Dyspareunia refers to painful sexual intercourse in women or men, which can be superficial or deep, and may occur before, during, or after intercourse. It is a common complaint in gynecological and urological practice and may affect physical, emotional, and relational well-being.

Causes:

• Gynecological: Vaginal dryness, infections (candida, bacterial vaginosis), endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease
• Hormonal: Low estrogen levels, menopause, postpartum changes
• Structural/Anatomical: Vaginal stenosis, adhesions, cysts, pelvic organ prolapse
• Psychological: Anxiety, fear, previous trauma, relationship issues
• Systemic: Diabetes, neurological disorders, chronic illnesses
• Medication-induced: Antidepressants, hormonal contraceptives

Symptoms:

• Pain during penetration (superficial) or deep thrusts (deep dyspareunia)
• Burning, stinging, or aching sensation in genital area
• Vaginal dryness or tightness
• Anxiety or anticipatory fear of intercourse
• Secondary emotional distress or avoidance of sexual activity

Complications:
If untreated, dyspareunia may lead to sexual dysfunction, relationship strain, reduced quality of life, and psychological distress.

Conventional management includes lubricants, hormonal therapy, pelvic floor physiotherapy, counseling, and treatment of underlying pathology, while homoeopathy addresses constitutional susceptibility, local irritation, and psychosomatic factors..

Homoeopathy treats dyspareunia by addressing both local symptoms and constitutional predispositions, considering emotional, psychological, and systemic factors. Remedies are individualized based on nature of pain, aggravating and relieving factors, associated genital or systemic symptoms, and emotional state.

The approach aims to:

Address psychological and emotional contributors

Relieve pain during intercourse

Reduce burning, stinging, or tightness

Support vaginal moisture and tissue health
