How Can I Improve My Sexual Wellness?

A person’s sexual wellness can be an important part of their overall health and sense of self-confidence. When you begin to experience the symptoms of sexual dysfunction, it can be difficult to cope with. Luckily, at Revive MD Center in Glen Allen, VA, we know that treatments for sexual rejuvenation, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), O-Shot, and P-Shot are all good options to consider.

How Can I Improve My Sexual Wellness?

The key to improving your sexual wellness is to find a treatment that can address all of your symptoms. Depending on your symptoms, the root cause of your sexual dysfunction can vary. Most of the time, sexual dysfunction is caused by a combination of age-related and hormone changes that have a direct impact on the normal function of sex organs, libido, and more, such as stress.

The two main options you will have for your sexual rejuvenation treatments include HRT and injectable PRP solutions.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone replacement therapy is typically done with bioidentical hormones, which are more easily used by the body than artificial hormones. Because bioidentical hormones are compatible with the human body, you will experience fewer side effects and better results with this treatment.

Hormone replacement therapy will generally be used to correct the balance of your hormones, which may change as a result of aging or due to hormonal shifts associated with pregnancy.

What Can You Expect From HRT?

HRT is performed with pellet injections, which are a special type of hormone delivery system that releases a steady dosage of primary sex hormones throughout the month. The pellets used for pellet therapy are about the size of a grain of rice and can be injected into the fatty tissue of the lower hip or buttocks.

You should expect your treatment to take about 20 minutes. Your hormone therapy with pellets will be customized to suit the level of hormones that are already present in your blood work. This means that each of your pellet therapy dosages will be customized to meet your precise needs.

What Is Your Recovery Like?

You may have a few restrictions. For example, you should avoid putting any pressure on the area where the pellet has been inserted into your body. This means you may need to sleep on your stomach or side. You should also avoid hot water and intense physical activity for at least 24 to 48 hours.

How Long Will Results Last?

The results of your pellet therapy will usually last for about three to four months most of the time. Your gender may impact how long your results will last. For example, women may only experience results that last for three to four months, while men may experience results that last for four to five months. The results of this treatment will be gradual as hormones are slowly absorbed by your body.

O Shot and P Shot

The O-Shot and P-Shot are treatments that are designed to improve the health of sexual organs. Each of these treatments is used to increase blood flow, nerve sensitivity, and overall function of sex organs to improve sexual experiences without oral medications. These treatments are a good option for people who are looking for a more natural solution for sexual dysfunction.

What Can You Expect From These Injections?

The shots used for using these treatments are formulated with platelet-rich plasma, which is derived from the healing plasma found in your body. For these treatments, a blood sample will be taken on the day of your appointment, which will then be used to create the PRP solution that will be injected into the sexual organs.

For women, injections are typically made in at least two spots, the G-spot and the clitoris. Sometimes, the labia is also injected based on the severity of your symptoms. For men, several injections will be made into the penile tissue. If this treatment is being used to correct Peyronie’s disease, then injections will be made into scar tissue.

What Should You Do Before Treatment?

Before these treatments, you may want to stop using medications that cause blood thinning. This can include aspirin and some heart medications. You may also need to stop blood-thinning supplements, such as ginkgo, vitamin E, and fish oil. These medications and supplements should be discontinued for at least seven days before your treatment.

What Should You Do After Treatment?

After your treatment, you will not have very many restrictions. For the most part, you will be able to resume your normal daily activities. For women, it may be recommended to avoid sexual activity for at least 24 to 48 hours. You will also need to avoid hot water on any treatment area for at least 24 hours.

How Long Will Results Last?

The results of these injectable treatments for sexual wellness will generally last for about 18 to 24 months. This means that you’ll be able to enjoy long-lasting results without constant follow-up appointments. The severity of your symptoms may influence how long your results will last.

What Are Symptoms of Sexual Dysfunction?

The symptoms of sexual dysfunction can be difficult to cope with and frustrating to live with. Both men and women will experience many of the same symptoms of lower libido, but other symptoms will be determined by your gender.

Women

Women will generally experience sexual dysfunction with symptoms such as a lack of natural lubrication, painful intercourse, and an inability to reach orgasm. This treatment will increase the blood flow to the vagina which will encourage more natural lubrication and more nerve sensitivity.

Men

Men who are experiencing sexual dysfunction will usually have trouble developing and sustaining an erection and may face premature ejaculation. Some men with certain conditions may also experience painful erections. This treatment can address all of these symptoms at one time.

Will Symptoms Get Better Naturally?

The symptoms of sexual dysfunction usually do not get better naturally. For sexual dysfunction that is caused by a hormonal imbalance, the symptoms of low sexual drive and other sexual dysfunction can continue to worsen as you age if you do not seek treatment.

Are You a Good Candidate?

Most people who are dealing with symptoms of sexual dysfunction are good candidates for treatments such as hormone therapy or platelet-rich plasma injections. You can be a candidate at any age.

Find the Sexual Rejuvenation Treatment Right for You

If you want to correct the symptoms of sexual dysfunction, then you will need to identify a sexual rejuvenation treatment that will address all of your concerns. One or both of these treatments can be used to improve your sexual health. At Revive MD Center in Glen Allen, VA we can help you find the right treatment to improve your health and well-being.
