This common condition can lead to relationship breakdown and unnecessary surgery. So why is treatment still so poor and underfunded?

I was just a few weeks into a new relationship when the pain started. Whenever my boyfriend and I started to have penetrative sex, it felt as if there were razor blades inside me. At first I laughed it off, but soon I became terrified of intercourse. My body would freeze with fear as my clothes came off. By the time we said: “I love you,” even kissing made me feel anxious. I would spend entire day trips and holidays with him worrying about the pain.

What do you call a woman making a bridge between two pieces of land with her legs? 🙈😂

Very good article. This is just a pai fuk reminder of how utterly lacking health care is for women and females all over the world. I've experienced it first-hand.

Excessive sugar in the blood causes many such problems. British people drink more than needed sugar laden alcohol after intoxication.
