Advanced Sexual Health Solutions

Sexual dysfunction refers to any mental, physical, or emotional problem that prevents an individual or couple from experiencing satisfaction from sexual activity. An estimated 31% of men and 43% of women have some degree of sexual dysfunction.

Recognizing the importance of a holistic approach, our program can also integrate our specialties in hormone balancing, PRP injections, shockwave therapy, behavioral therapy, and comprehensive medication support, including sexual health pharmaceuticals and compounded medications.

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is defined as the difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. This condition can arise from a range of psychological factors, such as depression, stress, and anxiety, as well as physical issues, including medication side effects, nerve or artery damage, and illnesses like diabetes and kidney disease.

ED should be viewed as a medical condition, not a measure of one's masculinity or virility. Various factors can contribute to ED, including:

• Psychological factors: depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues
• Physical factors: medication side effects, injuries, diseases that affect blood flow (such as diabetes and kidney disease), low testosterone, smoking, alcohol, and drug use, and more

Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction

Common symptoms of ED include:

• Inability to achieve an erection
• Inconsistent ability to achieve an erection
• Difficulty maintaining an erection for a sustained period

P-Shot (for Men)

The Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) P-Shot and O-Shot are groundbreaking cellular therapies harnessing the healing potential of growth factors and nutrients derived from your own blood. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, followed by the efficient separation of platelets using the state-of-the-art 60mL System. This results in a pH-balanced, high-yielding PRP shot tailored to your individual needs.

Men undergoing the P-Shot receive targeted injections in specific areas of the penis. The P-Shot aims to:

• Improve erectile function
• Enhance sexual performance
• Increase blood flow to the genital area
• Promote tissue regeneration

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Research has shown that testosterone replacement therapy for men can:

• Enhance libido

Vacuum Erection Devices (VEDs)

For those seeking an alternative to oral medications or unable to take them, Vacuum Erection Devices (VEDs) provide a longstanding solution. Since 1982, VEDs have assisted in treating ED. By employing a pump to create a vacuum, the device aids in achieving an erection. A constriction ring or band prevents blood from flowing back out, assisting the man in maintaining the erection. VEDs are a reliable option for ED treatment.

Penile Girth Enhancement

Penile Girth Enhancement is a procedure to enhance the circumference or girth of your penis, resulting in a "thicker" penis. Anyone interested in improving the size or thickness of their penis is a candidate for this treatment.
