About Sexual Dysfunction
Female sexual dysfunction encompasses a range of concerns affecting desire, arousal, orgasm, or causing pain during sexual activity. Studies suggest that 30-45% of women experience some form of sexual concern at various points in their lives, with prevalence increasing with age. Sexual health is an important component of overall wellbeing and relationship satisfaction. Common presentations include low libido, difficulty with arousal or lubrication, inability to reach orgasm, or pain during intercourse (dyspareunia or vaginismus). Sexual dysfunction often has multiple contributing factors spanning physical, hormonal, psychological, and relational domains that benefit from comprehensive assessment and treatment.
Naturopathic Treatment for Sexual Dysfunction in Redmond
Naturopathic treatment for sexual dysfunction takes a holistic, sensitive approach addressing physical, hormonal, and emotional factors simultaneously. Comprehensive assessment identifies specific contributors across multiple domains. For hormonal concerns, supporting testosterone and estrogen balance through botanical medicines, targeted nutrients, and potentially bioidentical hormone therapy helps restore libido and tissue health. Pelvic floor therapy is essential for addressing pain, muscle dysfunction, and improving genital sensation and blood flow. Nutritional support optimizes hormone production, cardiovascular health for arousal, and addresses nutritional deficiencies affecting sexual function. Herbal medicines including maca, tribulus, and ginkgo may support desire, arousal, and sensation. Addressing underlying health conditions including thyroid dysfunction, chronic inflammation, or metabolic issues improves overall vitality. Stress management and nervous system support help women feel safe and present during intimacy. Counseling or referral for relationship therapy may be appropriate. This compassionate, comprehensive approach aims to restore sexual satisfaction, improve intimate connection, and enhance overall quality of life.
