DR LIZ COMBINES MEDICAL AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCE...
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.
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.
"This is the book I wish I had read in my teens to understand how my periods were warning me of underlying diseases. This is the book that could have saved me from years of pain, miscarriages and avoidable financial loss for IVF that was destined to fail. This is the book which I hope will ensure other people can reclaim control over their own lives, because we all have the right to thrive, not limited by 'painful or heavy periods'. A healthy period is one which does not disrupt your quality of life, anything else needs looking into. From your first period, any condition that can affect them, through to menopause - this book has been a privilege to write to provide reliable information using my many years of medical experience, but also with my utmost empathy, because I have been there."
