What Is Sexual Rehabilitation?
Sexual rehabilitation helps people return to enjoyable intimacy after changes in health. You may need it after childbirth, surgery, cancer, or emotional stress.
Doctors may classify pain or discomfort into three types:
- Superficial: pain at the skin or opening
- Deep: pain with deeper touch or penetration
- Provoked: pain in certain positions or during movement
Knowing your type helps you choose the right support.
Why Do People Need Sexual Rehabilitation?
Emotional reasons:
- Stress or burnout
- Past trauma
- Fear of intimacy
- Relationship challenges
Physical reasons:
- Recovery after childbirth or surgery
- Hormonal changes (menopause, low testosterone)
- Pelvic floor muscle issues
- Chronic pain or infections
Most people have a mix of emotional and physical reasons. A whole-person plan works best.
