Ep 40. Vulvodynia, Vestibulodynia and Sex Without Pain

IC can happen on its own, but many people have other pelvic conditions in addition to having IC. This week, Callie talks with Dr. Heather Jeffcoat about her journey to becoming a pelvic floor PT as well as the conditions of vulvodynia and vestibulodynia that may co-occur with IC. Dr. Jeffcoat is an orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapist, owner of Femina PT, current president of Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy, and advisory board member for the International Pelvic Pain Society. Callie and Dr. Jeffcoat talk through the details of the conditions and different approaches to treating them. Dr. Jeffcoat wrote her book Sex Without Pain: A Self-Treatment Guide To The Sex Life You Deserve to help patients who experience painful intercourse help themselves and reduce their pain during sex.
