Understanding Low Libido and Sexual Wellness

Understanding Low Libido and Sexual Wellness

Compassionate, clinically grounded care for men and women

Low libido, erectile dysfunction, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, and difficulty with arousal or orgasm are common, treatable concerns. Studies summarized by the Endocrine Society show that sexual dysfunction affects up to 43 percent of women and 31 percent of men at some point in adulthood, with hormone shifts, vascular changes, pelvic floor issues, mental health, and medications all contributing. The International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (ISSWSH) emphasizes that these issues are medical, not personal failings, and respond well to evidence-based care.

At Evolving Mind and Body in Auburndale, FL, Erin Garza, APRN, FNP-C, leads sexual wellness care for men and women in a discreet, judgment-free setting. After a comprehensive evaluation that may include hormone labs and a review of medications and lifestyle, Erin builds a personalized plan that can blend hormone replacement therapy, peptide therapy, and pelvic floor therapy with Emsella to restore desire, function, and comfort.

Why Sexual Wellness Changes Over Time

Why Sexual Wellness Changes Over Time

Hormones, pelvic health, vascular changes, and lifestyle all play a role

Sexual function depends on a coordinated balance of hormones, blood flow, nerve signaling, pelvic floor strength, and emotional well-being. As the Endocrine Society describes, declining testosterone in men and shifting estrogen and testosterone in women (especially during perimenopause and after childbirth) directly affect desire, arousal, lubrication, and erectile function. Vascular factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease can further reduce blood flow to genital tissues.

Medications are another common driver. SSRIs, hormonal contraceptives, blood pressure medications, and beta-blockers can blunt libido or interfere with arousal and orgasm. Stress, anxiety, depression, sleep loss, alcohol use, and unaddressed pelvic floor dysfunction (often after childbirth or with aging) compound the picture. At Evolving Mind and Body, Erin coordinates care across hormone optimization and pelvic health to address every layer rather than just the symptom.

Sexual Wellness Concerns We Treat

Sexual Wellness Concerns We Treat

Care for men and women across every life stage

For men, common concerns include low libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced morning erections, fatigue, mood changes, and reduced muscle mass tied to low testosterone. For women, common concerns include low desire, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse (dyspareunia), reduced arousal or orgasm, postpartum sexual changes, and the genitourinary symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Many couples also experience relationship strain or performance anxiety that benefits from a clinical conversation in a private setting.

Treatment is highly individualized. Some patients see significant improvement from bioidentical hormone therapy alone. Others benefit from targeted peptide therapy such as PT-141 (bremelanotide) for desire and arousal. For pelvic floor weakness, urinary leakage, or post-childbirth changes, Emsella offers a non-invasive in-office option. Co-occurring concerns like hormonal imbalance and urinary incontinence are evaluated together so your plan addresses the whole picture.

03

Medications

SSRIs, hormonal contraceptives, blood pressure medications, and certain antidepressants commonly blunt libido and arousal.

04

Vascular and Metabolic Issues

High blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and obesity reduce blood flow to genital tissues and impair function.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sexual Wellness Treatment

01 What causes low libido in men and women?

Common drivers include hormonal decline (low testosterone in men, shifting estrogen and testosterone in women), pelvic floor dysfunction, vascular and metabolic conditions, certain medications (SSRIs, hormonal contraceptives, blood pressure medications), chronic stress, sleep loss, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Most patients have more than one contributing factor, which is why a thorough evaluation is the first step.

02 Can hormone replacement therapy improve sexual wellness?

Yes. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can meaningfully improve libido, energy, mood, vaginal comfort, and erectile function when symptoms are tied to hormone changes. Erin Garza orders targeted lab work, reviews symptoms in detail, and personalizes therapy with the lowest effective dose. Most patients notice improvement within 4 to 12 weeks, with periodic lab checks to keep treatment safe and effective.

03 How does Emsella help with sexual wellness?

Emsella uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor contractions in a single 28-minute session while you sit fully clothed. Strengthening the pelvic floor can improve sensation, reduce urinary leakage, ease postpartum sexual changes, and support stronger erections in men. Most patients complete 6 sessions over 3 weeks and benefit from periodic touch-up treatments.

04 Do you treat both men and women for sexual wellness?

Yes. Erin Garza, APRN, FNP-C, treats men and women with the same clinical depth and respect. For men, common concerns include low testosterone, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, and reduced libido. For women, common concerns include low desire, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, postpartum sexual changes, perimenopause and menopause symptoms, and pelvic floor weakness. Couples are welcome to attend consultations together when helpful.

05 What peptides help with libido and sexual function?

PT-141 (bremelanotide) is the most studied peptide for low desire and arousal in both men and women, acting on melanocortin receptors in the brain rather than the vascular system. Other peptides may support energy, recovery, and overall wellness, which indirectly benefit intimacy. Erin reviews your goals and medical history before recommending any peptide protocol and coordinates with hormone therapy when appropriate.

06 Are sexual wellness consultations confidential?

Absolutely. Every visit at Evolving Mind and Body is private and judgment-free, and clinical records are protected by HIPAA. Erin takes extra care to make sexual wellness consultations comfortable for new patients, with the option to begin via secure telehealth before coming into the Auburndale office if you prefer.
