    Inside Pelvic Pain

    This episode is all about pelvic pain; caused by things like prolapse, vulvodynia, vaginismus, vaginal atrophy, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)  Pain, and painful sex, particularly in perimenopause, can become normalised and not spoken about or treated, but this is a conversation we need to have.
