About this listen

Women’s healthcare is in crisis. It’s time to empower women to fight for the care they deserve.

‘Sizzling with rage and disbelief, here’s to a much-needed women’s health revolution.’ Emma Barnett

'This book will inspire women to be stronger advocates for themselves so they can access the healthcare they both need and deserve.' Dr Louise Newson

–-

Female health issues have been an afterthought and sidelined for too long. It’s Probably Nothing exposes the truth about how women seeking help with their health have been repeatedly failed.

Drawing on her own experience of being dismissed, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed, Naga Munchetty explores the devastating outcome of decades of ingrained medical misogyny. She hears from dozens of women and their loved ones who have sought care only to be told that their symptoms are normal or all in their head. These testimonies highlight the consequences of not being heard, which has left so many living in pain, with chronic and life-changing conditions.

This book illustrates the common problems women face and offers insights from doctors and experts on what we’re entitled to at every stage. It will arm women and their loved ones with the information and confidence to successfully advocate for the best health outcomes.

Women want to be listened to. Women want to be healthy. Women deserve to live their best lives now. It’s Probably Nothing highlights the urgent need for change.

‘Sizzling with rage and disbelief, here’s to a much-needed women’s health revolution.’ Emma Barnett

'This book will inspire women to be stronger advocates for themselves so they can access the healthcare they both need and deserve.' Dr Louise Newson

'This book will give you the knowledge and confidence to challenge, ask questions and obtain information you need to make your own choices about your health. I wish I’d had it to read a decade ago.’ Dr Linda Gask

Thank you Naga for this thorough, informative, compassionate, and empowering look at women’s health issues. Despite already being well versed myself I have learnt things that I had not learnt during a lifetime of chronic pain, 2 biosciences degrees, time as a science teacher. I am currently a Long Covid victim, who is riding the waves of perimenopause, I’m booking another GP appointment on Monday because of the HRT options you mentioned. I’m also going to keep fighting for my pain management and Long Covid treatment. Thank you so much.

This was a sad and heartbreaking read but so important. Thankyou for writing this book and Thankyou to all those that shared their lived experience. I too have battled and fought hard to get my pain experience validated. It took 4 years and many words spoken by these women I have experienced first hand. I did find a solution to my chronic pelvic pain and it’s my life’s work to manage it. I had to advocate for myself time and time again. Anyone who has a women in their lives living with pain whether it be a colleague at work or at home should read this book and start listening. If you are a women living with pain- pick up this book and you will find words and advice to support and validate your experience.
