Pelvic pain and discomfort
Vaginal tightness or spasms
It’s essential to note that dyspareunia symptoms can vary depending on the underlying cause, a thorough evaluation is crucial for the right dyspareunia treatment in Dubai.
Understanding the causes of dyspareunia
- Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining develops outside the uterus, often causing pain during deep penetration.
- Infections and inflammation: Conditions such as yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections (UTIs), or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can cause irritation and discomfort during intercourse.
- Hormonal changes: Estrogen deficiency during menopause, postpartum, or breastfeeding can lead to vaginal dryness and thinning of the vaginal walls, resulting in pain.
- Vaginismus: The involuntary tightening of vaginal muscles, making penetration difficult or painful.
- Medical treatments: Procedures like chemotherapy, radiation, or hysterectomy can alter vaginal tissue, leading to discomfort during intercourse.
- Pelvic floor disorders: Tight or weak pelvic muscles can lead to involuntary contractions or insufficient support, making penetration painful.
- Allergies or irritants: Some personal care products, soaps, scented tampons, or latex condoms may trigger vaginal irritation and discomfort.
- Ovarian cysts: Large cysts or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may cause deep pain during intercourse.
- Psychological factors: Emotional and psychological factors are crucial in sexual health. Conditions like anxiety, depression, past trauma, or relationship issues can contribute to pain during intercourse.
Effective dyspareunia treatment in Dubai
Dr. Marwa ElAjami offers a range of tailored treatments to address dyspareunia, depending on its cause:
- Hormonal therapy: For women experiencing vaginal dryness due to menopause or hormonal imbalances, estrogen therapy (topical creams, tablets, or rings) can help restore moisture and elasticity to vaginal tissues.
- Lubricants and moisturizers: Using water-based lubricants and vaginal moisturizers can significantly reduce friction and enhance comfort during intimacy.
- Medications: Depending on the underlying cause, antibiotics for infections, muscle relaxants for pelvic floor dysfunction, or pain-relief medications may be prescribed.
- Surgical treatments: In cases of severe endometriosis, fibroids, or structural abnormalities, surgical intervention may be required to alleviate pain.
- Pelvic floor physical therapy: Pelvic floor therapy helps strengthen or relax the pelvic muscles, reduce pain, and improve sexual function. Techniques may include exercises, biofeedback, and relaxation strategies.
- Counseling and psychotherapy: For women experiencing dyspareunia due to anxiety, stress, or past trauma, therapy can be beneficial in addressing emotional barriers to pain-free intimacy. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and sex therapy can help improve sexual well-being.
- Communication and relationship counseling: Open communication with a partner and professional counseling can help address emotional aspects of dyspareunia, reducing stress and improving intimacy.
