I laid down on the theatre bed ready for the examination of my vaginal entrance when the Consultant told me she wanted to examine me without anaesthetic. I told her that wasn't what was agreed and it would hurt me. It was pointless arguing. She proceeded to stick the speculum in. I screamed. She came up beside me and her closing words cut even deeper. " I think all your pain is psychological". I walked out of that hospital defiant that I would teach the medical professionals about Pudendal Neuralgia and how it affects us sufferers. This condition needs to be taught in medical college and also more research is needed. The book is full of stories from a Facebook group.
