I'm halfway through a book titled "Healing Painful Sex" by Deborah Coady MD & Nancy Fish, MSW, MPH
Very pleased to report that this book is amazingly comprehensive, up to date (2011) and covers ALL aspects of pelvic pain....pudendal, pelvic floor dysfunction, hormonal issues/changes, psychological aspects, various treatment options... how to find a knowledgeable physician.....etc....
It may not have new information for people who are extremely well informed because of this outstanding forum, but it's the most complete, concise, intelligent and informative publication for sufferers I have come across. It also might be a valuable book to share with people who care about you, but do not fully understand.
Based on this book, I think the medical community is FINALLY beginning to recognize our medical condition, and hopefully books like this will help to validate it.
Less pain everybody,
