How do I manage symptoms of dyspareunia?

There are some things you can do on your own to manage the pain you feel during or after sex:

• Use a water- or silicone-based lubricant to help with vaginal dryness.
• Try sexual activities or positions that do not cause pain.
• Take over-the-counter pain reliever before sex.
• Find time to relax and de-stress before having sex.
• Apply ice packs to the vulva after sexual intercourse.
