This book is a must read for anyone suffering from sexual/pelvic pain. Dr. Coady does a wonderful job explaining the medical components of the many conditions that can cause pain. She also explains the treatments available, without overwhelming the reader. She is an expert in her field and the depth of her knowledge is immeasurable. Nancy Fish does a great job reassuring the reader they are not alone. Her advice on how to cope is brilliant. This book validates the suffering that many women have experienced and provides hope. I highly recommend this book...
