Abstract
ABSTRACT This article proposes a connection between autoimmune disorders and pain with sexual activity in ova-having individuals. The authors focus on accumulating research from psychology data, medical data, the field of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), and the field of sex therapy. Current research supports a connection between the mind-body bidirectionality and effects on the immune system, and effects of the mind-body bidirectionality and pain with sexual activity. Content analysis will first discuss the occurrence of autoimmune disorders in ova-having individuals from a PNI perspective followed by a discussion of the occurrence of sexual pain in ova-having individuals. Finally, the authors discuss the overlap in what is happening based upon psychoneuroimmunology and pain during sexual activity in ova-having individuals, as well as clinical implication and a call-to-action for further study of the link between autoimmune disorders and sexual pain.
