Making the CORRECT DIAGNOSIS is everything!

I will teach you how to make the correct diagnosis, in all its potential complexities, and then show you how every component can be treated by using a few easy steps.

There are many words to describe sexual pain: Dyspareunia, Provoked Vestibulodynia, Vulvodynia, Chronic Pelvic Pain, Vaginismus, Penetration Disorders - they all mean very little if you don’t make the correct diagnosis for the CAUSE OF THE PAIN and then on develop an effective INDIVIDUALISED TREATMENT PLAN for each patient.

Want to join the My Sexual Health TEAM?

This course is compulsory for any member of the MSH Team. This is the stuff I teach my team! This is the stuff we have taught each other over the past ten years. Surely, you can learn from it!

Put together, in 2021, the MSH Team members have 550 years' experience in providing Sexual Health Services! We have treated well over 10 000 patients with sexual pain and have sold over 5000 units of vaginal dilators through MSH Shop. We have been attending monthly multidisciplinary team meetings for over ten years and have presented our data at international conferences. We are dedicated to and passionate about the treatment of Sexual Pain!
Wow, I would love to learn from you! Please tell me more...

What will you get from this course?

You will go from "I wish I knew how to help this person" or "argh, not another pain patient" to "these are the reasons for your pain and this is how I can help you - I know exactly what to suggest for you!"

The MSH SEXUAL PAIN DIAGNOSIS TEMPLATE will take you from not knowing where to start and how to make sense of all of the possible causes and contributing factors to a place where you have a crystal clear picture of this patient's unique situation. The easy to follow treatment plans will also take the uncertainty and hopelessness out of the situation for both you and your patient.

I have dedicated my life to Sexual Health.

I am the President of the 25th Congress of the World Association for Sexual Health (WAS). I am also the President-Elect of the Southern African Sexual Health Association (SASHA) and the Regional Secretary for Africa on Advisory Committee of WAS. I started a Masters’ Degree in Sexual Health through the University of Sydney when I was still a medical intern, because I have always been passionate about the plight of women. I knew I will have to go study abroad to learn how to really help women. I have since obtained many qualifications, read unhealthy amounts of research papers, and attended countless international conferences where I make a fool of myself and keep on harassing the world experts until I have all my questions answered. Today, they are my friends, and I can teach you what all of us have learned over the years in a six-hour course.

Yes, please! I want to learn from you...
