It's Not Hysteria: Everything You Need to Know About Your Reproductive Health by Karen Tang

informative

5.0

This book was very educational, detailing many reproductive health concerns for women as well as gynecological issues for transgender women. I appreciated the narration done by the author herself, it really showcased her knowledge about the various topics and her passion for healthcare really stood out. The historical background and the treatment of women’s healthcare since recorded times was really eye opening. Truly to this day, many women’s issues are dismissed and not taken as seriously as men’s, especially for women of color. 

Split into three parts, Dr. Tang explains many known health conditions, possible causes, as well as currently available treatments. Reiterating that many of the issues lack medical studies because women of child bearing age were not allowed to be tested. Overall, this is a very informative collection of work, that I think would benefit medical professionals or someone interested in their own reproductive health. 

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the audiobook copy to review.
