This comprehensive and up-to-date guide is an excellent self care resource for people experiencing pelvic pain, and a thorough medical reference for lay people and professionals. Although the intended audience is cisgender, heterosexual women, people of all genders will find this book extremely useful for understanding pelvic health. In fact, the book's deeply compassionate and thorough approach to chronic pelvic pain makes it arguably the best book available on the subject. Our staff highly recommends this book for anyone who is struggling with a pelvic pain condition, or who needs help communicating with their health care provider about sexual pain.
