In this episode, Shirlea North discusses dyspareunia, or pain with penetration, exploring its significance in sexual health and intimacy. She emphasizes the importance of open dialogue between providers and clients, the complexities of assessing and treating dyspareunia, and the need for a comprehensive approach to pelvic health. Shirlea highlights that experiencing pain during penetration is not normal and encourages individuals to seek help, whether through pelvic floor therapy or other medical interventions. The conversation aims to destigmatize discussions around sexual health, particularly in the context of Valentine's Day, and to empower individuals to pursue pleasurable and pain-free intimacy.
