Secret Suffering: How Women's Sexual and Pelvic Pain Affects Their Relationships de Susan Bilheimer

Secret Suffering: How Women's Sexual and Pelvic Pain Affects Their Relationships: Sex, Love, and Psychology

Autor Susan Bilheimer Cuvânt înainte de Daniel Brookoff Autor Robert J. Echenberg M.D.
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 mai 2009

Subiectul sănătății reproductive feminine este adesea învăluit într-o tăcere care nu face decât să amplifice suferința. În Secret Suffering, notăm cu interes o abordare curajoasă și necesară a durerii pelvine cronice, o condiție care depășește granițele cabinetului medical și se infiltrează în cele mai intime aspecte ale vieții de familie. Credem că forța acestui volum rezidă în dualitatea perspectivei: pe de o parte, avem vocea autentică a autoarei Susan Bilheimer, care a parcurs drumul frustrant al diagnosticului ratat, iar pe de altă parte, expertiza clinică a lui Robert J. Echenberg M.D., un specialist care a documentat sute de cazuri.

Reținem că această lucrare nu este doar un manual de simptomatologie, ci un manifest pentru empatie. Autorii explorează modul în care durerea cronică poate destabiliza căsnicii și cariere, oferind în același timp soluții bazate pe cercetări emergente. Cine a citit When Sex Hurts de Andrew Goldstein va aprecia aici concentrarea profundă pe dinamica relațională și includerea mărturiilor venite de la partenerii de viață, nu doar de la paciente. Dacă When Sex Hurts se concentrează pe demitizarea cauzelor fizice, Secret Suffering merge un pas mai departe, validând trauma psihologică și oferind un ghid pentru reconstrucția intimității.

Stilul este unul informativ, dar marcat de o compasiune evidentă, transformând datele clinice în instrumente de supraviețuire emoțională. Volumul reușește să spargă barierele comunicării medic-pacient, cerând comunității medicale o schimbare de paradigmă în tratarea durerii genitale și pelvine.

Descriere

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.

Recenzii

. . . Susan has been a driving force in creating this book and, partnered with Dr. Robert Echenberg, now offers hope and
encouragement to the millions of women struggling with this condition. Secret Suffering: Understanding Women's Sexual Pain and How That Affects Relationships has it all. Patient stories, a husband's point of view, a same sex couples experience with pelvic pain, the dilemma confronting single women with chronic pain, faith and the poignant story of two men who experience sexual pain. They talk about the difficulties working with the medical community but the great hope promised by a new, far more accepting medical paradigm of chronic pelvic and sexual pain. The appendix offers 64 tips to relieve sexual and pelvic pain! I can't say enough about this book. It's now at the very top of books I will be recommending to patients struggling with IC and intimacy. This will, beyond any other book I can suggest, break your isolation and show you that you are not alone and that there is hope! It's truly a must read.

Drawing on responses to an Internet survey, this book treats Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP), a 'silent epidemic' said to affect some 15 million American women-and their male/same sex partners. Emphasizing that patients need to be heard and that doctors need to ask the right questions, Bilheimer (a freelance writer who shares her struggles with CPP) and Dr. Echenberg (a CPP expert in private practice in Bethlehem, PA) discuss CPP's physiological and emotional aspects and treatment options. The book includes tips to relieve such pain, self-assessment questionnaires, methodological notes, information on running a CPP pain management practice, and a glossary.
. . . the book's honesty and directness break open awareness of a critically important issue. With the Internet site (http://www.secretsuffering.com) and book release, one expects that Bilheimer and Echenberg have launched a much longer term project. With the conversation out on the table, the work of affecting policy, research, and access to care should begin to move. And many women and men will realize that their suffering does not need to be secret anymore.
