Sexual Health Q & A
How often should I get a screening for my sexual health?
Men and women who are sexually active should receive screenings on a regular basis.
Dr. Dalvi recommends sexually active women receive a Pap smear every three years. A Pap smear is a comprehensive screening of the female reproductive system to identify signs of cervical cancer development.
When should I get a physical exam?
Physical exams are different than STD and cancer screenings, but they can be vital to your sexual health. Physical exams can be spaced farther apart than sexual screenings.
Men and women should receive physical exams every 3-5 years before they reach the age of 30. After 30, Dr. Dalvi might recommend more frequent checkups.
What treatments do you offer for improved sexual wellness?
Purple Lotus Aesthetics is happy to provide platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) to women looking for improved sexual health and wellness.
PRP can improve:
- Clitoral sensitivity
- Sexual stamina
- Urinary incontinence
- Vaginal lubrication
To perform PRP, Dr. Dalvi draws some of your blood and places it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood cells. Then, he injects the PRP in two places: the clitoris and the area between the urethra and the vaginal wall. By using your own blood, your body can better promote healing.
PRP is a simple, safe, and reliable treatment. It’s also a quick procedure, often taking less than an hour from start to finish. With little recovery time and immediate results, this can be an excellent treatment for women who suffer from low sex drive, incontinence, and sexual dysfunction.
