PELVIC &
SEXUAL HEALTH
Every woman has a right to a vibrant, powerful sex life. Many women silently tolerate personal issues relating to sexual health. There are ways to help women feel their best before, during and after sex. Areas of expertise are:
Low libido: Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD), the lack of desire to participate in the activity of sex.
Decreased arousal: inability to be interested in sex while it is happening or inability for the vagina to become lubricated and for the body to become excited during sexual activity.
Dyspareunia (painful sex): rawness, burning inside vagina during sex; cramping during sexual activity.
Vaginismus: painful contraction of the vagina in response to physical contact or pressure, especially during sexual intercourse.
Urinary incontinence: the unwanted leakage of urine, especially at inopportune times.
ThermiVa
ThermiVa is a Gold standard vaginal rejuvenation treatment. It is ideal for women experiencing painful intercourse, vaginal dryness, vulvar laxity, and urinary symptoms, including mild incontinence. By reducing discomfort and boosting vaginal sensation, sexual pleasure is improved.
ThermiVa is a gentle, quick, non-surgical, non-ablative procedure delivering physician-controlled radiofrequency energy to heat vaginal tissue, which naturally stimulates the rebuilding of lost collagen and elastin. Done in the office, no anesthesia is required and there is no downtime. Most patients remain symptom-free for up to one year following the initial three treatment (monthly) protocol; a single annual treatment then maintains the desired benefits that were achieved.
Urogynecology
The practice of urogynecology is focused on treating patients with pelvic floor dysfunction. These issues may lead women to lose urine at inconvenient times or often experience urinary discomfort. Come see Dr. Gold to discuss these issues and treatments in further detail.
