Sexual Dysfunction refers to ongoing difficulties in sexual desire, arousal, or physical response that interfere with satisfaction, intimacy, or connection. This condition can affect both men and women, and it can appear gradually or suddenly. It is not simply a physical issue — sexual wellness involves the interconnected balance of hormones, circulation, nervous system regulation, emotional well-being, and relationship health.
At First Call DPC, we treat sexual dysfunction with respect and discretion. We understand that sexual health is an essential part of quality of life, identity, and confidence. When sexual function changes, it can impact emotional connection, self-esteem, and intimate relationships — which is why it deserves thoughtful, compassionate care.
Sexual dysfunction is common, but it is not something you have to ignore, accept as “normal with age,” or try to manage alone. There are real, effective, personalized treatment options that restore desire, function, pleasure, and connection.
Sexual dysfunction is often the result of multiple overlapping factors, such as:
Sexual dysfunction is not a personal failure — it is a physiological message that something in the system needs support and rebalancing.
Symptoms vary depending on the individual, but can include:
Many people express:
These experiences are valid — and treatable.
Some steps may begin restoring balance:
Rest restores hormone production and nervous system responsiveness.
Alcohol temporarily relaxes but ultimately reduces sexual arousal and performance.
Regular movement increases blood flow and boosts energy, libido, and mood.
Stress chemistry is the opposite of intimacy chemistry — calming the system supports desire.
Emotional safety improves physical response.
If you’ve already tried these — and still feel disconnected from your sexual wellness — deeper assessment is needed. Your body is asking for support, not more effort.
Treatment is most effective when it addresses the root cause, not just the symptom.
At First Call DPC, treatment may include:
Restoring testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, or thyroid balance supports desire, arousal, sensitivity, energy, and mood.
Peptides can enhance circulation, nitric oxide signaling, sensitivity, and nerve function while also supporting emotional resilience.
Targeted medications or therapies can improve blood flow and physical response when appropriate.
For both men and women, pelvic muscle tension can block sexual response. Guided release, therapy, or strengthening can vastly improve function.
Sexual function is deeply connected to emotional safety, identity, and relationship patterns.
Improving sleep, inflammation, gut function, and stress response enhances intimacy chemistry.
Our goal is not just physical function — but pleasure, connection, confidence, and fulfillment.
We speak openly — without judgment — about your experiences, goals, and concerns.
We evaluate hormones, blood flow markers, metabolic function, nutrient levels, inflammation, thyroid health, and stress chemistry.
We explain what’s happening and why — clearly and respectfully.
Your plan may include hormonal support, peptide therapy, performance support, pelvic floor therapy, or stress recovery strategies.
You stay in direct communication with your provider — adjusting your plan as your body responds.
At First Call DPC, intimacy is not treated as an afterthought — it’s treated as a meaningful part of wellness.
