Causes and Frequency of Sexual Dysfunction (Including Lubrication and Orgasm)
Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) affects approximately 50% of all U.S. women and 43% of women aged 18-59. (Basson et al., 2000; Laumann et al., 1999) In 2000, the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy classified female sexual dysfunction into six measurable domains: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain. (Rosen et al., 2000) Intercourse pain affects between 46% and 60% of all U.S. women (Heim, 2001; Mathias et al., 1996)
Sexual intimacy and intercourse should provide some of life’s greatest pleasures. But because the female urogenital and reproductive organs are susceptible to adhesions (tiny but powerful internal scars), intercourse can become a time of pain, dissatisfaction, and embarrassment for many women.
During the course of life, the female reproductive tract may be subjected to numerous traumas (e.g., falls or abuse), infections (vaginal, urinary, bacterial, or STDs), inflammations (PID, endometriosis), and surgery. Any of these conditions can lead to adhesion and scar tissue formation at the entrance or walls of the vagina, or in nearby structures. In fact, adhesions can form anywhere in the female reproductive tract, causing painful intercourse and decreased or absent sensation, desire, arousal, lubrication, or orgasm.
Like tiny but very strong straitjackets, adhesions can bind the internal mechanisms of urogenital and reproductive tissues, or attach organs to other structures, restricting movement and function, and sometimes causing pain. Adhesions may act like a blanket, covering and muting the response of some of the delicate tissues that are responsible for sexual response – the vaginal opening, cervix, G-spot, and vaginal walls.
Treatment Overview for Sexual Dysfunction
Clear Passage®️ Treatment
The focus of our therapy is to free these tissues from their adhesive constraints. In a remarkable percentage of cases, CP therapy has been shown to restore function and allow women to return to normal sexual function.
As therapists with years of experience in these areas, we have decreased pain, increased sexual function, and restored the pleasures of intimacy and intercourse for many women. In doing so, we enrich their lives and those of their partners. We recognize and understand the private and intimate aspects of the areas we are treating. All of our work is performed with sensitivity and dignity, by caring professional therapists in private treatment rooms under guidelines established by the American College of Gynecology.
Other Treatment Options
Other treatment options for sexual dysfunction include medications to numb the pain. While sometimes effective, these medications only mask the symptoms, rather than treating the root cause of the problem: adhesions.
Published Results
Scientific citations published in major gynecologic journals showed significant improvement in all areas of female sexual function for women who received our therapy. A study published in the peer-reviewed journal Medscape General Medicine (Wurn et al., 2004b) showed that after receiving the Clear Passage® Approach:
- 78% of women had increased desire (libido)
- 74% had increased arousal
- 70% had increased lubrication
- 56% had increased or first-time orgasms
A second study published in the Journal of Endometriosis showed similar improvements in these areas for women who received our therapy. (Wurn et al., 2011) In fact, these published citations measured statistically significant improvements in all six major areas of female sexual dysfunction: desire (libido), arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain.
