Through classic, new, and emerging research, with statements from
experts and interviews with Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP) sufferers and
their partners and spouses, Secret Suffering: How Women's Sexual
and Pelvic Pain Affects Their Relationships exposes and gives
strong voice and compassionate understanding to this complex
disorder. Secret Suffering: How Women's Sexual and Pelvic Pain
Affects Their Relationships is the first book to explain how pelvic
and sexual pain affects the lives of women (and men) and their
partners in their own words/ The work also provides information on
cutting-edge research and describes the most effective treatment
modalities. Susan Bilheimer, coauthor, shares her own experiences
as a patient who has gone down the painful, frustrating road of
living with an illness that is often dismissed and not taken
seriously. Robert J. Echenberg, M.D., coauthor, has treated over
700 women (and some men) with the disorder. He shares his decades
of experience and expertise as a gynecologist and specialist in the
treatment of chronic pelvic pain. Not only does CPP interfere with
a woman's physical and mental health, it can wreak havoc in family
relationships, ruin careers, and wreck marriages. In the majority
of cases, women suffer in silence. Even when they do seek medical
help, what they find too often is inadequate care, as most doctors,
even gynecological specialists, are not properly trained in
recognizing, much less treating, all aspects of CPP. Through
classic, new, and emerging research, with statements from experts
and interviews with CPP sufferers and their partners, Secret
Suffering exposes and gives strong voice and compassionate
understanding to this complex disorder. Most importantly,
information on effective treatments for CPP, as well as the
depression and other psychological fallout it may cause, are
presented. Through Secret Suffering, Bilheimer and Echenberg
finally shatter the silence, educate patients, build understanding,
and demand that chronic pelvic and genital pain be taken seriously
by the medical community.
