A dispareunia feminina apresenta caráter multifatorial, envolvendo componentes físicos, psicológicos, musculares, sexuais e relacionais. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a influência dos aspectos psicológicos e da atividade física na dispareunia feminina, bem como as estratégias de cuidado interdisciplinar empregadas no manejo da dor e da disfunção sexual. Realizou-se revisão integrativa da literatura, com buscas em PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACS e Google Acadêmico, considerando estudos publicados entre 2016 e 2026. Foram incluídos estudos primários que abordaram dispareunia, fatores psicológicos, atividade física, função sexual ou intervenções terapêuticas relacionadas. Os achados evidenciaram associação entre dispareunia, ansiedade, catastrofização da dor e sofrimento sexual. Intervenções fisioterapêuticas e psicológicas apresentaram resultados favoráveis, principalmente sobre dor e função sexual. A atividade física mostrou potencial contribuição, embora com evidências específicas ainda limitadas. Concluiu-se que o cuidado interdisciplinar e individualizado é fundamental.
