What is sexual wellness?

Sexual health, or wellness, is a state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being concerning sexuality. 

Sexual wellness isn’t only about the absence of sexual diseases or dysfunction; it also involves the possibility of having pleasurable sexual experiences. 

Physical, mental, or medical conditions can cause issues with sexual wellness. These may include diabetes, various chronic diseases, hormonal imbalances, substance use disorder, or depression. 

For women, childbirth, aging, and menopause can cause vaginal lubrication issues and lead to less pleasurable sex. Men may also experience issues with sexual dysfunction as they age. 

When would I benefit from sexual wellness support?

Benefits of seeking sexual wellness support include: 

• Support for anorgasmia (delayed, infrequent, less-intense, or absent orgasms)
• Improved erectile dysfunction
• Enhanced erection quality and sensation
• Decreased premature ejaculation
• Peyronie’s disease support
• Lichen sclerosus support
• Tighter vaginal skin 
• Increased vaginal lubrication 
• Improved menopausal symptoms 
• Increased desire 

At Hawaii Natural Medicine, the team creates a holistic treatment plan that improves your overall sexual function, performance, and satisfaction.  

What treatments can promote sexual wellness? 

Before developing a treatment plan for you, the team performs a thorough physical exam, asks about your symptoms and medical history, and may encourage a blood test to determine your hormone levels. 

Hormone therapy 

Several forms of hormone therapy can help with sexual dysfunction and improve your libido and energy levels. 

Gender-affirming hormone therapy can orient your secondary sex characteristics with your gender identity and promote overall confidence. 

Shockwave therapy 

Shockwave therapy treats erectile dysfunction and requires no anesthesia. The team moves a wand-like device along parts of your penis for around 15 minutes while it emits gentle pulses. 

Pulses repair and strengthen blood vessels in the penis and improve blood flow. This process can lead to erections sufficient for sex.

The P-shot® 

The P-Shot involves the team taking platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your blood. They inject these cells and tissues back into your penile tissues to promote tissue growth and improve erections.
