Treatments for Sexual Health Concerns

Women’s Viagra (Flibanserin)
Also known by its brand name Addyi, this FDA-approved daily pill boosts libido by increasing key brain neurotransmitters. It’s designed specifically for women with low sexual desire not caused by other medical or psychiatric conditions.

Painful Intercourse
Often linked to vaginal dryness, this can be addressed with lubricants, hormone therapies, or other targeted treatments to restore comfort and enjoyment.

Hormonal Changes
Declining hormones with age can lower libido and energy. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can rebalance levels and help restore sexual desire and wellbeing.

Sexual Dysfunction
Includes challenges with arousal, desire, pain, or orgasm. A provider may perform exams or tests to determine underlying causes, then recommend treatments such as lifestyle adjustments, flibanserin, or hormonal therapy.

Screening & Preventive Services

STD & STI Testing
Routine screenings are essential for all sexually active women. Depending on the infection, your provider may perform a urine test, blood test, or swab to diagnose and treat conditions early.

Pelvic Exams
A key part of routine OB-GYN visits or follow-up for pelvic pain. Your provider will examine reproductive organs to check for abnormalities or signs of infection.

HPV Vaccination
Protects against strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) that are the leading cause of cervical cancer. Recommended for teens and young adults, and available through many OB-GYN practices.
