Description
Up to 90% of women experience menstrual abnormalities or pelvic problems in their lifetime, yet these issues are often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed. This book sheds light on the critical knowledge that anyone impacted by conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, PMDD, or pelvic floor dysfunction desperately needs.
Dr Tang's accessible advice empowers readers to take action and advocate for themselves with healthcare professionals. The book covers a range of topics, from the basics of reproductive health to more complex aspects of gynaecologic care, including fertility, sexual health, and hysterectomies. By sharing her expertise, Dr Tang aims to revolutionise how gynaecologic health and pelvic pain are treated by the medical community.
This book is part of the fight for the healthcare that all people with uteruses deserve - healthcare that is intersectional, gender-affirming, validating and hopeful. With this knowledge, readers can take a more active role in their own health and well-being.
