Optimising recovery from vulval and vaginal pain by Heather Coppard
Many of you know that I am deeply committed to women’s health. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of running clinics and offering one-to-one support for women living with persistent pain and a range of women’s and pelvic health conditions, including vulvodynia, endometriosis, vaginismus, perimenopause and menopause.
What you might not know is that I have walked this chalenging path myself. For many years, I lived with recurrent vulval and vaginal pain and experienced first-hand the frustrations of navigating a healthcare system that often left me without answers. My personal journey, combined with my professional experience, showed me that I was not alone. Many women living with intimate pain describe feeling dismissed, unheard and unsure of how to manage their symptoms.
Because I believe everyone living with these conditions deserves to feel heard, receive compassionate care and have access to reliable information, I brought together my lived experience, professional knowledge and more than four years of research in my book. In it, I share evidence-informed information, practical strategies and supportive approaches to help readers better understand their health, develop positive self-management strategies and optimise their pain-management journey.
