I’m a woman experiencing painful sex. What’s going on?

Many women who come to us to improve their sexual wellness in Lancaster experience painful sex. One common reason for this is vaginal dryness. This can occur after childbirth, breastfeeding, or taking certain medications. Lack of arousal may also be a contributing factor. Menopause is another common cause of vaginal dryness. When the ovaries stop the production of estrogen, the source of vaginal moisture, the vagina dries out. This condition is called atrophic vaginitis. Another common cause of painful sex is pelvic floor dysfunction. This can result from giving birth, urinary issues such as interstitial cystitis, and other conditions. Vaginal dryness, loss of sexual desire, and pelvic floor dysfunction are treatable. Whatever the case may be, our nurse practitioners will work to determine what treatments are best for you.

Am I still a candidate for treatment if I have had breast cancer in the past?

Yes! If your oncologist has told you that you are not a candidate for hormone therapy, we have several FDA-approved medications to help. Addyi (Flibanserin) is a hormone-free prescription that treats low sexual desire. When you come to us for sexual wellness in Lancaster, we also offer several topical creams to increase sensation. Vaginal dryness is a frequent concern for cancer survivors, and Addyi has also been shown to increase vaginal moisture, making sex more pleasurable. A better sex life is possible without the use of hormones. At Medical Spa NP, we’re here to make that possibility your reality.

Why have I lost the desire to have sex?

Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) is a lack or absence of sexual fantasies or desire for sexual activity. It occurs in both men and women but is more common in women. To restore sexual desire, we first need to identify the cause. Often, a hormonal imbalance may be the root issue. To address this, we can turn to hormone replacement therapy or pharmaceutical solutions. If you are not a candidate for hormone therapy, Addyi (Flibanserin), or “the pink pill,” can increase sexual desire. This drug works by addressing your brain chemistry. It is hormone-free and safe for use in both men and women. Our nurse practitioners will discuss which treatments are right for you.

Fast, Friendly, Professional...

The girls here are absolutely amazing. They are friendly and treat people with respect and kindness. I was referred and within two weeks everything about my test levels was examined explained and executed upon. I have a full working knowledge of what's happening inside my body and what we are doing to fix these things. I never once felt out of place, a nuisance or even nervous. They are really smart and if you are a middle aged man struggling with issues concerning your testosterone you need to go see Medical Spa in Lancaster. Fast, Friendly, Professional and you will leave smarter than you was when you arrived.
