Sexual concerns are common among women as hormone levels naturally decline with age, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. These issues can significantly impact intimacy, relationships, quality of life, and overall well-being, but effective, personalized treatments are available to restore confidence and vitality.

Sexual concerns are highly prevalent, especially among women experiencing hormonal shifts. Studies indicate that up to 40-55% of menopausal women report low sexual desire, with many also facing issues like poor lubrication and reduced sensitivity and satisfaction. At MD Total Wellness, nearly all women presenting with perimenopause or menopause symptoms also describe accompanying sexual complaints, highlighting how intertwined these changes can be. Addressing these early can improve quality of life and prevent further distress.
Women may experience a variety of symptoms that affect sexual health:
These symptoms often align with specific diagnoses:
Trouble reaching orgasm, leading to frustration.
These concerns frequently arise from hormonal imbalances. Declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone during perimenopause and menopause reduce vaginal lubrication, thin tissues, weaken pelvic muscles, and diminish desire and arousal. For example, low estrogen contributes to GSM, causing pain and dryness, while testosterone deficiency often underlies HSDD and reduced libido.
Trauma from childbirth, such as episiotomies, tears, or prolonged labor, can weaken pelvic floor muscles, leading to incontinence, pain, and orgasm difficulties. Psychological factors like stress or relationship issues may exacerbate symptoms, but physical changes are primary drivers. Early recognition of these links allows for targeted interventions.
At MD Total Wellness, we emphasize evidence-based treatments to address root causes and restore function. Options include:
BHT uses hormones identical to those produced by the body to replenish estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. It effectively alleviates GUSM symptoms, boosts libido, improves arousal, and enhances orgasm by restoring tissue health and hormonal balance. Studies show significant improvements in sexual function when initiated timely, with a favorable safety profile. BHT is ideal for women with hormone-related symptoms and can be customized via creams, suppositories, pellets, injections or patches.
Emsella is a non-invasive chair-based treatment using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate thousands of pelvic floor contractions per session. It strengthens muscles weakened by childbirth or aging, reducing pain, improving orgasm intensity, and enhancing overall sexual satisfaction. Clinical data indicate up to 86% improvement in urinary issues and sexual function, making it suitable for postpartum recovery or menopausal changes.
Emfemme 360 employs 360° radiofrequency energy to heat vaginal tissues, promoting collagen production and improving elasticity, tone, tightness, lubrication, and sensation. It effectively treats dyspareunia and GUSM, with studies showing reduced pain and enhanced sexual function lasting up to 12 months. This quick, painless procedure is recommended for women experiencing dryness or laxity.
PT-141 is a melanocortin agonist administered via injection to stimulate brain pathways for desire and arousal, bypassing hormonal systems. It’s FDA-approved for HSDD in premenopausal women, with trials demonstrating increased satisfying sexual events and reduced distress. Ideal for those with low desire unresponsive to hormones, it’s used as-needed for natural enhancement.
Beyond these, options like sex therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, or lubricants can complement treatments, addressing psychological aspects or providing immediate relief.
