Sexual health
A confidential conversation,
then an actual evaluation.
Changes in desire, function or comfort can have hormonal, vascular, medication-related or psychological contributors. Finding out which is the point of the visit.
This is one of the most common reasons patients contact us, and one of the least comfortable to bring up. It should not be. Sexual function is a health topic like any other, and it is frequently the first place a broader medical problem shows itself.
Vortex treats men and women. Evaluation is confidential, and nothing is prescribed before a clinician has assessed you.
What we look at
Rarely just one thing.
Treating the symptom without identifying the cause is how real problems get missed.
- Vascular and cardiac health Changes in erectile function in particular can be an early signal of cardiovascular disease. This is one of the reasons evaluation matters rather than a same-day prescription.
- Hormonal factors Testosterone, estradiol, thyroid and prolactin can all play a role, in both men and women.
- Medications A number of very common prescriptions affect desire or function. Sometimes the fix starts there.
- Metabolic health Diabetes, insulin resistance and lipid abnormalities all have well-established links.
- Sleep, stress and mood These are genuine physiological contributors, and they are frequently the largest ones.
- Relationship and psychological factors Worth discussing openly, and sometimes worth a referral to someone who specialises in it.
Treatment
Options, discussed openly.
Depending on what evaluation finds, treatment may involve addressing an underlying medical contributor, adjusting an existing medication, hormone therapy where clinically appropriate, or a prescription treatment directed at the symptom itself. Some patients are better served by a referral, and we will say so.
Prescription therapies including PT-141 (bremelanotide) may be considered following medical evaluation. Approved indications, formulations and appropriate use differ between patients, and suitability should always be determined by a qualified medical professional. Individual results vary.
