A Headache in the Pelvis is a wonderful and inspiring book that should be read by every doctor and every sufferer. I was stunned when after twenty and more years of suffering, a urologist finally told me that there was no infection in my prostate, my frequent and painful peeing was not caused by bacteria but by a chronically tense pelvic floor. Only then did I understand that a distressing downward spiral of symptoms and anxiety had left me with an unconscious tendency to hold my pelvic floor in an anxious clench, hence triggering all kinds of nasty and worrying symptoms. Studying the Wise-Anderson Protocol by Drs. Wise and Anderson in the 7th edition of A Headache in the Pelvis marked the beginning of my long journey toward recovery. It’s a wonderful and inspiring book that should be read by every doctor and every sufferer.

A Headache in the Pelvis is one of the best patient guides for understanding and treating pelvic pain. I strongly recommend this book.

The authors’ thorough, comprehensive explanations of how pelvic pain can develop and persist provide both patients and health practitioners with insights and solutions on how to break the vicious cycle of chronic pelvic pain.
In my years of medical practice, I have had occasion to refer patients who suffered from pelvic pain. Many of these patients were either abandoned or given ineffective treatments. A Headache in the Pelvis provides unique insights into the condition and the Wise-Anderson treatment protocol to manage this difficult condition.
Pelvic floor dysfunction is one of the most under-diagnosed conditions in medicine. It is unfortunately not on the radar of most physicians. Patients are left to suffer and usually get mislabeled with some other diagnosis. The Wise-Anderson Protocol is transformational. I recommend this book to all my patients who suffer from pelvic pain.
As a female physician working with families, I have seen how difficult it is for patients to find accurate information about chronic pelvic pain. I strongly recommend this book as a comprehensive resource for those afflicted with this disorder.
