In this season finale of AWF the Record, Dr. Karen Tang—renowned gynecologist and author of “It's Not Hysteria"—joins Mona and Jeannette to set the record straight on women's health. From misconceptions around periods to the mysteries of conditions like fibroids, PCOS, and endometriosis, Dr. Tang dives deep into what many women have been conditioned to ignore or misunderstand about their own bodies.
With her expertise, Dr. Tang exposes why women’s pain is often dismissed, the cultural myths that have held back proper care, and the shocking gaps in medical education about menstrual and reproductive health. Together, they uncover the historical biases that persist in medicine, and Dr. Tang shares practical ways for women to advocate for their health—no matter the diagnosis or doctor's opinion.
In this candid conversation, AWF the Record delivers eye-opening insights on topics society often keeps quiet about. This episode isn’t just about gynecologic health; it’s a call for change, a celebration of self-advocacy, and an inspiring push for every listener to own their health story.
