Medication: In the case of infection or inflammation, proper medication can be recommended by the doctor. To increase lubrication and estrogen level, topical estrogen can be applied directly to the vagina to offer the right amount of lubrication.
Therapy: This includes desensitization, sex therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Desensitization will include vaginal relaxation exercises to decrease pain. Sex therapy will help to counter the emotional problems so that women can feel comfortable while having sexual intercourse with the partner. Cognitive-behavioral therapy can also be helpful in changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. The therapies and counseling will work better to treat the sexual intercourse problems who are suffering from psychological issues.
