Does insurance cover dyspareunia treatment?
In the UK, NHS covers the diagnosis and most medical treatments for dyspareunia. For private care or international patients, coverage depends on the specific insurance policy and provider.
Detailed Medical Explanation
NHS patients in the UK can access investigations, consultations, and most treatments for sexual pain through their GP or specialist. Some advanced treatments (e.g. specialist physiotherapy, psychosexual therapy, or certain medications) may require a referral or have longer wait times. Private insurance plans vary, so check the policy’s exclusions and pre-authorisation requirements. NHS: How to Access Services.
