Pear shaped : the life story of your uterus / by Bongers, Marlies,author.; Klunder, Gijs,illustrator.; Tetley-Paul, Alice,translator.; Zweden, Corien van,author.; translation of:Bongers, Marlies.Biografie van de baarmoeder.English.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."It gives life to humankind, billions of people have one, and yet the uterus is still mysterious to many. And talking about it can feel taboo. But when you don't talk about it, you don't discover what's normal and what's not -- or what questions to ask at the doctor's office. The reality? This versatile, pear-shaped organ is worthy of everyone's attention. In Pear Shaped, a gynecologist and a science communicator join forces to tell the life story of your uterus. Did you know that the uterus is a muscle? Or that it can stretch to the size of a watermelon? In Pear Shaped, the authors reveal surprising facts about the uterus, alongside practical, helpful information including: A detailed anatomy of the uterus with illustrations. An overview of its many functions. Complications that can impact fertility, childbearing, birth, and menstruation. Tips for advocating for yourself at the doctor's office. Descriptions and images of what the uterus looks like (including the fact that it doesn't always look the same for everyone). Real case studies from the author's gynecological practice. Information about menstruation, contraception, abortion, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. As Pear Shaped shows, the uterus is truly fascinating. But it also can be a source of serious concern for many. Pear Shaped also discusses various problems and diseases that arise in the uterus -- including endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids, and unwanted pregnancy -- and how everyday people work with their doctors to find a solution that works for them"--
