About When Sex Hurts: A Woman's Guide To Banishing Sexual
Product Description 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 -- often going undiscussed or misdiagnosed; as many as 40 percent of women who suffer from it won'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: Up-to-date information on the more than 20 causes of sexual pain How to choose the right doctor -- and how to interpret your doctor'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've also suffered -- and recovered -- When Sex Hurts provides all of the tools you need to stop hurting and start healing. From Booklist Two physicians and one psychologist skillfully tackle a touchy topic and present a complete overview of pain-causing conditions suffered by women, from skin disorders and hormonal changes to inflammation of the lining of the bladder, sexually transmitted diseases, and yeast infections. It�s enough to make a gal swear off sex. The authors give helpful, straightforward advice that�s often easy to follow. For example, they recommend unscented toilet paper for contact dermatitis. They also give some good basic ob/gyn information, such as that the clitoris is basically a female penis. One quibble: there isn�t enough information about sources. It�s hard to believe, for example, that �more than 20 million American women alone will experience painful sex in their lifetime.� If that�s true, though, this informative book should fly off the shelves. --Karen Springen Review Cindy Meston, Ph.D., Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Texas at Austin, author of Why Women Have Sex “The most comprehensive, accessible, and illuminating look into women’s sexual pain ever written, packed with up-to-date and invaluable information. When Sex Hurts is a must read for any woman, or partner of a woman, who has experienced painful sex.” Dr. Tim Johnson, Senior Medical Contributor, ABC News “This is a subject that has been in the dark far too long and this book will help shine a much needed bright light into those shadows.” Yitzchak Binik, Professor of Psychology, McGill University, Director, Sex and Couple Therapy Service, McGill University Health Center “Finally, an up to date, comprehensive source of information for women suffering from sexual pain. I will recommend this book to my patients.” Alan M.
