Medications for Sexual Dysfunction
Women's sexual health has a smaller pharmacological toolkit than men's, and far less of it gets discussed. These are the options, what each one actually does, and how we choose.
Who this is for
Women whose desire, arousal or sensitivity has changed, and who want to know what medical options exist before assuming there are none.
Medication is one route, not the only one. Where the driver is hormonal, treating the hormone often comes first — that is a conversation, not a default.
What the program includes
A discreet consultation
The options are explained in full — what each does, what it does not do, and which is likely to suit your situation.
Hormones assessed alongside
Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid read first, because a medication compensating for a hormonal gap is treating the wrong layer.
PT-141 where desire is the issue
PT-141 acts on the nervous system to increase sexual desire rather than on blood flow, which makes it a different tool from the vascular options.
Sildenafil where arousal is the issue
For women with sexual arousal disorders, increasing blood flow can help those who struggle with arousal or sensitivity.
How this program runs
Foundational Assessment — $599
A full biological picture before anything is prescribed: symptoms, history, goals and comprehensive bloodwork, reviewed by Dr. Varano.
Membership — $279 / month
Ongoing clinical oversight, direct clinician messaging between visits, and protocol adjustments based on how you actually respond.
Your protocol
Built to your labs and your goals, then re-checked and adjusted as your numbers move. Nothing here is a fixed script.
Current program pricing is listed on the specialty treatment plans page.
What we track
Response is reviewed at follow-up and the approach adjusted. Side effects and suitability are discussed before anything is prescribed rather than left to the pharmacy leaflet.

Questions women ask us
What benefits do medications for female sexual health provide?
Depending on the medication, benefits can include increased arousal, improved natural lubrication, enhanced orgasm intensity, better circulation, stronger emotional connection, and greater sexual confidence.
Is Sildenafil safe and effective for women with sexual dysfunction?
Sildenafil can be effective for women with sexual arousal disorders. By increasing blood flow to the genitals, it can help those who struggle with arousal or sensitivity, leading to better sexual satisfaction.
How does PT-141 work differently?
PT-141 targets the nervous system to increase sexual desire rather than acting on the vascular system the way medications like Viagra do. Because it uses a different pathway, it can work where those have not.
How is sexual wellness defined here?
It is defined by a fulfilling and satisfying sexual life, addressed through personalized care that aims to restore balance and vitality, not just the absence of dysfunction.
Why is sexual wellness often left out of routine care?
Societal stigma and the sense that it is a taboo topic mean it frequently goes unaddressed during standard health consultations. The clinic aims to create a comfortable, confidential space to discuss it.
