Why we don't talk about it — and why we should

Cultural discomfort doesn't make sexual health any less important. Conditions ranging from low libido to erectile dysfunction, painful intercourse, and STIs are extremely common and almost always treatable.

What we cover at Hygiea

  • Hormonal contributors to libido changes.
  • Pelvic floor health for all genders.
  • STI prevention, testing and treatment.
  • Communication and consent.

When to see a clinician

  • Any new pain during intercourse.
  • Unexplained bleeding.
  • Persistent changes in libido or function.
  • Concerns about STIs after possible exposure.

There is no shame in any of these conversations. An informed patient is a healthier patient.
