Why write a 2nd edition of
the book “When Sex Hurts”?
How common is pain with sex for women?
Often times with pain with sex there is
a physical cause, but you can’t always see it.
Pelvic pain and pain with sex is very
isolating and people feel very alone.
People don’t know how to talk about it.
What happens after the pain is fixed.
What does “all in your head” mean and
why people don’t like that.
“Those who perceive their partners as
kind and understanding report more intense pain than women whose partners have responses that promote adaptive coping.” – what! What is adaptive coping?
How to communicate your pain to your partner
and your doctor.
What if you are a partner of someone
with dyspareunia - - “best partner response is having a partner who engages in
what researches call facilitative responses – affection and encouragement to cope with the pain in an adaptive way, such as by focusing on pleasure, deep breathing or positive thoughts while experiencing the pain.”
We talk about stress, sex and the gut –
things like irritable bowel syndrome related to pain with sex?
The role of birth control pills and
pelvic pain and health. In her book, “When Sex Hurts” they talk about Yaz
(drospirenone) and pelvic pain – a prospective study of women’s genitals and sexual function prior to starting Yasmin – and then after three months-
decreased clitoris, decreased blood flow, decreased labia minora, decreased libido, fewer orgasms and more dyspareunia.
The role of testosterone in pelvic pain
– one study showing women with higher androgen levels have less work related neck and shoulder pain then women with low androgen and differing levels of Testosterone may explain some of the gender related differences in pain
perception
The difficulty in giving testosterone to women and the problem with pellets.
