Has your enjoyment and interest in sex waned?

Female Sexual Dysfunction

A man and woman smile at the camera as the woman hugs the man from behind, celebrating their treatment of female sexual dysfunction.

Female Sexual Dysfunction affects thousands of women, especially as they age.

Loss of libido and satisfaction can hurt your confidence, create issues in romantic relationships, and decrease your overall quality of life. Other symptoms like vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse can make intimacy difficult.

Luckily, there are treatments to help. Defy Medical offers effective FSD therapies via telemedicine.

Symptoms of Female Sexual Dysfunction

  • Low sexual desire or libido (Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder or HSDD)
  • Difficulty becoming aroused or maintaining arousal
  • Inability to orgasm
  • Vaginal dryness or pain during intimacy

Female Sexual Dysfunction Treatments

We offer a range of therapies to address FSD. These treatments can help with vaginal pain and discomfort during intercourse, lack of sex drive, and more.

Patients also find success in combining FSD treatments for a comprehensive care plan.

Hormone Therapy

Hormone deficiency is the most common cause of Female Sexual Dysfunction. Other treatments can provide relief from symptoms, but Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) targets the root cause of hormone-related FSD.

Bremelanotide (PT-141)

Bremelanotide acts on the central nervous system to improve sexual desire. It has shown as much as a 50% increase in sexually satisfying experiences for women.

Vasodilators

Vasodilators help relax smooth muscle and improve blood flow to intimate areas for an increased response. Vasodilators are common treatments for men, but they show promise in easing FSD, as well.

Topical Libido Creams

These creams are applied to intimate areas to help improve blood flow, sensation, and responsiveness. Many women benefit from the physical response caused by libido creams.

Oxytocin

Also called the Hormone of Love, Oxytocin has shown promise in encouraging relaxation and connection for improved intimacy.

PRP Injections

Platelet rich plasma includes healing growth factors that can encourage tissue repair. When injected into intimate areas, PRP can help with pain during intercourse and lack of sensation. (Performed in-office at the Tampa clinic.)

Causes of Female Sexual Dysfunction

FSD can be caused by physical and psychological issues. That’s why it’s important to work with an experienced provider who can offer a wide range of treatment options.

Causes of FSD include:

  • Hormone imbalance and menopause
  • Aging
  • Certain medications and medical conditions
  • Emotional turmoil and stress
  • Anxiety and depression
