Treatment Options for Female Sexual Dysfunction

Female sexual dysfunction can affect your self-esteem, happiness, relationship, and overall quality of life. Dr. Juan Guajardo, serving Brownsville & Harlingen, TX, understands the immense effect this can have on your life and can provide you with a treatment to increase your sexual desires, help you achieve orgasm, or make sex more comfortable.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Menopause can cause you to lose your sexual desires and make sex uncomfortable because you may not produce as much vaginal lubrication as before. The vaginal walls may also thin, contributing to discomfort.

We offer hormone replacement therapy to increase your level to make sex more comfortable and help you regain your sexual appetite.

We can provide this treatment as a patch, pill, cream, or pellets.

Before we prescribe this treatment, we'll measure your hormone levels to determine the right dosage to help you replenish your estrogen and possibly progesterone. 

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is another option treatment option at our office, serving Brownsville & Harlingen, TX, for sexual dysfunction. This particular treatment emits light energy to the vaginal walls and can also target the vulva and clitoris in the process. As the light hits the target area, it causes microinjuries to the tissue, which you won't be able to see. The body then sends healing factors and collagen to the region.

Ultimately, the treatment improves the thickness and elasticity of the vaginal walls, which can help make sex more comfortable. It also enhances lubrication and increases sensitivity. 

Medications

Sometimes, we'll determine a medication to be the most effective solution for your situation. For instance, if you're suffering from anxiety or depression, we may recommend an antidepressant to improve your mood and ease stress, which can impact your sex drive.

For instance, flibanserin or bremelanotide may be prescribed if you're premenopausal and not quite at the point where you need hormone replacement therapy.

Referral to a Specialist

If you're suffering from a mental disorder that could contribute to your dysfunction, we may recommend you see a psychiatric professional who can provide you with psychotherapy to help you resolve any issues that could be interfering with your libido.

This professional can also prescribe you a variety of medications to help with any mental health disorders that are interfering with your sex life.
