For Men

Erectile Dysfunction has several possible underlying causes. Most or all are treatable.
Some treatments are more effective than others and some treatments have unwanted side effects.
The best first step is a visit with a doctor who will understand your issues and concerns and offer the best option(s) for treatment.

Women may experience a loss of desire for intimacy for both physical and psychological reasons. Finding the underlying cause is an important part of finding an effective treatment.

The physical causes may include a loss of libido resulting from inadequate testosterone (Yes! Women need that, too!), or pain with intimacy (called dyspareunia) that accompanies thinning and drying tissues which results from a lack of estrogen. We can help with the evaluation and treatment of hormonal imbalances.

Unrelated to physical issues a woman may lose interest because of external stressors – financial, emotional, or even physical – such as pain. This is why working to get to the root of the problem is so important.

We can also help with genital lesion removal, fertility, and contraception.

By the way, have you ever heard of  “Scream Cream?”  Yes, it does pretty much what you would expect.

Female Sexual Health

For Women

Women need and desire intimacy just as men do. There is no reason to withdraw from a full, active life because of loss of libido or painful intercourse. There are lots of possible treatments, but it starts with a visit to a caring, compassionate doctor.
We will start with an appropriate medical history and physical, which will include some laboratory analyses. Once we know the underlying cause, we can formulate a best possible strategy for treatment.

Erectile Dysfunction

Men may experience a loss of ability to perform during intimacy because of many factors.  Effective treatment is focused on first finding the cause. Erectile dysfunction may be associated with Diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, or following surgery to address serious prostate issues, such as enlargement or cancer.  Any surgery on the prostate can lead to ED.  If you are experiencing issues with urinary voiding, you owe it to yourself to discuss this with a doctor who will help find the underlying cause(s). If you have ED, there are treatment options and we are glad to help.  Once the cause is determined, we can work together on a treatment that both you and your partner will find acceptable.

Wart Assessment and Removal

The term “wart” refers to abnormal, fleshy skin growths usually caused by one of the more than 100 variants of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Typically, warts are painless although the location of the wart may cause surrounding tissues to become inflamed and painful. People with healthy immune systems are likely to clear the virus within a few years on their own. However, depending on the location and nature of the wart, it may be better to treat to enhance removal.

Broadly, warts may be classed as common, flat, plantar and anogenital. Warts can and do develop near the eyes, in and around the mouth and throat, and elsewhere on the body. Warts around the genitals can be both embarrassing and painful and make sexual intimacy uncomfortable.

Anogenital Warts are very common and only very rarely are caused by a strain of HPV that is associated with any form of cancer. These warts usually have no symptoms, so people may not know they have an HPV infection. Sometimes, though, the wart becomes large enough to cause inflammation and pain.

The virus strains that cause anogenital warts are thought to be passed by direct skin-to-skin contact, such as during sexual activities. While receptive anal sex may contribute to anal warts, it is not the only way to contract the virus.

In men, genital warts are most common under the foreskin of an uncircumcised penis or the shaft of a circumcised penis.

In women, these warts may occur in the vaginal introitus, the perianal area and inside the anus. In both men and women, a careful examination is required prior to establishing a treatment plan.
