What positioning aids help with dyspareunia?
Positioning aids such as wedges, pillows, or soft supports can help women with dyspareunia find comfortable sexual positions and reduce pressure on sensitive areas.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Wedge cushions, soft bolsters, or adjustable pillows can help control penetration angle and depth, which may ease pain in certain positions. Experimenting with side-lying or woman-on-top positions can also offer more control and comfort. A physiotherapist can provide further advice on aids and ergonomics. Clinic: Pelvic Physiotherapy.
