Never again." —Samantha BeeNew York Times bestselling author of The Menopause Manifesto and "the worlds 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 whats typical, whats concerning, and when to seek care—recounted with the expertise and frank, fearless wit that have made Dr. Jen todays most trusted voice in gynecology.Dr. Jen answers all your period-related questions, including: Why do we menstruate?
