Dyspareunia, or pain during sexual intercourse, can be treated, although the treatment will depend on the underlying cause.
The first-line approach to dyspareunia involves local treatments based on the use of moisturizers and lubricants. In addition, creams containing estrogen or hyaluronic acid may be used. This treatment option reduces friction during intercourse, thereby alleviating pain.
Another alternative is hormone therapy or estrogen receptor modulators, as well as laser therapy.
