Sexual wellness encompasses physical, mental, and emotional health related to sexuality and sexual function. As we age or experience hormonal changes, sexual health issues can arise impacting libido, performance, fertility, and more. Seeking care from a sexual wellness clinic focusing on hormone balance can help identify underlying causes and provide customized treatment plans to restore well-being. Located in Kenai, AK, Invigorate Medical delivers compassionate care and innovative therapies for sexual health and vitality. Our experienced medical team conducts testing to accurately diagnose hormone imbalance related to low testosterone, estrogen loss, thyroid dysfunction, and other key hormones. We create fully personalized treatment plans which may include hormone replacement therapy with bioidentical hormones, nutrition planning, fitness guidance, and more.
The first step in improving sexual wellness at our Kenai sexual wellness clinic is diagnostic testing. We conduct advanced hormone panel blood tests to measure levels of key hormones including:
Testing provides objective data revealing the presence and extent of hormonal imbalance. For example, low testosterone is directly associated with reduced sexual desire and erectile dysfunction in men. Estrogen loss correlates to vaginal dryness and painful intercourse for women. Our physicians interpret test results taking lifestyle factors into account to determine the best treatment options for optimal sexual wellness.
Balancing hormone levels delivers extensive benefits enhancing many aspects of health and quality of life:
Restoring balance reactivates the body's innate capacity to self-regulate across systems, allowing one to thrive physically and emotionally.
The core treatment we provide at our Kenai hormone clinic is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT). This precisely tailors supplemental hormone doses unique to each patient's physiology and needs.
There are numerous options for delivery of bioidentical hormones including:
We carefully evaluate your symptoms, test results, lifestyle, and preferences to determine the ideal hormone therapy plan. Treatment begins with lower initial doses gradually increased based on follow-up testing to reach optimal balance unique to your body. We closely track progress, adjusting as needed to realize full benefits while minimizing potential side effects.
