'In this essential book, Dr Liz Murray provides accurate, practical and empowering information that every woman should have access to.' - Professor Andrew Horne, Director of Centre for Reproductive Health, University of Edinburgh; Speciality Advisor to CMO for OBGYN, Scottish Government; and President of World Endometriosis Society
For generations, women's health concerns have been dismissed, minimised, or misunderstood. But heavy, painful periods are not normal, and suffering in silence should not be an option. In this groundbreaking and compassionate guide, Dr Liz Murray blends medical expertise with her own experience of living with endometriosis and chronic illness, to give readers the clarity, language, and confidence to finally be heard.
Drawing on the latest research into endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis and PCOS, Dr Murray explains what's really happening inside your body and how these conditions can affect women in very different ways. She offers practical tools for self-advocacy, demystifies diagnosis, and lays out treatment paths that empower rather than overwhelm.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Spot the early signs your body wants you to notice
- Recognise the crucial role of hormones and your immune system play in your health
- Navigate the path to diagnosis
- Understand your options for treatments
- Deal with issues affecting your fertility, menopause, and relationships
All women deserve to feel supported and empowered in their own bodies. Not Just Painful Periods is more than book - it's a revolution in women's health, delivered with warmth, wisdom, and unshakeable hope.
