Read the opening

From chapter 1, "Not Just During Sex". Every guide is written like a story, with real research behind it.

Sunday, 5:00pm. Aunty Adaeze's garden. Hibiscus flowers, cold zobo, a confession.

Aunty Adaeze was Amara's favourite aunt: loud, funny, always wearing bright headwraps and big earrings. Three years ago she had been treated for breast cancer, and had come through it with a scar, a new appreciation for life and, as she put it, "an opinion about everything."

That afternoon she was unusually quiet. When Amara asked why, she lowered her voice.

"My dear, since the treatment, down there is like sandpaper. Not just with your uncle. All the time. When I walk. When I sit. Sometimes when I wear trousers. I thought it was the price of surviving. So I kept quiet."

Amara put down her zobo. "Aunty. Three years?"

"Three years."

AmaraJide, can I ask Tolu something medical? For my aunt.
JideOf course. She is right here, eating my plantain.
AmaraIs it normal to have vaginal dryness all the time, not just during sex, after breast cancer treatment?
JideTolu says: "Very common. And very treatable. Tell your aunt she does not have to suffer. There are options, including ones that do not use hormones."
AmaraTell Tolu I love her.
JideShe says she knows. She also says stop stealing her time on a Sunday.
