An Afternoon with Dr. Karen Tang & Donation Drive at Huxley & Hiro
Presented by Huxley & Hiro and Delaware Sexuality & Gender Collective
Join us for an empowering afternoon with renowned GYN Dr. Karen Tang to celebrate the paperback release of her book It's Not Hysteria: Everything You Need to Know About Your Reproductive Health – But Were Never Told. Dr. Tang will share insights from her groundbreaking book, discuss the challenges facing reproductive healthcare today, and answer your questions in an open, inclusive conversation about menstrual health, advocacy, and breaking stigmas.
In partnership with this event, we're hosting a Period Product Donation Drive to support the Junior League of Wilmington and the YWCA of Delaware. Please bring unopened packages of pads, tampons, liners, or menstrual cups to help fight period poverty in our community.
Let’s come together to learn, share, and support one another, because menstrual health is a human right!
Book Description:
Did you know that up to 90% of women experience menstrual abnormalities or pelvic issues in their lifetime? Yet these conditions are overwhelmingly misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed. The root causes for these issues, 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. Karen Tang is on a mission to transform how we engage with our bodies and our healthcare. It’s Not Hysteria is a comprehensive guide to common conditions and potential treatment options, with practical tools such as symptom prompts and sample questions for your provider, to equip readers to take control of their gynecologic health.Reproductive healthcare, from abortion to gender-affirming care, is under siege. The onus continues to fall on patients to find and advocate for the care they need. In the face of uncertainty and misinformation, It’s Not Hysteria is destined to become a new classic that educates and empowers women and those assigned female at birth.

She has partnered with corporations such as Proctor and Gamble for media campaigns, and serves as an expert on gynecologic and reproductive health for the World Health Organization.
Dr. Karen Tang received her undergraduate degree at the University of Chicago, her MD and Masters in Public Health at Columbia, her residency training in OB/Gyn at Beth Israel Deaconess/Harvard Medical School, and her fellowship in advanced gynecologic endoscopic surgery at Legacy Health in Portland, OR. Her areas of medical expertise include endometriosis, fibroids, chronic pelvic pain, and gender affirming gynecologic care for transgender and non-binary individuals.
