Female Sexual Health

Female sexual health addresses concerns such as low libido, vaginal dryness, discomfort during intimacy, changes in arousal, and the hormone shifts that often accompany them across perimenopause, menopause, and other life stages. These experiences are common and frequently connected to identifiable factors, from estrogen and other hormones to tissue health and overall wellbeing. A personalized, provider-guided evaluation is designed to offer root-cause insight into intimacy-related quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does female sexual health care at Protocol Health address?

Protocol Health provides respectful, clinical care for concerns such as low libido, vaginal dryness, discomfort during intimacy, and changes in arousal. Your provider begins with a thorough, confidential evaluation to understand your symptoms, health history, and any contributing factors. Depending on your needs, options may include hormone-related care or in-office treatments such as the O-Shot or vaginal rejuvenation. Your provider determines which approach, if any, is appropriate for you.

What is the O-Shot, and how does it work?

The O-Shot is an in-office treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from a small sample of your own blood, which a provider injects into targeted areas of vaginal tissue. It is intended to support tissue health and is explored by some patients dealing with concerns such as dryness or comfort. Individual experiences vary, and it is not right for everyone. Your provider will discuss whether the O-Shot may be an option based on your evaluation.

What is vaginal rejuvenation, and what does it involve?

Vaginal rejuvenation refers to treatments that aim to support the comfort, tissue quality, and function of the vaginal area. At Protocol Health, any recommendation follows a careful medical evaluation of your symptoms, goals, and health history. These treatments are not appropriate for every concern, and your provider will explain what they can and cannot address. Your provider determines whether vaginal rejuvenation is a suitable option for you.

Am I a candidate for female sexual health treatment?

Candidacy depends on your specific symptoms, health history, and goals, which your provider reviews during a confidential consultation. Some concerns may be related to hormones, health conditions, medications, or other factors, so a thorough evaluation helps guide the right path. Certain treatments may not be appropriate for everyone, including during pregnancy or with certain health conditions. Only a qualified provider can determine whether you are a candidate.

Are female sexual health treatments safe, and what should I expect for recovery?

Protocol Health prioritizes safety through provider evaluation, informed discussion, and appropriate follow-up before recommending any treatment. In-office procedures such as the O-Shot are typically performed in a single visit, and your provider will explain what to expect during and afterward. Recovery experiences vary by treatment and by individual, and any potential risks are reviewed with you in advance. Your provider will guide your aftercare and monitor your progress.

How do I begin female sexual health care, and is it available through telehealth?

Care begins with a private consultation where your provider listens to your concerns and reviews your history in a comfortable, clinical setting. Protocol Health offers in-person care in Scarsdale, New York, and telehealth visits for eligible patients across the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, and California, though in-office procedures such as the O-Shot are performed in person. Your provider will explain which parts of your care can be handled by telehealth. Your provider determines the most appropriate path for your needs.
