Book Synopsis
¿Por qué cuando hablamos de salud femenina todavía nos llaman «histéricas»? Un manual imprescindible con la información que nunca te dieron para entender tu cuerpo, desterrar mitos y dejar de normalizar el dolor.
Nos enseñaron a callar, a soportar, a pensar que el dolor era parte de la vida. Nos dijeron que los ciclos irregulares, los sangrados abundantes, las dificultades para concebir o el dolor durante el sexo eran «normales». Nos hicieron creer que exagerábamos, que nuestra angustia era emocional, que solo debíamos «relajarnos».
La Dra. Karen Tang, ginecóloga, cirujana y activista de la salud femenina, ha escuchado durante años las mismas historias: mujeres y personas con útero que han recorrido un laberinto de consultas sin encontrar respuestas, cuyos síntomas han sido minimizados o ignorados por un sistema médico que, históricamente, ha tratado la salud ginecológica como un asunto secundario. Este libro es un acto de resistencia, un manual de autoconocimiento y un grito de justicia.
Con un enfoque claro, accesible y profundamente inclusivo, No es histeria desmonta mitos, responde a preguntas que nunca nos han sabido contestar y nos ofrece herramientas prácticas para entender y defender nuestra salud. Aquí encontrarás explicaciones sobre afecciones como la endometriosis, el síndrome de ovario poliquístico, los miomas, la disfunción del suelo pélvico o la menopausia. También aprenderás a identificar señales de alerta, a comunicarte eficazmente con los médicos y con las personas que te rodean, y a exigir el trato que mereces.
Pero este libro no es solo información médica: es un cambio de narrativa. La Dra. Tang desafía el sesgo de género en la medicina, denuncia la falta de investigación en salud femenina y nos empodera para reclamar nuestro derecho a una atención digna.
Si alguna vez has sentido que tu dolor no importaba, que tu cuerpo era un misterio que nadie se molestaba en descifrar o que la salud reproductiva era un tema tabú, este libro es para ti. Porque no, No es histeria, y ha llegado el momento de tomar las riendas de nuestro bienestar.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Why are women still called "hysterical" when we talk about our health? An essential handbook with the information you were never given to understand your body, bust myths, and stop normalizing pain.
Dr. Karen Tang, a gynecologist, surgeon, and reproductive health advocate, has heard the same stories for years: women and people with uteruses navigating a maze of appointments without answers, their symptoms minimized or dismissed by a medical system that has historically treated gynecological health as secondary. This book is an act of resistance, a guide to self-knowledge, and a cry for justice.
Clear, accessible, and deeply inclusive, It's Not Hysteria dismantles myths, answers questions no one has properly answered, and offers practical tools to understand and defend your health. It explains conditions such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, fibroids, pelvic floor dysfunction, and menopause. You will also learn how to spot warning signs, communicate effectively with clinicians and loved ones, and demand the care you deserve.
More than medical information, this book changes the narrative. Dr. Tang challenges gender bias in medicine, denounces the lack of research in female health, and empowers readers to claim their right to dignified care.
If you've ever felt your pain didn't matter or that your body was a mystery no one bothered to solve, this book is for you. Because no, It's Not Hysteria, and it's time to take charge of our well-being.
