Sexual Problems

Male sexual problems

Having difficulty with intimacy can be a complex problem. Your libido, or sexual desire, is a combination of the feelings you have for your partner, the appropriate balance of hormones in your system, blood flow to your genitalia, and the normal production of ejaculatory fluids. Stress, anxiety, weight gain, poor sleep, medications and other diseases can all play a role in sexual difficulties. Please see the PeeDoc to see if we can sort out what the problem is and come up with a plan to get you enjoying and having a satisfying intimate life again.

Female sexual problems

As women age, their bodies face a host of new changes, from a loss of elastin and collagen, to physical trauma associated with vaginal childbirth, to reduced estrogen. Vaginal discomfort such as dryness, burning and painful intercourse can be the end result. Making sure your hormones are at appropriate levels can be important for both libido and for sexual enjoyment.

There are also treatments for a seldom discussed problem, hypoactive sexual desire disorder, HSDD. Two recent drugs received FDA approval for this common but rarely discussed problem. See your doctor about AAddyi or Vyleesi.
