Join us for a special evening with KAREN TANG, MD, MPH.

Dr Tang is a board-certified gynecologist and minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, as well as an internationally recognised leader in reproductive health.

Did you know that up to 90% of women experience menstrual abnormalities or pelvic problems in their lifetime? Yet these issues are overwhelmingly misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed. Conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, PMDD, or pelvic floor dysfunction don’t receive the stream of funding for research and new treatments that other conditions do, despite affecting up to half the population. Dr Tang shares critical knowledge that anyone impacted by these conditions desperately needs.

October is Menopause Awareness Month, and we could not miss this opportunity to raise awareness of menopause symptoms, break taboos, and highlight available support and information for health and wellbeing.

“I wrote It’s Not Hysteria to amplify this dialogue, and to combat the secrecy and shame around gynecologic health. I want people to realize that they’re far from alone, the problem is not in their head, and they deserve to be cared for. I hope that friends and family members will discuss the book and have some powerful discussions together. I want readers to feel outrage at a system that is long overdue for change, but also optimism that such change is possible. One book isn’t going to undo thousands of years of ingrained misogyny, but we can help individual readers take control of their lives, and that’s incredibly powerful. Maybe we’ll chip away at a small corner of the patriarchy, too.”
