Low libido isn't just in your head — and it's treatable.
Low desire, dryness, sex that's become painful — these are real, common, and medical. If you've been told it's "just aging," you deserve a physician who takes it seriously and looks for the cause.
No pressure, no judgment — just a conversation about what's going on and whether we can help.
YOU DESERVE TO BE BELIEVED
You're not broken. And you deserve to be believed.
So many women are told this is "just part of getting older," or that it's stress, or that it's all in their head. It isn't. Changes in desire, comfort, arousal, and intimacy are driven by real hormonal and physiological shifts — and they respond to real treatment. You deserve a clinician who takes it seriously and actually looks for the cause.
Here, you won't have to convince anyone that what you're feeling is real. It is real. And it's treatable.
WHAT WE ACTUALLY TREAT
Real, common, and treatable.
Low desire / low libido (HSDD)
When your sex drive has dropped and it bothers you — that distress is exactly what makes it a treatable medical condition, not a willpower problem. We look at hormones and health, not blame.
Vaginal dryness & discomfort (GSM)
Dryness, burning, irritation, and thinning tissue. This is Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause — a real, treatable medical syndrome, not "just a little dryness."
Painful intimacy (dyspareunia)
Sex that hurts is a signal with a physical cause — not something to push through, and not "in your head."
Arousal & orgasm changes
Trouble getting or staying aroused, or reaching orgasm the way you used to.
The hormonal shifts behind it (peri/menopause)
When perimenopause or menopause is quietly driving the changes.
If what you're feeling isn't on this list, book the call anyway — we'll figure it out together.
WHAT TREATMENT CAN LOOK LIKE
Real options — matched to the cause, not a one-size protocol.
There's no single fix, because there's no single cause. We start by understanding why this is happening — hormones, tissue health, medications, stress, and more — then match the treatment to you. Options can include:
Local vaginal estrogen or DHEA — first-line for dryness, discomfort, and GSM; very little is absorbed into the bloodstream.
Physician-supervised testosterone therapy — for postmenopausal low desire (HSDD), carefully dosed. Supported as an evidence-based option by ISSWSH and The Menopause Society. Note: testosterone is not FDA-approved for women in the U.S. and is prescribed off-label; we'll discuss whether it's right for you.
FDA-approved desire medications — such as Addyi (flibanserin) and Vyleesi (bremelanotide), for premenopausal women with acquired HSDD, may be an option.
Pelvic floor physical therapy — when muscle tension or dysfunction is part of the picture.
Moisturizers, lubricants & lifestyle support — often alongside the above.
You won't be pushed onto anything. We'll talk through what fits you — and you decide.
Individual results vary. Treatments are prescribed only after evaluation and are not guaranteed. Some medications are used off-label; this is discussed during care.
