The Wise-Anderson Protocol (popularly called the Stanford Protocol) has been successful helping selected women with dyspareunia
Dyspareunia refers to recurring genital pain experienced during intercourse. It is common among women and is often a topic of embarrassment or shame and therefore it is often something for which a woman does not seek help. Conventional wisdom sometimes condemns a woman with dyspareunia as someone who is frigid, hates sex or men or is subject to some kind of neurotic psychological malady. These ideas are old ideas with little validity. Often dysparuenia is caused by chronically tightened muscles of the pelvic floor and is a condition that can be significantly helped or resolved for many women.
The Wise-Anderson Protocol (popularly called the Stanford Protocol for many years), a new treatment developed and researched in the Department of Urology
at Stanford University by David Wise and Rodney Anderson, has been able to help a significant number of women with muscle related pelvic pain who experience pain during or after sexual activity.
Dr. Rodney Anderson and Dr. David Wise, the developers of the Wise-Anderson Protocol for pelvic pain, include a discussion of this treatment in the videos on the Wise-Anderson Protocol below.
JUST RELEASED 6th Edition of A Headache in the Pelvis
The Wise-Anderson Protocol was developed at Stanford University by Dr. Rodney Anderson and Dr. David Wise in the Department of Urology. Drs. Anderson and Wise discuss pelvic pain and its treatment with the Wise-Anderson Protocol in detail in their book, A Headache in the Pelvis, which is now in its 6th Edition. You may order this book below:
“When I see patients after they’ve read the book I can
often see a change in their faces”
“This is a book that helps patients empower themselves in their own healing. With this book, patients learn how to gain control over their chronic pelvic pain. It is not a hocus-pocus solution, it is a long-term program that must be adapted into one’s daily routine. I have witnessed firsthand how patients willing to change their behavior have been able to find healing…When I see patients after they’ve read the book I can often see a change in their faces. To understand that we have the ability to affect our own healing process can be life changing.”

“This has truly become the “Bible” for patients who suffer from pelvic floor muscle dysfunction”
"After reading over the 6th edition of A Headache in the Pelvis, all I can say is “Wow”…Drs. Wise and Anderson have done it again! This has truly become the “Bible” for patients, both men and women, who suffer from pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. The book demystifies a condition that is so frequently overlooked and often mistreated in clinical practice. It empowers the patient to be their own caregiver; while it encourages partnerships with clinicians who can be tremendously helpful in the patient’s path to symptom improvement. A Headache in the Pelvis is on the top of my recommendation list."

SCHEDULE OF 6 DAY CLINICS
Qualifying patients with pelvic pain can receive treatment in the monthly comprehensive 6 day Wise-Anderson Protocolimmersion clinics held in northern California. One of the central purposes of the clinic is to teach patients to self administer the Wise-Anderson Protocolat home so that little if any additional professional help is needed when patients return home. For information about eligibility for the clinic and a schedule of dates for these clinics, click below.
