Treatment For Sexual Dysfunction In Women |

Sexual dysfunction treatment depends
on the cause of the problem. Physical, medical treatment is meant at correcting
the original disorder. With psychological cause, treatment consists of
counseling. Both can be treatment with combination of medical and psychological
approaches.
Medical Treatment
- Lubricating, creams, gels, suppositories
Vaginal dryness can cause by a
chronic condition, medications or declining of estrogen levels. Your health
care professional can suggest water-based, over-the counter vaginal lubricants like
Astroglide or K-Y Jelly to make sex more comfortable.
- Topical estrogen
For women having menopause,
facing with vaginal thinning, dryness or insensitivity, the health care
professional can prescribe an estrogen cream like Estrace or
Premarin, or a vaginal ring, such as Estring, Phadia (low-dose) or Femring
(higher dose), to ease sexual agitation. And a vaginal tablet (Vagifem) having
estradiol, a type of estrogen, is accessible by prescription for vaginal
dryness.
- Hormone therapy
For menopausal women, a hormone
therapy (either a combination of estrogen and progestin or estrogen-only
therapy) can improve the sensitivity of the clitoris and ease discomfort caused
by vaginal thinning / dryness and also improve blood flow to the pelvic area.
Clitoral Therapy Device
The Eros Clitoral Therapy device
is an FDA-approved device especially designed for treatment of female sexual
arousal disorder. It consists of a small, battery-operated vacuum pump and soft
suction cup attached to a palm-sized.
Vaginal Weights
Women with orgasmic muddles can have
benefit from treatment with vaginal weights. They are used to make stronger the
pelvic floor muscles, improving alertness of sexual response and also potentially
correcting the urine leakage, which can cause troubles during sexual activity.
Sildenafil (Viagra)
This drug that treats erectile
dysfunction in men is also being considered in clinical trials for female
sexual arousal disorder.
Other Medical Aproaches
For better control of chronic
diseases, switching to prescriptions, to reduce the side effects, you can
approach other medical treatments also. By treating vaginal infections with
antibiotics can reduce sexual problems related to desire, orgasm, arousal and
pain.
Psychological Treatment
Psychological treatment for
sexual dysfunction generally engaged with series of steps for identifying and
modifying emotions and behaviors that interfere with sexual response, changing
behaviors that act as barriers to sexual responsiveness and learning new
physical and emotional behaviors that encourage sexual responsiveness.
Learning the functions of sexual
organs and their responds sexually, including clitoral and vaginal stimulation.
It can help for arousal and orgasm disorders. Kegel exercises can help to strengthen
voluntary control of pelvic muscles by improving the sense of control and
quality of orgasms.
Treatment for Vaginismus
It (involuntary spasm of the muscles
at the vaginal opening) can focus on techniques to relax the vagina. One choice
is using of dilators in graduated sizes that are placed into the vagina and
kept in place for 10 minutes. The woman regularly places the dilators herself.
Performing Kegel exercises though the dilator is in place helps to learn to
control your vaginal muscles. The exercises also can be done with the fingers. Medical
treatment is necessary for the vaginal problems. |
