Sexual Health Center for Women

For over a decade,the topic of sexual function has been on the table; not to mention on TV, in magazines, in stand-up comedy routines and, yes, in doctors' offices. With one caveat: we could talk about it as long as we were talking about men.

Medications that treat erectile dysfunction in men successfully resolved many (but not all) of the problems men were having with their erections as they age, or because of a medical condition, or due to depression after a job loss. Sexual dysfunction, though upsetting, was now an issue a man could address with his doctor quickly and get "back to business."

Over the course of his 25-year practice, Dr. Michael Werner, a urologist specializing in male sexual dysfunction and infertility, learned a lot about the lives of the men he treated, and he could not ignore the plain fact: women were suffering from different types of sexual dysfunction and there was very little help.

Sexual Health Center for Women

The Medical Center for Female Sexuality was founded eleven years ago and is dedicated to helping women treat female sexual dysfunction. In the two MCFS clinics in the New York area, each patient is greeted with warmth and support, participates in a psychosexual intake process and has a physical exam. Depending upon the condition presented, follow up appointments are made to explain a diagnosis and recommend treatment.

The women who come to the Center vary in age, from newly weds in their 20s, young mothers in their 30s and pre or post menopausal women in their 40s,50s and older. They come with dramatic stories of marriages not consummated, withering sex lives with life partners, years of pain while trying to love their partners, and vanishing - or nonexistant - orgasms.

A variety of medical and psychotherapeutic tools are used to treat women in our offices, and the success rate is high. The Center's practitioners work closely with patients in an intimate but comfortable environment. Sometimes women try out different vibrators to help with orgasm; hormone levels are assessed to understand decreases in libido, different exercises or medications are combined with the most effective lubricants to reduce pain and anxiety during sex. On the testimonials pages of this site you can "hear" women's stories in more detail.

Each month, thousands of women come to our site to learn that they are not alone; that their pain or loss of desire is not "in their head," that there are treatments for the complex arena of women's sexual health. Some travel from afar to see our practitioners because there are very few practices like this in the country. Some call for a non-diagnostic consult so they can make general suggestions to their own local doctors.

The Center even has a preceptorship to train out of state gynecologists and urologists in this specialty.

Whatever your situation, you are reading this because you have questions about your sexual health. We hope we can be of help.
