Our Treatments: Understanding the Pieces of Sexual Health

Different treatments address different contributing factors. They are not interchangeable, and not everyone needs all of them. This page explains what each one is, what it is intended to do, and where the evidence is genuinely limited — so you can judge for yourself which pieces deserve attention.

GAINSwave, the provider network under which focused shockwave therapy is delivered at Revitalize Your Health

Circulation

GAINSwave® — focused shockwave

A low-intensity acoustic wave treatment intended to address vascular contributors to erectile dysfunction. It is delivered in clinic, without anaesthetic and without downtime.

  • What it targets: blood flow — one of several contributors to erectile function, not the only one.
  • What it involves: a course of in-clinic sessions; you go about your day afterwards.
  • Who it suits: decided at assessment. It is not appropriate for everyone, and we will say so.
  • Evidence and outcomes vary. We do not promise a result.

The EMSELLA chair at Revitalize Your Health, used fully clothed for pelvic floor stimulation

Pelvic floor

EMSELLA® — pelvic floor stimulation

Electromagnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles, used within appropriate pelvic floor and bladder-control pathways. You sit on the chair fully clothed.

  • What it targets: pelvic floor muscle strength, endurance and coordination.
  • Where it fits: bladder-control and pelvic floor pathways, where it is clinically appropriate.
  • Rarely used alone: it is usually paired with health teaching and habit work, which is where lasting change tends to come from.
  • Not every condition suits EMSELLA alone — some are better served by pelvic floor physiotherapy, a specialist referral, or a combination.

Tissue-focused treatment

PRP injections

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. A sample of your own blood is drawn on the day, spun to concentrate the platelet portion, and injected into the target area.

  • What it is: your own platelets, concentrated. Nothing is added from a donor or a manufacturer.
  • Proposed mechanism: platelets carry growth factors that are proposed to support local tissue repair and blood-vessel formation. That is a proposed mechanism, not an established one.
  • The evidence is limited. Published studies in sexual dysfunction are small and still developing, and results vary between individuals.
  • We will tell you when it is unlikely to help. Being honest about that is part of the assessment.

Hormonal health

Hormone assessment

This is not a Revitalize Your Health service. We do not perform hormone assessment, we do not order or interpret hormone bloodwork as a treatment service, and we do not prescribe or manage hormone therapy. Where hormonal health is worth investigating, that is separate medical care provided by an independent qualified professional — it is included here because understanding the factor matters, not because we offer it.

Hormones can influence desire, arousal, energy, tissue health and general wellbeing. But symptoms alone cannot tell you whether a hormonal imbalance is contributing to your concerns — the symptoms overlap heavily with circulation, pelvic floor and general health causes.

  • Symptoms cannot settle it. Only appropriate bloodwork and assessment by a qualified medical professional can.
  • A normal result is still useful. Ruling hormones out tells you where to look instead.
  • RYH does not provide it — no assessment, no prescribing, no ongoing management.
  • We will not promise another practice’s pricing, availability or acceptance. Those are their decisions.

Why consider your hormones?

Hormones can influence sexual desire, arousal, energy, tissue health and overall wellbeing. But symptoms alone cannot tell us whether a hormonal imbalance is contributing to your concerns.

When clinically indicated, appropriate bloodwork and an assessment by a qualified medical professional can help determine whether hormones are a factor worth addressing. That assessment is not something we provide — and if you choose to have it done independently, anything shared back with us happens only with your consent.

If your hormone levels are appropriateThat is useful information. We can focus on other potential contributors.
If an imbalance is identifiedA qualified medical professional can determine whether treatment is appropriate and discuss the potential benefits and risks. That conversation belongs with them, not with us.
If multiple factors are involvedAddressing more than one contributing factor may support a more comprehensive approach to improving function.

Different treatments address different needs

Circulation-focused treatments, pelvic floor therapies and medically indicated hormone treatment are not interchangeable. Each may address a different contributing factor.

Our goal isn’t to recommend every treatment to every patient. It’s to help you understand which pieces of your sexual health deserve attention so you can make informed decisions about your care.

Better understanding. More personalized care. A clearer path toward your best possible function.

Why addressing more than one factor matters

Sexual function rarely depends on just one factor. A person may experience circulation-related concerns alongside pelvic floor dysfunction, hormonal changes or other health conditions.

When more than one contributor is identified, addressing those factors appropriately may support a more comprehensive treatment plan.

That doesn’t mean everyone needs every treatment. It means understanding the individual pieces before deciding which ones deserve attention.

A note on what we are not claiming: we have no evidence that combining independent hormone treatment with procedures performed here produces better results than either on its own, and we do not claim it does. What we can do is help you identify the contributing factors, and be clear about which ones we treat and which we do not.
