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.

Book SynopsisIn A Barefoot Doctor’s Guide for Women, Georgette Delvaux, DC, focuses on hormonal health explaining in a conversational tone how issues related to menstruation, pre-menopause, and menopause can begin as mere annoyances and gradually develop into major problems that affect both body and mind. She describes the harmful late effects of treating hormonal imbalances with artificial hormones—a popular practice—and introduces Thermography, the exciting but still little-known method of detecting dangerous changes in breast tissue. With spirit and intelligence, Dr. Delvaux takes on these and other often-taboo topics, encourages women to trust subtle changes in their own sensations, and helps them understand both alternative and conventional medicine.
