Sexual health is a crucial aspect of your overall well-being. It involves a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships.

What is women’s sexual health?

Women’s sexual health care focuses on identifying and treating the emotional and physical problems that interfere with a fulfilling love life.

Many women experience changes in their ability to have and enjoy sex for many possible reasons, including:

  • Menopause (low estrogen)
  • Low testosterone
  • Pelvic floor disorders
  • Vaginal muscle spasms (vaginismus)
  • Depression or anxiety
  • Relationship problems
  • Gynecological conditions
  • Sexually transmitted diseases
  • Chronic health conditions

Several chronic health conditions can affect your sexual enjoyment. For example, diabetes affects your libido, and thyroid disease lowers your testosterone. Women need a small amount of testosterone to boost their sex drive.

What is dysfunction in women’s sexual health?

Sexual dysfunction in women refers to four challenges:

Lack of desire

Women struggling with a low sex drive is not uncommon. The problem may be temporary and caused by stress, fatigue, depression, or relationship issues. Or you might have a longer-lasting problem caused by imbalanced hormones or a medical condition.

Sexual arousal disorder

Sexual arousal disorder means you don’t respond to sexual stimulation. You may not have an emotional response, a physical response (lubrication), or both. Problems with arousal may be related to vaginal dryness, infections, blood vessel disease, and psychological issues.

Inability to orgasm

Not being able to orgasm is often associated with the same issues responsible for other sexual problems. You could also have nerve damage that interferes with sensation and prevents orgasm. Another common cause is painful intercourse.

Painful intercourse

After menopause, women often experience vaginal dryness that causes pain during intercourse. This frustrating problem also occurs when your vaginal muscles spasm or when you take birth control pills. Oral contraceptives can cause vaginal inflammation and tenderness.

How are women’s sexual health problems treated?

Your provider at Garcia Weight Loss Aesthetics & Hormone Therapy takes the time to learn about your symptoms and concerns. They assess your medical history and health and may do blood tests to uncover hormone imbalances.

Each woman’s treatment is based on the type and cause of her sexual problem. However, three treatments the providers at Garcia Weight Loss Aesthetics & Hormone Therapy often prescribe include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), oxytocin, and peptide therapy.

HRT treats problems like vaginal dryness associated with menopause. Oxytocin is a hormone that boosts sexual desire and orgasms. Peptide therapy duplicates hormonal activity that improves your sexual health.

What is the top men’s sexual health challenge?

Optimal sexual health encompasses all the physical, emotional, mental, and environmental factors that affect your ability to participate in and enjoy sex.

Men may have sexual health challenges, such as the loss of their sex drive and difficulties with ejaculation or experiencing an orgasm. But the most common problem is erectile dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) occurs if you can’t have an erection or keep it long enough for sexual intercourse.

Many men occasionally struggle with ED due to fatigue, stress, or relationship problems. ED that becomes an ongoing problem usually has an underlying cause, such as:

  • High cholesterol
  • High blood pressure
  • Low testosterone
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Peyronie’s disease
  • Neurologic disease
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity

Any health condition or lifestyle habit (like smoking) that restricts blood flow to your penis can interfere with your ability to have an erection.

How are men’s sexual health problems treated?

Your provider at Garcia Weight Loss Aesthetics & Hormone Therapy treats ED with one of the following:

dietary-suplement

Medications like Viagra® (sildenafil) and Cialis® (tadalafil) improve blood flow by blocking enzymes that tighten blood vessels in your penis. As the vessels relax, blood flow increases, and you have a strong, sustainable erection. 

Each medication takes effect at a different rate and lasts for a specific length of time. Your provider explains each one, how to use them, and what to expect.

rejuvenate

Peptides are small proteins naturally found in your body, where they serve as hormones and trigger cellular activities. Synthetically produced peptides mimicking those in your body can improve your sexual desire and ability to have an erection.

How do I get men’s sexual health medications?

Garcia Weight Loss Aesthetics & Hormone Therapy offers an easy, secure process for getting ED medications. You complete the form available on their secure patient management program. After reviewing your information, they contact you, discuss your options, and then ship your medication in discreet packaging.

Your provider can also send the prescription to your local pharmacy if you prefer. However, pharmacy medications usually cost more. 

If you want help with ED, call Garcia Weight Loss Aesthetics & Hormone Therapy or request a consultation online today.
