Book Synopsis“This book is the brilliant and long needed corrective that we have waited for, since the first time we stuffed a box of pads into a three-ply paper bag and slunk out of a pharmacy. Never again.” —Samantha BeeNew York Times bestselling author of The Menopause Manifesto and the world's most famous and outspoken gynecologist” (The Guardian) fights myths and fearmongering with real science, inclusive facts, and shame-free advice on the topic that impacts more than 72 million Americans every month: menstruation.Most people who menstruate can expect to have hundreds of periods in a lifetime. So why is real information so hard to find? Despite its significance, most education about menstruation focuses either on increasing the chances of pregnancy or preventing it. And while both are important for many people, those who menstruate deserve to know more about their bodies than just what happens in service to reproduction. At a time when charlatans, politicians, and social media are succeeding in propagating damaging misinformation with real and devastating consequences, Dr. Jen provides the antidote with science, myth busting, and no-nonsense facts.Not knowing how your body works makes it challenging to advocate for yourself. Consequently, many suffer in silence, thinking their bodies are uniquely broken, or they turn to disreputable sources. Blood is a practical, empowering guide to what’s typical, what’s concerning, and when to seek care—recounted with the expertise and frank, fearless wit that have made Dr. Jen today’s most trusted voice in gynecology.Dr. Jen answers all your period-related questions, including: Why do we menstruate? How heavy is too heavy? How much should periods hurt? And she provides essential information about topics such as:* The fascinating biology of menstruation* Menstrual migraines, PMS, and period diarrhea (yes, it’s a thing, unfortunately)*Vaccines and menstruation*Legitimate menstrual products, and the facts behind toxic shock syndrome*Painful periods and endometriosis*Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)*Debunking social media disinformation about contraceptionBlood is about much more than biology. It’s an all-in-one, revolutionary guide that will change the way we think about, talk about—and don’t talk about—our bodies and our well-being.“Requisite reading. A no-nonsense, educational, science-backed, in-depth title about menstruation and the impact it can have on one’s body. This title will empower readers to better understand their bodies and to advocate for themselves in medical situations.” —Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW Filled with piercing social analysis and enlightening science, this one’s a winner.” —Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

Johns Hopkins University Press Abortion across Borders
Book SynopsisA timely examination of how restrictive policies force women to travel both within and across national borders to access abortion services. Safe, legal, and affordable abortion is widely recognized as an essential medical service for women across the world. When access to that service is denied or restricted, women are compelled to carry unwanted pregnancies to term, seek backstreet abortionists, attempt self-induced abortions, or even travel to less restrictive states, provinces, and countries to receive care. Abortion across Borders focuses on travel across domestic and international boundaries to terminate a pregnancy. Christabelle Sethna and Gayle Davis have gathered a cadre of authors to examine how restrictive policies force women to move both within and across national borders in order to reach abortion providers, often at great expense, over long distances and with significant safety risks. Taking historical and contemporary perspectives, contributors examine the situation Trade Review[Abortion across Borders] is a great example of interdisciplinary scholarship: the authors comprise several historians, a geographer, a sociologist, a psychologist, a lawyer and an architect. There is also a fair amount of politics in the book. This makes for varied approaches to each chapter, most of which focus on one country.—Sam Rowlands, Bournemouth University, British Society of Abortion Care Providers[Abortion across Borders] is a rich volume that offers new and exciting analyses.—Shannon Stettner, Literary Review of CanadaTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction Christabelle SethnaPart I.

Rodale Press Inc. The Estrogen Window: The Breakthrough Guide to
Book SynopsisWhen administered at the right time, estrogen therapy can lead to substantial improvements in a woman's quality of life. Yet, for more than a decade, women have been told about many worrisome side effects of hormone replacement therapy, including an increased risk of cancer, blood clots, and heart disease. In The estrogen Window, Dr. Mache Seibel shows that not taking estrogen at the right time following menopause actually increases the risk of suffering one of those events. Falling estrogen levels also increase a woman's risk for heart disease and Alzheimer's, as well as osteoporosis. Dr Seibel presents ground breaking research that proves how every woman has an "estrogen window," an ideal time to begin estrogen replacement, which can minimise menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fractured sleep, brain fog, irritability, and weight gain. Not only can women safely take estrogen during this window, but taking the hormone this way provides a wide range of health benefits that guarantee women increased protection from the very conditions they have been led to fear most.Trade Review“The Estrogen Window offers an easy-to-read explanation that removes the confusion regarding how to safely take estrogen. Once women realize they have an estrogen window, they can take back control of their lives.”—Sara Gottfried, MD, author of New York Times bestselling books The Hormone Reset Diet and The Hormone Cure“Dr. Seibel’s meticulous review of the most recent scientific evidence about menopausal hormones will help the reader think about the extra benefits that result from taking estrogen in the right way and at the right time. Clearly presented, this book shows that estrogen therapy improves quality of life including workability, prevents disease, and can be life-saving.”—Philip M. Sarrel, MD, professor emeritus of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive sciences and professor emeritus of psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine“I couldn’t put this book down! I have been longing for a doctor to write a book that will help women clearly understand the benefits of estrogen, when to use it, and how. Most women are still basing their health care on fear instead of facts. Dr. Seibel walks us through the impact of estrogen on our breasts, heart, brain, bones, vagina, bladder, and skin! Thank you, Dr. Seibel, for giving us all the information, studies, and tools to help keep us healthy and happy through menopause and beyond.”—Ellen Dolgen, speaker, author, blogger, and health and wellness advocate; founder and president of Menopause Mondays at EllenDolgen.com“In his new book, The Estrogen Window, Mache Seibel, MD, has created a breakthrough guide to coach women through menopause. He clarifies how to manage menopause symptoms, balance the risks and benefits of hormone therapy and when might be the best time to consider treatment, and how to communicate effectively with your doctor. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with menopause issues.”—Steven Masley, MD, FAHA, FACN, FAAFP, CNS, bestselling author of Smart Fat and The 30-Day Heart Tune-Up and creator of top public television programs: 30 Days to a Younger Heart and Smart Fats to Outsmart Aging.“In The Estrogen Window, Dr. Mache Seibel tells us everything we need to know about one of the most frequently prescribed medications in America. The crucial message is one women have known for millennia: Timing is everything.”—Julie Holland, MD, author of Moody Bitches: The Truth About the Drugs You’re Taking, the Sleep You’re Missing, the Sex You’re Not Having, and What’s Really Making You Crazy“The Estrogen Window is a book very much needed among women today, many of whom suffer not only from the effects of their menopause, but even more from the effects of misinformation. Dr. Seibel has written a clear, concise, readable, and knowledgeable source of information. One that will be immediately valuable to the many women and their families who suffer from estrogen deprivation.”—Ricardo Azziz, MD, MPH; Regents’ professor, Georgia Regents University; former founding president, Georgia Regents University; former president, Georgia Health Sciences University; former founding CEO, Georgia Regents Health System

WW Norton & Co High Risk: Stories of Pregnancy, Birth, and the
Book Synopsis“My work offers a window into the darkest and lightest corners of people’s lives, into the extremes of human experience,” writes Dr. Chavi Eve Karkowsky in High Risk, her timely and unflinching account of working in maternal-fetal medicine—that branch of medicine that concerns high-risk pregnancies. Whether offering insight into the rise in home births, the alarming rise in America’s maternal mortality rate, or the history of involuntary sterilization, Karkowsky offers a window into all that pregnancy, labor, and birth can entail—birth and joy, but also challenge and loss—illustrating the complexity of reproductive life and the systems that surround it. With historical insight and journalistic verve, Karkowsky unpacks what is involved for women, for a family, and for us as a society; and explores what’s at risk when these aspects of medicine remain clouded in mystery and misinformation.Trade Review"Pregnancies don’t always end up happily ever after, even in the skilled hands of a maternal-fetal medicine physician like Karkowsky. . . . [S]he provides a great deal of helpful information, carefully explaining an alphabet soup of acronyms . . . [S]he spells out why some pre-existing conditions in pregnant moms can lead to problems. . . . It’s reassuring to know that maternal deaths are rare and that doctors try so hard to help at-risk moms and their babies meet the odds." -- Karen Springen, Booklist"In addition to graphic accounts of complications, Karkowsky also examines how pregnancy care is evolving—not always for the better.... Karkowsky urges better communication between doctors and nurses and doctors and patients, especially in conveying tragic news. She also makes frequent references to her own experiences as a wife and mother, subject to some of the risks she describes. A solid primer on pregnancy risks as well as a cogent plea for progress to make childbirth even less perilous." -- Kirkus Reviews"As a physician and mother expecting my second child, I found this book to portray pregnancy as the nuanced and poignant experience that it is. A compelling and engaging read." -- Dr. Leana Wen, physician, professor, and former President/CEO of Planned Parenthood"Dr. Karkowsky unflinchingly probes the expectations, precedents, myths, realities, and curveballs of modern pregnancy and delivery. This book is a significant contribution to the discourse about women’s health and medicine today." -- Danielle Ofri, MD, PhD, author of When We Do Harm"Profound, gripping, unsparing, and compassionate, High Risk offers a nuanced examination of issues that impact so many of us, from a perspective we almost never get to hear. This is an important book that shines a critical light on the medicine and systems surrounding pregnancy and birth." -- Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, author of Nurture the Wow"What a gift to find a voice like Dr. Karkowsky's in the literary conversation around birth. Her humility, introspection, self-examination, and expertise is precisely what we need from our most highly trained specialists.… A fascinating dispatch from the front lines of high-risk obstetrics." -- Elisa Albert, author of After Birth"Dr. Karkowsky knows her subject from the inside, and shows us, both through her narratives and her wise reflections on them, just why such 'knowledge is powerful and painful and damaging, but it's also powerful and healing and wonderful.'… Every doctor, medical student, and prospective parent should read it." -- Terrence Holt, author of Internal Medicine"An edifying and utterly enthralling meditation on the joys and sorrows of being a doctor at the frontlines of high-risk pregnancies. Dr. Chavi Eve Karkowsky is a clinician who loves what she does, who grapples with tough decisions and who cares deeply about women’s reproductive health…This book should be mandatory reading for any woman who has been pregnant or considering pregnancy and everyone who provides health care to women.”" -- Randi H. Epstein, author of Aroused
