ool, friends, and the medical community because these symptoms are not confined to pain during sex, or even to the sexually active, and can be experienced by girls and women of all ages. Further, "Secret Suffering" addresses the effect of sexual pain on same sex relationships and contains a chapter about men who are afflicted.

Experts in the field agree this work is needed. According to Jill Osborne, President of the Interstitial Cystitis (IC) Network (IC is a common form of pelvic pain triggered by the bladder), "Until now, very few patients talked about their experience … Susan has been a driving force in creating this book and, partnered with Dr. Echenberg, now offers hope and encouragement to millions of women struggling with this condition … I can't say enough about this book. It's at the very top of books I will be recommending to patients struggling with IC and intimacy."

Lisa Martinez, Executive Director of The Women's Sexual Health Foundation said, "Susan Bilheimer and Robert J. Echenberg, MD, FACOG, have brought to our attention the challenges and severe frustrations of those with chronic pelvic pain. Secret Suffering will help women and men overcome many of those challenges and not feel so alone in their efforts to overcome such debilitating pain."

An Amazon reviewer and patient had this to say, "'Secret Suffering' has been a bridge for my family and friends to understand better what I have been going through. It's hard enough for me to understand, but thanks to this book, I can now relate with other patients and learn more about my body and how it works. It's a must read for the patient, partner, or friend. Don't miss it."

"With the divorce rate skyrocketing, and millions of women suffering in silence, it's time to bring the 'secret' out of hiding, and provide hope, help, and support to couples who suffer," Bilheimer says.

Dr. Echenberg agrees. &
