Resolving Painful Intercourse

Many women experience painful intercourse at some point in their lives and it could be a result of physical problems and psychological situations. This topic is usually avoided during a doctor’s visit but it is highly important to be addressed since there are several options to manage this condition and improve the quality of lives of the women that suffer from it. This condition is known as dyspareunia, which is defined as persistent or recurrent genital pain that occurs just before, during or after intercourse, and depending on the underlying cause either medical or surgical approaches such as robotic surgery can help eliminate or reduce this common problem. Join Dr. Francisco Garcini, gynecologist with The Midwest Institute for Robotic Surgery at Silver Cross Hospital and Co-Director of the Center of Excellence for Minimally Invasive Gynecology at Silver Cross Hospital for a wellness discussion about resolving painful intercourse on Tuesday, May 2. This free program will be held in the Silver Cross Hospital Conference Center, 1890 Silver Cross Blvd., New Lenox. Register to attend at www.midwestroboticsurgery.org.
