Sexual Health · 02 of 06
Female sexual
dysfunction.
Low desire. Painful sex. Difficulty with arousal or orgasm. These are medical symptoms with measurable physiological causes — and they are treatable.
What it treats
Six clusters of symptoms that most clinicians don’t ask about.
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

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.

Lab results review
Brief virtual review once labs are back. Plan refined. First prescriptions or in-office procedures scheduled.
- Week 6
First follow-up
Symptom review. Lab recheck where applicable. Adjustments to dosing, modality, or protocol.

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.
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.
