Book Description:

না বলা শরীরী কথা (Na Bala Shariri Katha) delves into the often-overlooked and stigmatized aspects of women’s health, especially surrounding puberty, menstruation, menopause, and various biological processes unique to the female body. This book provides an open, candid discussion about topics that are typically regarded as taboo or uncomfortable in society.

As girls transition into adolescence, they often face the challenge of navigating their own bodies amidst societal taboos. Menstruation, which is a natural and essential biological process, is often surrounded by shame and misinformation. This silence on female health issues results in a gap of knowledge, leading to misconceptions and neglect of essential healthcare. The authors aim to break this silence and educate women about their bodies, helping them understand and embrace their physiological experiences with confidence.

The book addresses not only menstruation and menopause but also a wide range of health-related concerns, biological processes, and diseases related to women’s health that are often surrounded by ignorance and stigma. It seeks to enlighten readers about the natural processes of the female body, offering a safe space to explore and discuss these topics without the embarrassment that typically accompanies such discussions.

Dr. Gautam Khastagir, a renowned gynecologist with extensive experience in infertility treatment, and Rumi Gangopadhyay, a seasoned writer and columnist, bring their expertise together in this book. While Khastagir offers medical insights, Gangopadhyay's journalistic background ensures the content is accessible and relatable to readers. Together, they aim to empower women to better understand their bodies and seek the medical help they deserve without shame or hesitation.

With a focus on both medical knowledge and emotional well-being, this book is a guide to navigating the complexities of womanhood, addressing long-standing cultural taboos with sensitivity, and offering practical advice for maintaining a healthy, informed relationship with one's body.
