Why do so many women put up with painful sex?

This week, Dr Philippa Kaye – a GP specialising in women’s health – tells of the phenomenon of older women suffering intimate problems, thanks to the rise in dating apps for singletons of all ages. Dr Kaye explains how a new sexual partner can, sometimes, cause surprising complications – all of which are easily treated. But why, she asks, do so many mid-life women choose to simply put up with it, rather than seeking help? The Medical Minefield team also speak with Dr. Shirin Lakhani, who tells of the increasing interest in the unique services offered by her clinic: vaginal rejuvenation treatments.
