Low Sex Drive? These Non-Invasive Medical Treatments Can Help!
Most people experience decreased libido or a “low sex drive” at some point in their lives. A low sex drive can have many causes – from temporary lifestyle factors to an ongoing medical condition. However, unfortunately, because of the sensitive and personal nature of the subject, many women suffer in silence with a low sex drive and never seek help.
In this article Englewood, NJ board certified gynecologist and women’s health expert Dr. Hetal Gor discusses some of the most common causes of a low sex drive – and explains some innovative and effective treatments available to treat this problem.
CAUSES OF LOW SEX DRIVE
Lifestyle Causes of Low Sex Drive
High levels of stress can absolutely correlate to a dip in one’s sex drive. Similarly, being a parent and having young children around at all times often means less time for (and less interest in) sex. While these are typically temporary and very normal reasons for a lower libido, talking to a therapist can help alleviate stress, as well as help you achieve a better life balance. Which can mean more time, energy and interest for restoring a healthy sex drive!
Depression and Low Sex Drive
Depression affects every aspect of a woman’s life – physically and mentally – and can negatively impact sex drive as well. Depression can be devastating – but please know that it is treatable. Please see a mental health care professional if depression is interfering with your sex drive, or any other aspects of your life. If you live in the greater Englewood area, Dr. Gor would be happy to refer you to a psychiatrist or therapist.
Medication Causes of Low Sex Drive
In a cruel twist of irony, the SSRI medications used to treat depression – including Lexapro, Zoloft, and Prozac – can also further decrease sex drive. However, if antidepressants are affecting your sex drive, there are several good alternative non-SSRI antidepressants – such as Wellbutrin – that do not have the side effect of lowering libido. So, speak with your psychiatrist about changing medications if you suspect your depression meds are lowering your sex drive.
And, SSRIs aren’t the only medication that can result in a low sex drive. Birth control pills that contain estrogen and progestin can decrease libido, too. If you suspect that your birth control is negatively affecting your sex drive, schedule an appointment with Englewood, NJ board certified gynecologist Dr. Hetal Gor to discuss alternative contraception options. Low-hormone birth control pills or an IUD, may be a better option for you – and are less likely to interfere with your sex drive.
Vaginal Conditions Causing Low Sex Drive
The toll taken on the vagina by childbirth, aging and the hormonal changes of menopause can also decrease a woman’s sex drive. All of these factors can cause the vagina to become dry, loose, lax, less sensitive and even painful during penetrative sex. And sex that is painful or doesn’t feel good will most certainly lower the libido!
TREATMENTS FOR LOW SEX DRIVE
The great news is that innovative, painless, minimally-invasive vaginal treatments are now available that can treat the vaginal problems impacting libido – and dramatically improve a low sex drive!
O Shot for Low Sex Drive
The O-Shot is a new, 100% natural, state-of-the-art treatment for women than can improve sexual sensitivity, tighten the vagina, make sex less painful – and increase your sex drive! The O Shot – or “Orgasm Shot” – has been proven in clinical studies to increase natural vaginal lubrication, and to help women achieve better, more frequent orgasms.
The O Shot is a simple, one-time, injection in our Englewood, NJ office that uses the body’s own natural healing powers to stimulate cell rejuvenation in the vagina. The treatment uses PRP (Platelet Rich Protein) that is extracted from the patient’s own blood and injected into the vagina and clitoris.
Topical numbing is used, for a painless procedure – and there are no negative side effects and no downtime with this in-office procedure.
The amazing benefits of the O Shot have been featured in Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar, Redbook and Marie Claire. Now this incredible treatment for low sex drive and improved orgasm is available at Better U medical Spa in Englewood, NJ.
FemiLift Vaginal Rejuvenation for Low Sex Drive
FemiLift laser vaginal rejuvenation is a safe, comfortable, non-surgical technology that tightens and restores the vaginal tissue. Not only does FemiLift help remedy vaginal laxity and dryness, it can eliminate pain during intercourse, and it enhances sexual sensation.
The FemiLift process takes less than 15 minutes in our Englewood, NJ office. A slender, warm wand containing a gentle fractional CO2 laser is briefly inserted into the vagina. The laser energy increases circulation and lubrication in the vagina while also tightening vaginal tissue – all of which can dramatically improve a woman’s sexual sensation and sex drive.
FemiLift laser vaginal rejuvenation requires no anesthetic and has no downtime or recovery period afterwards. Several celebrities have posted on social media about the amazing effects of laser vaginal rejuvenation. Now that same treatment is available at Better U Medical Spa in Englewood, NJ.
