In the book, she dived into the systemic health challenges women face, inspired by her own experience with adenomyosis.
Naga shared the news with her followers on Twitter, saying, “It’s Probably Nothing is an exploration of the wide range of health challenges women face.
“In it I share my own experiences, as well as those of many others, talking to doctors and experts every step of the way. Order now.”
HarperNonFiction editor Julia Pollacco finalized the book deal with HarperCollins.
It’s Probably Nothing will be released in hardcover, e-book and audiobook on April 24, 2025.
Adenomyosis is a gynecological condition that causes the lining of the uterus to break through the muscular wall of the uterus.
Naga spoke publicly for the first time about being diagnosed with the condition in 2023.
Speaking on her BBC Radio 5 Live show, she described suffering constant pain and frustration at being rejected by doctors.
Her journey to an official diagnosis required seeking private medical care after decades of health professionals telling her to “shut up.”
After signing the book deal, Naga said, “It’s becoming increasingly clear that women and those who love women need to know how to fight for their health and arm themselves with the right tools to do so effectively.

“I want to write a book that can help women. It’s time to take our health seriously.”
It’s Probably Nothing combines Munchetty’s personal experiences with extensive interviews, medical evidence and contributions from health professionals.
It aims to provide a practical guide for women navigating the healthcare system, highlighting red flags and advocating for better treatment and understanding.
Commissioning Editor Pollacco expressed her excitement about the project, saying, “I’m so pleased to be working on this book with Naga.
Adenomyosis
What is adenomyosis?
Adenomyosis is a condition of the uterus (womb), where the tissue that grows on the lining of the uterus (also known as the endometrium) is also present on the inner muscular wall of the uterus.
Adenomyosis can cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, nonmenstrual bleeding, menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), pain during or after intercourse (dyspareunia), and infertility.
Although the condition is not life-threatening, it can have serious symptoms.
Some women undergo a hysterectomy to relieve symptoms.
Adenomyosis can have a number of causes, but none has been definitively identified.
There is a correlation between the presence of adenomyosis and the number of births in women: the more pregnancies, the more likely you are to have adenomyosis.
“Her knowledge and passion for women’s health is unlike anything I’ve seen in the past, and I’m constantly moved by the stories she shares with me.
“The team here can’t wait for women to read this book—I truly believe it will be a game-changer for anyone struggling to be taken seriously by doctors, whether they’re advocating for themselves or their loved ones.”
