When Sex Hurts
byﾠAndrew Goldstein MD, ﾠCaroline Pukall PhD, ﾠIrwin Goldstein MD
For the 20 million women who suffer from painful intercourse: the first book to address the multiple causes and the available treatments.
Painful sex is a condition that causes embarrassment and silenceﾗoften going undiscussed or misdiagnosed; as many as 40 percent of women who suffer from it wonﾒt seek medical care. And most medical professionals are still in the dark when it comes to women’s sexual pain. 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. Drs. Goldstein, Pukall, and Goldstein offer answers to your most pressing questions, as well as:ﾠ
- Up-to-date information on the more than 20 causes of sexual pain
- How to choose the right doctorﾗand how to interpret your doctorﾒs lingo
- Valuable tips for understanding sexual pain, and what can be done about it
- How to rebuild sexual intimacy once the pain is gone
Featuring groundbreaking research and stories from women whoﾒve also sufferedﾗand recoveredﾗWhen Sex Hurtsﾠprovides all of the tools you need to stop hurting and start healing.
