Female sexual
dysfunction.

Low desire. Painful sex. Difficulty with arousal or orgasm. These are medical symptoms with measurable physiological causes — and they are treatable.

Treatment for painful sex, low libido, vaginismus and dyspareunia in Beverly Hills.

What it treats

Six clusters of symptoms that most clinicians don’t ask about.

01

Low desire

Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). Reduced libido after pregnancy, perimenopause, antidepressants, or hormonal contraception.

02

Arousal difficulty

Reduced genital sensitivity, lubrication issues, vascular insufficiency. Diagnostic workup includes hormonal panel and physical exam.

03

Painful intercourse

Dyspareunia, vaginismus, vulvodynia. Causes range from atrophy to pelvic floor dysfunction to nerve hypersensitivity.

04

Orgasmic disorder

Difficulty reaching orgasm, delayed orgasm, anorgasmia. Often hormonal, neurological, or pharmacologically induced.

05

Postpartum changes

Persistent symptoms 6+ months after delivery — laxity, sensation changes, scar tissue, hormonally driven libido shifts.

06

Post-treatment recovery

Sexual dysfunction following cancer treatment, hysterectomy, or chronic medication use. Restoration plan tailored to history.

How it works

A real diagnostic process, not a sales funnel.

Intake & history

A 60–90 minute first appointment with Dr. Berman. Detailed medical, hormonal, surgical, sexual, and pharmacological history.

Diagnostics

Comprehensive hormone panel. Pelvic exam where indicated. Vascular and neurological assessment. Medication review.

Treatment plan

A written plan covering pharmacological, regenerative, device, hormonal, and behavioral options — with rationale for each.

Follow-up

Re-evaluation at 4–6 weeks, then quarterly. Plans adjust based on labs, symptom response, and patient preference.

What to expect

The first ninety days, in honest detail.

  1. Week 0

    Booking & intake forms

    Detailed health intake (~30 min) submitted online before the first appointment so the visit isn’t spent paperwork-ing.

  2. Week 1

    Initial consultation

    60–90 min in-person or telehealth. History, exam where indicated, lab orders. Treatment plan drafted on the spot.

  3. Week 2–3

    Lab results review

    Brief virtual review once labs are back. Plan refined. First prescriptions or in-office procedures scheduled.

  4. Week 6

    First follow-up

    Symptom review. Lab recheck where applicable. Adjustments to dosing, modality, or protocol.

  5. Week 12

    Plan optimization

    By this point most patients have a clear sense of what’s working. Focus shifts to maintenance and long-term plan.

FAQ

Questions most patients ask.

Do you treat pain during sex, vaginismus, vulvodynia, and dyspareunia?

Yes. Dr. Berman evaluates pain during sex, painful intercourse, vaginismus, vulvodynia, dyspareunia, vaginal dryness, and related pelvic or hormonal drivers as medical symptoms with treatable causes.

Can low libido in women be hormonal?

Often, yes. Low libido can be related to perimenopause, postpartum changes, medications, hormone shifts, pain, arousal difficulty, stress physiology, or several factors at once. The point of the workup is to find the pattern before recommending treatment.

Is female sexual dysfunction really a medical diagnosis?

Yes. The DSM-5 and ICD-10 both list multiple FSD diagnoses (HSDD, female orgasmic disorder, genito-pelvic pain disorder, etc). The challenge is that most clinicians aren’t trained to evaluate them — not that they aren’t real.

Do you take insurance?

The practice operates out-of-network. We provide superbills you can submit to your insurance for partial reimbursement under your out-of-network benefits. We accept HSA/FSA cards.

Will I see Dr. Berman herself, or a nurse practitioner?

Every initial consultation is conducted by Dr. Berman. Follow-ups may be conducted by Dr. Berman or a member of the clinical team based on the visit type, but Dr. Berman remains the supervising physician for every patient on the panel.

Can this be done over telehealth?

Initial consultations and most follow-ups can be done virtually. Procedures (Emsella, MonaLisa Touch, O-Shot, exams requiring physical evaluation) require an in-person visit.

How long until I see results?

Depends on modality. Hormonal protocols usually show measurable change in 4–8 weeks. Peptides like PT-141 are dose-of-event. Energy device protocols (Emsella, MonaLisa Touch) typically show change after the third session, with full effect at three months.

Jennifer Berman and her team are the best in the business. I came from another hormone specialist who was completely incompetent and the office was disorganized. Dr. Berman and her staff are the polar opposite. I love them so much. They have gotten my hormones back in balance.…
