Sexual health for both men and women is an important topic – both men and women may struggle with libido or performance. Many factors can be involved in sexual health, including stress, cardiovascular inflammatory markers, blood flow and hormone levels.
Strategies for Increased Libido
When you’re struggling with your sexual health, consider the following tips to improve your libido.
Prioritize Quality Sleep
Lack of sleep can disrupt hormone levels and affect sexual function. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night to support overall health and energy levels.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Being overweight or obese can contribute to hormonal imbalances that affect libido. Achieve and maintain a healthy weight through a combination of diet and exercise.
Consider Herbal Supplements
Certain herbal supplements like maca root, ginseng and ashwagandha have been traditionally used to boost libido and improve sexual function. Consult with a healthcare provider before using supplements.
Treatments for Sexual Health in Men and Women
Advanced Urgent Care and Wellness offers first-rate sexual health treatments for both men and women. Consider these solutions for your sexual health needs.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
We offer testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for men as a treatment for hormonal imbalances, a common issue that affects libido. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are made of the same chemical structure as that produced by the body, so they are easily absorbed and put into action. Both men and women can benefit from this treatment, as it will be tailored to your exact needs.
Peptide Therapy
Peptides are proteins made up of amino acids that signal your body to perform certain functions. Peptide therapy can help meet multiple health and wellness goals, one of these being increasing your sex drive. Peptide therapy treatment comes in several forms, including injectable, capsules to be taken orally, or topical creams. Sermorelin is one specific injectable peptide found to be effective.
Sermorelin is used for its many anti-aging effects, including overall wellness, fat loss and increased libido. It targets sexual desire as well as the ability to perform for both men and women. While a PDES inhibitor targets the vascular system, sermorelin works by acting on the nervous system, activating neurons in the brain to increase desire.
Lifestyle Changes
During a consultation with your healthcare professional, you’ll also want to consider your stress levels, mental health, the side effects of medications you’re currently taking, as well as other important medical history factors. Speaking with your partner and/or a therapist, adjusting your medications, improving your diet and modifying your exercise routine are additional things you can do to help improve your libido.
