Common Concerns Addressed Through Sexual Health & Vitality Care
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is the ongoing difficulty getting or maintaining an erection firm enough for sex. It often reflects reduced blood flow and can be an early sign of heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure, which is why a medical evaluation matters.
Low Libido in Men and Women
Reduced sexual desire can result from low testosterone, menopause, thyroid disorders, depression, relationship stress, poor sleep, or medications such as certain antidepressants. Sexual Health & Vitality treatment starts by identifying which factors apply to you.
Vaginal Dryness and Painful Intercourse
Declining estrogen during perimenopause and menopause thins vaginal tissue and reduces natural lubrication, leading to discomfort, irritation, and pain during intimacy. This condition, called genitourinary syndrome of menopause, typically worsens without treatment.
Arousal and Orgasm Difficulties
Difficulty with arousal or orgasm can have physical, hormonal, and emotional components. Your provider will review all contributing factors as part of your sexual health plan.
Sexual Health & Vitality Treatment Options
Oral ED Medications
PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil and tadalafil improve blood flow and are the first-line treatment for erectile dysfunction. Tadalafil can be taken daily at a low dose or as needed before intimacy.
Hormone Optimization
When labs confirm low testosterone, testosterone therapy may improve libido and energy. For women, estrogen therapy and in some cases low-dose testosterone can restore desire and comfort. Hormone treatment is coordinated with our Hormonal (HRT) Therapy services.
Vaginal Estrogen and Moisturizers
Low-dose vaginal estrogen creams, tablets, or rings rebuild vaginal tissue and restore lubrication with minimal absorption into the bloodstream. Non-hormonal moisturizers and lubricants are also recommended as part of Sexual Health & Vitality care.
Libido-Focused Prescriptions
Bremelanotide (PT-141) is an FDA-approved injectable for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Your provider will explain whether it or other prescription options are appropriate for you.

Sexual Health & Vitality Frequently Asked Questions
What does Sexual Health & Vitality treatment include?
Sexual Health & Vitality treatment includes medical evaluation, lab work, and prescription therapies for erectile dysfunction, low libido, vaginal dryness, and painful intercourse. Plans may involve oral medications, hormone therapy, vaginal estrogen, or libido-focused prescriptions.
What causes erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is most often caused by reduced blood flow from conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and smoking. Low testosterone, medications, stress, and poor sleep can also contribute.
Is erectile dysfunction a sign of heart disease?
It can be. The arteries supplying the penis are smaller than those in the heart, so ED sometimes appears years before cardiovascular symptoms. A medical evaluation helps identify these risks early.
What is the difference between sildenafil and tadalafil?
Sildenafil typically works for about four to six hours and is taken before sexual activity. Tadalafil lasts up to 36 hours and can also be taken as a low daily dose for more spontaneity.
Can low testosterone cause low libido?
Yes. Low testosterone is a common cause of reduced sex drive in men and can also affect desire in women. Blood tests confirm whether hormone levels are contributing.
How do you treat vaginal dryness after menopause?
Low-dose vaginal estrogen is the most effective treatment for menopausal vaginal dryness. Regular vaginal moisturizers and lubricants during intercourse also help, and systemic hormone therapy may be considered when other menopause symptoms are present.
What is PT-141?
PT-141, or bremelanotide, is an FDA-approved injectable medication that acts on brain pathways involved in sexual desire. It is approved for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
Are Sexual Health & Vitality visits confidential?
Yes. All consultations, lab results, and treatment details are private and protected under medical privacy laws.
Can medications affect sexual function?
Yes. Some antidepressants, blood pressure medications, and hormonal contraceptives can lower libido or affect arousal and erections. Your provider will review your medication list.
Do women benefit from sexual health treatment?
Absolutely. Women experiencing low desire, dryness, pain, or arousal difficulties can benefit from hormone therapy, vaginal treatments, and prescription options tailored to their stage of life.
How soon will I see results?
ED medications work within an hour of the dose. Vaginal estrogen typically improves comfort within several weeks, and hormone-related libido changes develop over two to three months.
