Join V.&Me in conversation with the wonderful Dr Caroline Pukall, one of the co‑authors of When Sex Hurts and an internationally recognised expert in genito‑pelvic pain.

While V.&Me has primarily focused on vaginismus, this conversation widens the lens to explore vulvodynia, a chronic pain condition affecting the vulva that is often misunderstood, under‑diagnosed, and closely intertwined with other sexual pain conditions.

With her wealth of knowledge, Caroline helps us understand what vulvodynia is, potential risk factors, available treatments, and how it relates to vaginismus.

This conversation is essential listening for anyone experiencing pain involving their V, or for those looking to better understand their body and advocate for their own care.

So make yourself comfortable, or take us along on a walk, and join Caroline and me as we discuss all things related to our V.
