

Critics Review

As an emergency physician, public health professional, and mother, I’ve seen the harm caused by women’s hesitance to ask questions about our own reproductive health. Dr. Karen Tang’s book fixes this ailment! It’s a 21st-century treasure trove of clear, useful information about how our reproductive systems work. It demystifies problems, helps explain how to get answers, and most of all, teaches us how to be our own best advocate. * Megan Ranney MD, MPH, Dean of Yale School of Public Health *Dr. Karen Tang is a literal godsend to women in a time still filled with great ignorance in medical research and financing of women’s health initiatives. Please read her book, follow her on Instagram as I have, and feel blessed as I do to have an advocate for our body, our health, and our human rights. * Sharon Stone, New York Times bestselling author of The Beauty of Living Twice *It’s Not Hysteria is the medical book everyone needs to read. It’s everything they should have taught you about reproductive health in school - but didn’t. * Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly *When it comes to reproductive health, Dr. Karen Tang is the go-to expert for everything you need to know but never learned in health class. In her groundbreaking debut, Dr. Tang tackles often misunderstood gynecologic health topics from endometriosis to PCOS to infertility and clears up the confusion, and misinformation, to help readers find the solutions they need. This book is a must-read and destined to become a new classic. * Dr. William W. Li, New York Times bestselling author of Eat to Beat Disease and Eat to Beat Your Diet *This book is a game changer, just like Karen! How I wish I had this to guide me ten years ago! It’s Not Hysteria is equally the gold standard in Women’s Health Care education as it is a love letter, and I am so glad it’s finally here. This book needs to be in every female’s hands. * Sasha Pieterse, actress, author, and host of Women In The Nude podcast *
