Medical term for Wednesday

dyspareunia
pain during sexual intercourse


I came right over here to put this one on the computer because it baffled me looking at it. Past "dys-" which just means "bad" or painful, I didn't see any word roots to latch onto for this one. Turns out that's because the main root is Greek: pareunos, which meas "lying beside". Don't throw this greek stuff at me, people - it's too late at night and I just don't do Greek.

Oh, I did take my third test last week; it was another 96. (Don't ask me what I missed on this one; I've wiped it from my mind already.) So I am now past all of that and can move on to the female reproductive system and pregnancy and birth, thus the choice of word.

I figured there'd be a name for that, just didn't know what it was.

Like the icon, btw!
