At Quality of Life Medical & Research Center, the team addresses issues such as erectile dysfunction in men and female sexual arousal disorder in women.
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Erectile dysfunction describes the inability to get or keep an erection and reduced sexual desire. Occasional sexual dysfunction isn’t a cause for concern, but chronic issues can indicate an underlying problem. Our specialists review your overall health and offer appropriate treatments so you can once again enjoy your sex life. We offer GAINSWave®, a treatment that uses shockwave therapy to promote better erections and improved sexual performance is one treatment that we offer. We also offer BioTE®, a long-lasting pelleted version of testosterone supplement.
SEXUAL AROUSAL DISORDER
Women sometimes experience sexual dysfunction in the form of sexual arousal disorder. In this condition, a woman may still desire sex but can’t get aroused or maintain arousal during sexual activity, meaning lubrication and pleasure are diminished. Vaginal rejuvenation techniques stimulate the restoration of healthy vaginal tissue that’s more lubricated and strong, making sexual encounters more pleasurable and satisfying. Ask Dr. McGettigan about these sexual medicine options for women.
HYPOACTIVE SEXUAL DESIRE DISORDER
Both sexes can also suffer hypoactive sexual desire disorder, which is an inhibited sexual desire. When men or women have a lack of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity, it can indicate a clinical condition that is treated with multiple strategies offered by Dr. McGettigan.
