Levels of Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD)
**It is up to your doctor or evaluate you and determine underlying causes of what you are experiencing.
Many primary care physicians / Ob Gyn physicians do not ask and so the patient does not tell. This is not because doctors do not want to help, rather it is an area that we do not learn much about in traditional medicine. The patient may get one or two questions in but there is not a deep dive into what might be bothering you. We do not ask if we do not have solutions. Traditional medicine is lacking education on Female Sexual Dysfunction and solutions.
With almost 50% of women experiencing a problem with sex, physicians need to take a more active role in helping with solutions.
Studies show that the % of Female Sexual Dysfunction goes up with menopause from 44% to 88%. This is in all areas:
This part one on Women and Sex is an overview of habits that help and possible root causes of sexual dysfunction.

Just to show so many NT and Hormones involved in sexuality.
There is a web of hormonal balancing. Find a provider that will thoroughly evaluate these hormones and is a specialist in Bio-identical Hormone replacement Therapy (HRT).
They all play a role. Testosterone is a hormone of large production in women. We have low-T centers for Men but women need testosterone as well. Testosterone declines sharply between the ages of 18-34.
Studies show that 25% of women with Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) have low testosterone. That percentage can be as high as 75% in Post menopausal women.
There are so many local regenerative non surgical vaginal rejuvenation procedures that can help with many of these anatomic causes. At our Sexual Wellness Center Vaginal rejuvenation can involve non ablative laser treatments. The O-Shot is extremely helpful for vaginal rejuvenation and this is an great stand alone service that can be done if hormones are not an option due to history of breast cancer.
It is important we talk about sex. At RevitalyzeMD, we want to provide a warm, relaxed and conducive environment to open conversations you may not be having in the home, with friends and with your medical provider. Women and sex can be complex. There are lots of hormones in play and these must be adequately checked, optimized and balanced. Both physiological and psychological causes need to be explored.
