Abstract
Background
Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia) is common in postpartum women. This often leads to prolonged abstinence from sex due to anxiety, fear, and a feeling of not being ready to meet basic needs, even though they are physically ready. Using lemon aromatherapy before intercourse can help reduce this pain.
Objectives
The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of lemon aromatherapy and age on dyspareunia in postpartum mothers.
