Sexual dysfunction refers to a wide array of symptoms that affect many women throughout different phases of sexual arousal and excitation. Symptoms can include loss of libido, decreased vaginal lubrication, reduced genital sensitivity, often resulting in anorgasmia (inability to achieve an orgasm), and dyspareunia (painful intercourse). These conditions often develop from several contributing factors, including: Menopause, Metabolic Disease, such as Diabetes, Hypertension, and Cardiovascular Disease, use of certain medications, such as Anti-Depressants and Oral Contraceptives, or pre-existing conditions like Endometriosis or Ovarian Cysts. Untreated sexual dysfunction can cause loss of self-confidence, frustration, and conflict within interpersonal relationships, so it is important patient’s suffering with sexual dysfunction seek care from a trained medical professional.   

How is Female Sexual Dysfunction treated?  

Clitoral and G-Spot Rejuvenation: The is a series of small, localized injections in the clitoris, near the urethra, and the intravaginal wall. The procedure is performed with PRP or an umbilical allograft. The stimulates rejuvenation of previously damaged or deteriorated endothelial cells in the blood vessels of the urogenital region helping return appropriate blood flow and improved sexual arousal. The is also beneficial in females suffering with urinary incontinence. It also aids in rejuvenation of the erectile tissue of the clitoris, improving sensitivity to stimulation, excitation, and the capability to achieve an orgasm. Patients who undergo the procedure may also experience additional benefits, including: improved capability to achieve an orgasm from vaginal penetration, smoother, healthier skin of the vulva, improved vaginal lubrication, the capability to achieve multiple orgasms, reduced or alleviated pain with intercourse (if previously experienced prior to the ). The can be performed as monotherapy or utilized in combination with topical medications or peptide therapies like PT141.

Localized Testosterone & Estrogen: Localized (vaginal) application of testosterone and estrogen is a low-risk and highly effective means of improving sexual arousal and response of genital tissue for women. Testosterone improves the health of vestibular tissue and enhances clitoral sensitivity, stopping pain with vaginal penetration and enhancing genital sensitivity, allowing patients to experience a more fulfilling and enjoyable sex life. Estrogen increases blood flow to the urogenital region, preventing vaginal atrophy, as well as improving mucosal membrane health, allowing patients to maintain appropriate lubrication without the assistance of additional creams or water-based personal lubricants. Localized therapy can be used in combination with systemic hormone replacement or as a therapy by itself.
