Sweating Blood’: Patients' Dirty Work in Informal Complaint Biographies
Every day patients make informal complaints directly to care professionals. Although common in care encounters, the practice remains understudied. In this study, we focus on informal complaints through an analysis of interviews with 19 patients in Sweden, many living with chronic illness. We conceptualise these complaints as ‘informal complaint biographies’: not merely verbal expressions, but interwoven with people's lives, identities and care tr…
What is 'normal' after birth? Situating the material everyday consequences of second-degree vaginal tears in relation to post-birth norms
Normative assumptions and dominant constructions around women's reproductive health have long been a central topic in medical sociology and gender studies. Following this tradition, this article examines Swedish women's experience of second-degree vaginal tears - i.e. a tear in the vagina and/or perineal muscle requiring suturing. Although such tears are a common consequence of vaginal birth, follow-up and treatment have been lacking in the Swedi…

May I have your uterus? The contribution of considering complexities preceding live uterus transplantation
Uterus transplantation combined with in vitro fertilisation (IVF) (henceforth called UTx-IVF) as a treatment for infertility caused by an absence or malfunction of the uterus is advancing. About 50 transplantations have been conducted worldwide and at least 14 children have been born-9 of them by women taking part in a Swedish research project on UTx-IVF. The Swedish research protocol initially stated that the potential recipient must 'have her o…
Hooked on a feeling? Exploring desires and 'solutions' in infertility accounts given by women with 'atypical' sex development
Sociocultural meanings accorded to infertility, and rapid developments in assisted reproductive technologies, have long been central concerns in feminist and social scientific research. However, knowledge is scarce concerning how individuals make sense of infertility when it is disclosed in adolescence, for example as the result of an 'atypical' sex development, rather than as a result of failed conception. This article examines how understanding…
You have all those emotions inside that you cannot show because of what they will cause: Disclosing the absence of one's uterus and vagina
Differently normal" and "normally different: Negotiations of female embodiment in women's accounts of 'atypical' sex development
Creating, maintaining and questioning (hetero)relational normality in narratives about vaginal reconstruction
Analysing ten interviews with women diagnosed with and treated for congenital absence of the vagina, this article theorises the notion of ideal (hetero)relational normality. It explores how women in my case study negotiate, relate to and challenge this notion and examines the normative and bodily work for which it calls. The article specifically underscores the corporeal dimension of (hetero)relational normality. I argue that this notion of norma…
