Vagina Problems: Endometriosis, Painful Sex, and Other Taboo Topics by Lara Parker
I don't want to give any rating as this is based on the personal life of the author, so it feels unfair to rate her experience.
This book has been a hurtful and hopeful experience, at the same time, for anyone with chronic illnesses. Having been diagnosed with adeno and possible having endo, I've been trying to get to know different experiences of women dealing with these diseases and Lara's one is so full of ups and downs.
I think this book is 65% focused on her sexual experience with her diseases and as I don't find it relatable based on my experience (which I'm grateful for), that made those parts seem a little repetitive to me and felt like some chapters were just the continuation of others. I wish that this book talked more about other aspects and consequences of the diseases, however I understand that the bad experience with the sexual part had (and has) a big impact on Lara's life.
I think that everyone with one (or more) of the illnesses present on this book should read it.
