When discussing period pain or mood swings, hormonal imbalance or fertility issues, and all the "down there" concerns, vagina owners everywhere consistently ask their doctors one thing: Is this normal? Whether it was from her patients or her hundreds of thousands of social media followers, Dr. Jolene Brighten has heard this simple question more times than she can count.

In Is This Normal?, Dr. Brighten "answers to the often unasked questions along with actionable steps on how to move forward...It's like having a conversation with your most trusted friend...one that happens to have a medical degree" (Dr. Will Cole, New York Times bestselling author of Intuitive Fasting). TMI isn't a term in her world. She answers all those "lady parts" questions you've always wondered but might not have felt comfortable asking, including topics as wide-ranging as the menstrual cycle, postpartum health, libido, acne, the orgasm gap, and vaginal discharges. No topic is too gross, gooey, or OMG to be off-limits.
