Let’s talk about sex, baby.

Sexual Health:

  • Sexual symptoms are extremely common. The women’s sexual response relies on numerous variables. Desire, decreased response, pain, and dryness may impact sexual health.

  • Hormones are a very important piece; in particular, testosterone. Fifty percent of women after menopause develop low testosterone. Furthermore, many medications such as SSRI and birth control pills can suppress testosterone production.

  • Treatment is multifactorial; sometimes requiring sexual health counseling, couples therapy, topical products, hormones, supplements, and FDA approved medications that are approved for conditions such as hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Check if your symptoms fit here: HSDD Symptom Screener
