A healthcare practice normalizing bodies & breaking cycles of shame for all things #SexualHealth.
Make an appointment or call for a consult: (202) 293-1000
For the providers: How many patients with penetrative pain have shared with you that previous #healthcare professionals have just told them to drink a glass of wine or take an aspirin before sex?
This type of advice isn't okay. Our patients deserve better. #WomensRights#health
Is penetration ever painful for you? Whether it’s with fingers, toys, or penises, you’re not alone: ~50% of menopausal women with sxually active partners experience pain during vaginal penetration.
And that’s just women in #menopause.

DYK 👉 84% of menopausal women struggle w/ genital, sexual & urinary discomfort that will not resolve on its own. Less than 25% seek help. We need to continue conversations about #menopause treatments and normalize it, so we can boost that 25% up as high as possible.

As men age there are plenty of meds approved to increase their sexual health—we’re sure you’ve heard of Viagra or Cialis?
And there are many other brands designed to do the same thing, plus no fewer than 25 different testosterone formulations for men.

While pharmacologic treatments arent for everyone, both Addyi + Vyleesi should work for women of any age.
Data on Addyi’s #menopause benefits was published almost 8yrs ago, and is approved by @GovCanHealth for use in women up to age 60.
