Sexual problems for women – A great taboo
Many men and women suffer from problems related to their sex-life which can have a great impact in their relationship. Unfortunately, having sexual problems is also a great taboo. Having a leg fracture, a heart attack or being fatigued is so much easier to talk about than your sexual problems. Studies show that patients often refrain from bringing up sexual problems and disorders with their doctor unless, the doctor initiates a conversation on sex. Therefore, it’s not a great surprise that sex is an area of great misunderstandings, unspoken truths, great myths and beliefs and often little knowledge.
Before we move on to talk about sex and sex rejuvenation, we need to get few terms straight:
Infertility
Inability of a couple to have children. It’s NOT possible to guess what the reason is. It could be conditions in anyone of the partners and it could be conditions in both. Proper assessment and investigation are required to establish the cause of infertility.
A divorce, re-marriage or second marriage will NOT solve the problem, if infertility is a problem related to the man.
Libido
Also called sex-drive. Libido is the urge, passion, appetite, need, drive, longing and/or desire for sex. Libido can be high or low independently of the ability to have an erection and independently of any fertility.
Lack of libido can be seen along side with impotence in men and vaginal dryness in women but it may not.
Vaginal dryness
An important factor for women to enjoy sex, is vaginal wetness. It serves as a lubricant during sex. Vaginal wetness is increased considerably with sexual stimulation, whether physical or mental.
Some women suffer from vaginal dryness which can be due many factors, including underlying physical/medical conditions, hormonal changes, medicines, infections, physical or mental stress and exhaustion, cultural norms, personal preferences for sex and sexual activities and many other factors. Some of these factors, may affect the libido which in turn may impact vaginal lubrication.
Anorgasmia
Is the inability or difficulty to reach an orgasm, despite sufficient sexual stimulation. It may take away some of the pleasure from sexual activity and it can also lead to decreased sex-drive – “as there is no point”.
A person that has never experienced or rarely experiences an orgasm, may or may not be suffering from anorgasmia. If the person or his/her partner, does not know how to sexually stimulate or lacks technique, this problem could occur.
Studies show that up to 40% of women may suffer from anorgasmia.
Platelet Rich Plasma for Sexual Rejuvenation
Platelet Rich Plasma has found it’s way into various fields of medicine. It can also be used for sexual rejuvenation in men and women. Keep in mind, that you may need maintenance treatment 8-12 months after the initial course. For some, the effect may last much longer.
PRP may be used for the following conditions in women:
- Anorgasmia
- Decreased libido
- Vaginal dryness
- Dyspareunia (pain during intercourse)
- Urinary incontinence
PRP can improve libido, increase sexual pleasure and improve the ability to achieve climax, reduce vaginal dryness and reduce or remove dyspareunia/pain during intercourse. Keep in mind, that the above conditions may be interlinked. Thus, vaginal dryness may cause pain during intercourse. The anticipation of pain, may in turn reduce libido and the pain during intercourse, may lead to anorgasmia/lack of climax, which in turn may further reduce libido. Thus, a vicious cycle is established, which can be very hard to break out of.
In our experience, the taboo surrounding sexual problems greatly impacts married life and may, in some cases, lead to divorce or separation. It’s a problem that can impact a great number of people, including the couple, the children and maybe an extended family. It’s a pity, that we rather keep silent about these issues, than deal with them.
It’s vital to mention here, that MY SKIN CLINIC strongly believes in confidentiality. A concept not fully developed or understood in Pakistan, but it plays a central role for the CEO of Dr Mohammad Mazhar Hussain, that lived in Denmark for 31 years and has received his medical training from there.

PRP Treatment For Sexual Rejuvenation for Women

- Aorgasmia

Vaginal dryness

Some of these factors, may affect the libido which in turn may impact vaginal lubrication.
- Dyspareunia is pain during intercourse. It can be due to many reasons including underlying medical conditions as well as psychological reason. It can be due to factors related to the external genitals, intra-vaginal or deeper and can be a sign of cancer, infection, hormonal imbalance, skin disorder and many other conditions.
- It can also be due to physical or mental stress, the mental inability to relax or enjoy sex which can lead to vaginismus (vaginal muscular spasms). It’s important that you discuss pain during sex with your doctor. Both for the sake of your sex-life and to rule out any underlying (serious) condition.
- Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. It’s caused by less control or complete loss of control, over the urinary sphincter. It’s relatively common and can cause great restriction on a person’s social and sexual life.
PRP can improve libido, increase sexual pleasure and improve the ability to achieve climax, reduce vaginal dryness and reduce or remove dyspareunia/pain during intercourse.

Contraindications for PRP for Sexual Rejuvenation
PRP is generally a very safe procedure. However, as the genital area can potentially carry a number of diseases, we advise caution in the following patients:
- Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) such as Hepatitis B, Herpes Virus and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and bacterial infections such as Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Syphilis.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).
- Infection in and around the ano-genital area.
