What kinds of sexual wellness issues can be treated?

At Idaho Health and Hormones, Cheryl offers sexual wellness treatments for the following intimate health issues:

• Erectile dysfunction
• Peyronie's disease (a condition in which scar tissue causes curved or painful erections)
• Vaginal health issues such as skin laxity, lubrication issues, and urinary incontinence
• Reduced sex drive
• Unsatisfying sexual performance

What are the treatment options for sexual wellness issues?

Your treatment will depend on your unique issues and health status. Some sexual health issues may be psychological in nature and require a different kind of therapeutic intervention. But at Idaho Health and Hormones, we offer treatment options such as:

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy

PRP therapy requires a simple blood draw. Afterward, the platelets from your blood are collected, isolated, and injected into the penis or vaginal wall to encourage tissue regrowth and blood flow for increased sensation, skin tightening, and more.

Medications

For men looking to treat erectile dysfunction, we offer Trimix or Cialis®. Trimix is an injection that widens blood vessels to increase blood flow to the penis. Cialis is an FDA-approved oral medication that relaxes blood vessels to increase blood flow.

Laser vaginal rejuvenation

Vaginal rejuvenation with FemiLift is used to help tighten the inside of the vagina, address issues with urinary incontinence, and treat vaginal dryness. During a 20-minute procedure, the laser is passed over inner and outer vaginal tissue, including the exterior of the labia and vulvar tissues, to stimulate collagen production. It's an outpatient treatment that almost immediately allows you to return to your daily routine.

Shockwave therapy

Shockwave therapy with the Alma Duo™ is a 15 – 20 minute procedure that uses low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT) to improve sexual performance by helping your body form new circulatory pathways and increase blood flow to the pelvic area. For men, shockwave therapy is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and Peyronie's disease. In women, it's used to improve vaginal sensitivity and tightness, increase the body's natural lubrication, and treat urinary incontinence.

Supplements

We use supplements containing nitric oxide to help men boost blood flow to the penis. Nitric oxide helps men maintain an erection by relaxing the vascular muscle and improving the dilation of the blood vessels.

In some cases, issues like weight can affect sexual function and fulfillment. Cheryl can help patients at Idaho Health and Hormones address their weight and help determine if the effects of diabetes or pre-diabetes may play a role in decreased sexual wellness. Weight can also affect the body's natural hormone production.
