Can you get dyspareunia treatment through telehealth?
Yes, initial assessment and some ongoing management for dyspareunia can be provided through telehealth, including advice, prescription reviews, counselling, and referral for further investigations.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Telehealth is ideal for discussing symptoms, receiving education, reviewing medications, arranging laboratory tests, and starting psychological therapy.

Clinical Context
