Sex
Let’s talk about sex. This is not a topic to be avoided or shamed, it is one that should be discussed openly and freely, not only amongst couples but with your medical provider. Sex is an important part of life and well-being. It has physical, psychological, emotional, intellectual, and social benefits, and orgasm plays a significant role in bonding. Sex extends beyond reproduction, including both intimacy and pleasure. Men can have a nearly 36% risk reduction of prostate cancer, while women may have protection against endometriosis, just from a healthy sex life. A research study found that individuals who have “frequent orgasms” have a 50% lower mortality risk, or risk of death.

Sexual Dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction is reported to affect more than 40% of women and 30% of men, with those numbers on the rise. There are 4 phases of what is referred to as the sexual response cycle, and sexual dysfunction is defined as an issue during any of the phases that prevents the individual or couple from experiencing satisfaction. Sexual dysfunction extends far beyond just the ability to orgasm. The phases include excitement-both desire and arousal, plateau, orgasm and resolution. There are 4 categories of sexual dysfunction disorders- desire, arousal, orgasm and pain disorders. While these disorders are extremely common and can affect anyone of any age, there is often hesitancy to discuss, not only with significant others but with medical professionals also.

How is Sexual Dysfunction Diagnosed?
One of the key factors in treating sexual disorders is the awareness and admittance of a concern. The individual awareness of an issue will be key to proper treatment as well as the initiation of a conversation with your significant other. Once you have established what not only your concerns are but your partner’s, you need to discuss those with your medical provider or one trained to treat sexual dysfunction. Commonly, a medical history including health conditions and medications, a physical and some lab work can assist in confirming a cause or diagnosis. At Re-new, our trained medical providers work with you and determine your goals to find the treatment option(s) that are best suited for you, while offering innovative therapies beyond “the norm.”
What treatments exist for sexual dysfunction disorders?
Believe it or not, the list is extensive and continually growing. For men, it is commonly thought that Cialis or Viagra are the only options to treat erectile dysfunction. And most women are at a loss knowing what their options even are. While there are treatments that are specific to men and those that are specific to women, others are safe for both and can increase passion and intimacy when utilized as a couple. There are medications that can be taken as needed prior to intercourse and those that are taken daily for those wanting more spontaneity or desire frequent intercourse with their partner. Treatments include oral medications, sublingual troches, and injectable peptide therapies. Sexual disorder treatments also extend beyond medications. There are biologics treatments for both men and women, commonly referred to as the O- or Orgasm Shot™ for women, and the P-, or Priapus Shot™, for men. Other treatments include ECSW or extra-corporeal shockwave therapy, commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction in men but has increasing data for improving orgasm in women. Sexual dysfunction therapies can incorporate vacuum devices (pumps), toys, dilators, sex therapy, behavioral treatments, and education. Click the appropriate gender tab below to learn more.
