Do pelvic support cushions help dyspareunia?
Yes, pelvic support cushions can help relieve pelvic pain and provide comfort during sitting, and may support better positioning for intercourse in women with dyspareunia.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Specialised cushions—such as memory foam, ring, or wedge designs—relieve pressure on sensitive pelvic areas, improve comfort during daily activities, and may be used during intimacy for better support and positioning. Cushions do not treat the underlying cause of pain but are a useful comfort aid. Clinic: Pelvic Physiotherapy.
Clinical Context
Pelvic cushions may help manage both sexual and nonsexual pain. If pain persists, seek further medical evaluation.
