Overview

What is sexual wellness care?

Sexual health is tied to circulation, hormones, stress and overall health. Changes in erections, arousal or desire are common with age, and they are medical issues worth treating, not something to put up with.

At Vita Nova, Dr. Cardona looks at the full picture, from hormone levels to blood flow, and builds a plan that may combine Alma Duo shockwave therapy, hormone optimization and other medical treatment.

What it treats

  • Erectile dysfunction (ED)
  • Weaker or less reliable erections
  • Female orgasmic disorder
  • Reduced sensitivity and arousal
  • Low libido related to hormones

Who it’s for

  • Men who want a non-drug option for ED
  • Women with reduced arousal or difficulty reaching orgasm
  • Patients who prefer a non-invasive treatment
  • Adults who also want their hormones checked

Can I keep taking ED medication?
