About this ebook

Up to 16% of women experience vulvodynia at some point in their lives, regardless of age, ethnicity, or socioeconomic group. The pain of vulvodynia can upend relationships and turn daily life into a nightmare. Then there is the stigma that vulvodynia carries. Many women are embarrassed to discuss vulvar pain with their doctors, and the taboo on women’s health topics doesn’t help. A lack of open discussion means that thousands of women worldwide are suffering in silence with no hope of a cure.

But the idea that you have to suffer in silence is a lie. There are plenty of ways to treat vulvodynia, and with help, it’s 100% possible to take back control of your life and relationships. In this book was written for you by practicing physicians, pelvic physiotherapists, and scientists with years of experience to smash the stigma and empower you with the knowledge you need to rid yourself of vulvar pain.
