What is Female Sexual Dysfunction?
Female sexual dysfunction is a broad term encompassing many issues that affect your ability to desire and enjoy sex. The most common types of female sexual dysfunction in Portland OR include:
- Low sex drive
- Difficulty achieving or maintaining arousal
- Persistent difficulty achieving orgasm
- Sexual pain or discomfort
When these problems become persistent and begin to cause your or your partner distress, you should at least consider seeing a doctor who specializes in treating female sexual dysfunction in Portland OR.
Menopause Makes it Worse
For many women, menopause is the first time they have trouble in the bedroom. Why? Because menopause affects levels of many different hormones related to sex, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. This causes problems like:
- Fragile vaginal tissue and reduced lubrication due to low estrogen
- Fewer urges to initiate sex due to low progesterone
- Reduced sensitivity affecting arousal due to low estrogen
- Difficulty achieving orgasm due to low testosterone
When these vital hormones are restored to healthy levels in the body, women naturally find themselves wanting and enjoying sex more. As an added bonus, balanced hormones also relieve many other menopause symptoms and help protect women’s overall health.
Treatment Options for Female Sexual Dysfunction in Portland OR
Don’t fall victim to the myth that some degree of sexual dysfunction is “normal” for women as they age. At Renew Youth™, we have many treatment options for female sexual dysfunction in Portland OR for you to try.
• Hormone Replacement Therapy: Balanced hormones are the first line of defense against all kinds of female sexual dysfunction symptoms. We can bring your hormones into a healthy, youthful balance with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. This treatment will be personalized based on your lab results and your symptoms, and you can rest assured we will work hard to help you find the balance you need to relieve all your sexual dysfunction symptoms.
• Treatments for Low Libido: Both mind and body are involved in sexual desire. We offer treatments to support both. For example, we can prescribe apomorphine to stimulate dopamine in the brain and enhance sexual response and L-Arginine or Sildenafil to enhance genital blood flow and arousal.
• Oxytocin Treatment: For women who have issues mainly with orgasm, oxytocin treatment can provide relief. Sometimes called the “love hormone,” oxytocin should spike during foreplay to pave the way for a strong orgasm. By providing you with a prescription oxytocin nasal spray to use before sex, we can replace the “love hormone” your body may be missing and enhance both orgasms and the overall sexual experience.
• Vaginal Estrogen Cream: Topical estrogen cream can be very effective in rejuvenating vaginal tissue to relieve vaginal dryness. The estrogen in the cream is strong enough to provide relief, but mild enough to be used without affecting your overall hormone balance.
