Hormones & Metabolism

Decreased libido, vaginal dryness, or painful intercourse

Decreased libido, vaginal dryness, and painful intercourse are symptoms that significantly impact quality of life and intimate relationships. Yet they are among the most underreported and undertreated concerns in women's health. At Renew Health and Wellness, these experiences are addressed with compassion and clinical rigor. Dr. Jennifer Redmond, CNP, DNP creates a space where these concerns can be discussed openly. Her evaluation begins with a comprehensive hormone panel assessing estrogen, testosterone, and DHEA - the hormones most directly responsible for genital tissue health, lubrication, and sexual desire.


Bio-identical and body-identical hormone therapy forms the foundation of treatment, restoring the systemic hormonal environment that supports both libido and tissue health. For local vaginal symptoms, low-dose topical estrogen or DHEA can be applied directly to vaginal tissues to restore moisture, elasticity, and comfort - without significant systemic absorption. Testosterone therapy is also considered when libido and arousal remain low after other hormones are optimized, as testosterone plays a critical and often overlooked role in women's sexual health.


Dr. Jennifer Redmond, CNP, DNP may also incorporate peptide therapies such as PT-141 to enhance sexual responsiveness where appropriate. When emotional or relational factors are involved, access to an on-site licensed mental health therapist is available. The goal is not simply to make intercourse less painful. The goal is to restore your full experience of sexual well-being - desire, arousal, satisfaction, and confidence. At Renew Health and Wellness, intimacy is treated as a vital component of health, and you deserve care that reflects that.
