When Sex Hurts: A Woman’s Guide to Banishing Sexual Pain

For the 20 million who suffer from painful intercourse, this is a book which addresses the multiple causes and the available treatments. Painful sex is a condition that causes embarrassment and silence — often going undiscussed or misdiagnosed; as many as 40 percent who suffer from it won’t seek medical care. And most medical professionals are still in the dark when it comes to sexual pain in vulva-owners. Now, three leading experts tackle the stereotypes, myths, and realities of sexual pain in this easy-to-understand, accessible guide that will help you get the help you need and deserve. When Sex Hurts includes up-to-date information on the more than 20 causes of sexual pain, how to choose the right doctor, tips for understanding sexual pain (and what can be done about it), and how to rebuild sexual intimacy. Featuring groundbreaking research and stories from those who’ve also suffered — and recovered — When Sex Hurts provides all of the tools you need to stop hurting and start healing.
