2025 AUGS Clinical Meeting-Reclaiming Intimacy: Innovations in Women’s Sexual Health

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the significant lack of conversation and attention dedicated to women's sexual health compared to men's, particularly regarding female sexual dysfunction (FSD). The speaker highlights the challenges in addressing FSD, noting that despite numerous advertisements and societal focus on male erectile dysfunction (ED), women's sexual health issues are often overlooked and censored. A 1999 study showed 33% of women in the U.S. experience some form of dysfunction, which can worsen with age, especially during menopause transitions. The talk addresses various causes, including hormonal changes, psychological factors, and conditions like thyroid disease, diabetes, and pelvic disorders. The speaker also outlines potential treatments and innovations, such as hormone therapy, pelvic floor therapy, regenerative techniques like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, and use of various devices such as lasers and shockwave therapy. The discussion emphasizes the importance of an integrative and personalized approach to treatment to improve women's sexual wellness and overall well-being, which can reduce depression and anxiety while enhancing immune function and relationship satisfaction.
