"Millions of women suffer from sexual and pelvic pain in America today, yet it is frequently misdiagnosed- or not diagnosed at all. In Healing Painful Sex, Deborah Coady, MD, and Nancy Fish, MSW, MPH, use their combined professional expertise as a doctor and therapist to provide readers with an understanding of the many causes of sexual pain and how to treat it from both a physical and psychological standpoint."
"Women who experience pain with intercourse often struggle with a healthcare system that fails to understand or validate their symptoms. This book captures their experience both physically and psychologically. With an optimistic, holistic, and mindful approach to healing, Coady and Fish provide empathy, support, and most important, a thorough education about the possible causes, approaches, and treatment options."
