Women’s Sexual Wellness & Dysfunction
Through personalized sexual wellness therapies, we have helped women address issues they never believed could improve—such as chronic vaginal dryness, pain with intercourse, recurrent urinary discomfort, reduced sensation, and changes in orgasm quality. Our treatments are designed not only to restore comfort and function, but also to enhance confidence, improve intimacy, and support healthy, vibrant tissue—helping women feel more connected to their bodies and overall well-being.
Below are some of the advanced sexual wellness treatments we offer to support women’s intimate health.
Understanding Female Sexual Dysfunction
Female sexual dysfunction refers to ongoing concerns that interfere with sexual comfort, desire, arousal, or satisfaction. These issues are medical, common, and treatable.
Female sexual dysfunction may include:
- Vaginal Dryness
- Painful Intercourse
- Low Libido
- Difficulty Becoming Aroused
- Reduced Sensation
- Difficulty Reaching Orgasm
- Weaker Orgasms
- Tissue Thinning or Loss of Elasticity
- Changes after Menopause, Childbirth, or Hormone Shifts
These symptoms are often connected to internal changes—not simply aging.
At YES MD, women’s sexual wellness is approached through a Functional Medicine lens that looks beyond isolated symptoms to evaluate the interconnected systems that most influence intimate health. We assess hormonal balance—including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—along with thyroid function, blood flow and circulation, vaginal tissue health and elasticity, metabolism and weight, and the impact of stress and cortisol levels. By understanding how these systems work together, we are able to create personalized treatment plans that address both the root causes of sexual wellness concerns and the symptoms affecting quality of life.

Is female sexual dysfunction common?
Yes. Female sexual dysfunction is very common, especially after age 40, childbirth, or menopause. Many women experience changes in desire, comfort, sensation, or orgasm—but few are told that effective medical treatments exist.
What causes sexual dysfunction in women?
Female sexual dysfunction is often caused by hormonal imbalance, reduced blood flow, tissue thinning, stress, thyroid issues, weight changes, or aging. These factors frequently occur together and require a comprehensive medical approach.
Why does sex hurt all of a sudden?
Pain during intercourse is commonly related to vaginal dryness, tissue thinning, inflammation, or hormonal changes—particularly declines in estrogen or testosterone. Functional evaluation can identify the cause and guide treatment.
Why am I experiencing vaginal dryness even though I’m not menopausal?
Vaginal dryness can occur during perimenopause, postpartum, or from stress, thyroid imbalance, or hormone fluctuations—not just menopause.
Can hormone imbalance affect orgasm?
Yes. Hormones influence blood flow, nerve sensitivity, arousal, and orgasm quality. Imbalances can make orgasms weaker, harder to achieve, or less satisfying.
Can sexual wellness treatments really improve orgasm?
Yes. By improving blood flow, tissue health, and hormonal balance, many women experience stronger sensation, improved arousal, and better orgasms.
Why has my sex drive disappeared?
Low libido is often linked to hormonal shifts, thyroid dysfunction, stress, fatigue, or metabolic changes. Addressing the underlying cause often restores desire.
Can female sexual dysfunction cause urinary issues?
Yes. Vaginal tissue health and estrogen levels are closely connected to urinary tract comfort, urgency, and recurrent irritation.
What is the difference between seeing my gynecologist and seeing Dr. Knott?
Gynecologic care often focuses on screening and symptom management. Dr. Knott uses a Functional Medicine approach that evaluates hormones, metabolism, circulation, and tissue health together—allowing for deeper, personalized treatment.
How does Dr. Knott evaluate sexual wellness differently?
Dr. Knott looks beyond standard labs and symptoms to understand how hormones, thyroid function, circulation, stress, and aging interact—creating a comprehensive, individualized care plan.
Can sexual dysfunction be treated without surgery or medications?
Yes. Many women benefit from non-surgical therapies such as FemiLift®, Alma Duo®, hormone optimization, and Functional Medicine support.
What is FemiLift® and how does it help women?
FemiLift® is a CO₂ laser treatment that improves vaginal tissue health, elasticity, lubrication, and comfort—often reducing pain, dryness, and urinary symptoms.
What is Alma Duo® for women?
Alma Duo® uses acoustic wave therapy to enhance blood flow and circulation, supporting arousal, sensation, and orgasm quality.
Am I too old to improve my sexual wellness?
No. Women of all ages can experience meaningful improvements with the right medical approach.
How long does it take to see results?
Many women notice improvements within weeks, with continued benefits as treatments progress.
Why haven’t I been told these options exist before?
Female sexual wellness has historically been under-addressed in medicine. Dr. Knott has been helping women with these concerns for many years, long before these therapies became widely discussed.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for treatment?
If you’re experiencing changes in comfort, desire, sensation, orgasm, or confidence, a consultation can help determine which options may benefit you.
