Dissertation Research
Persons with vaginas describe genito-pelvic pain in their intimate relationships: A Case Study.
Recruiting vaginaed persons to discuss experiences with
genito-pelvic pain conditions*
​
Do you have a genito-pelvic pain condition, like vulvodynia or vaginismus?
Are you currently or have you been in an intimate relationship with another person with a vagina in the last 3 years?
​
I am conducting research for my doctoral dissertation with persons with a vagina who have [vaginal] genito-pelvic pain and on the role it plays in their intimate relationships with other persons with vaginas.
​
My research will explore the experiences of persons with vaginas who experience genito-pelvic pain (dyspareunia, vulvodynia, undiagnosed sexual pain) and the role that pain plays in their intimate relationships.
