Treatment Options

Peyronie's Disease

When scar tissue develops under the skin of the penis due to trauma or minor injury, Peyronie’s disease may occur.

Treatment Options

Male Infertility

Male infertility does not mean that the man is unable to impregnate his female partner, it simply means that he has a decreased likelihood of doing so.

Treatment Options

Male Incontinence

Bladder (or urinary) incontinence is the unintentional loss of urine. It is a serious problem that men are reluctant to discuss with others. When the muscle (sphincter) that holds the bladder neck closed is not strong enough to retain urine in the bladder, the result is urinary incontinence.

Treatment Options

Low Testosterone

Low testosterone levels may lead to symptoms such as fatigue, depression, low libido, weight gain, and decreased muscle mass. Healthy testosterone levels are essential for overall well-being and prevention of certain chronic diseases. At Pazona MD, we can help ensure you have healthy testosterone levels through testosterone replacement therapy.

Women's Health

Brooke Faught and Dr. Ashley Tapscott treat many common female-specific medical conditions at Southern Sexual Health in Nashville, TN. They are specially trained to diagnose and treat problems pertaining to a patient’s sexual health. This includes any conditions relating to a woman’s reproductive health, though most often these concerns are the result of sudden bodily changes during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.

Sexual health is an important aspect of your general health that is often overlooked. It’s always important to be aware of general safe sex practices and new forms of birth control, but it’s vital for women to reach out if they have any questions or concerns regarding their sexual health.

Sexual Dysfunction

  • Libido
  • Arousal: Many women can experience a decrease in their sexual sensitivity over time, which can make it much more difficult to enjoy sexual encounters.
  • Orgasm: Up to 41% of women are estimated to have difficulty in reaching orgasm even after significant sexual stimulation, particularly those of a more mature age.
  • Pain
  • Lichen Sclerosus: Lichen sclerosus is a condition of the skin that leads to white, discolored patches of the genital and anal areas. These patches most often affect postmenopausal women.

Hormonal Imbalance

As its name would suggest, a hormonal imbalance is a condition that describes an individual with either too much or too little of a particular hormone in their body. This condition affects both men and women.

Treatment Options

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when the pelvic floor muscles are too weak, too tight, or there is an imbalance in their function. This condition can lead to a variety of symptoms, affecting both men and women, although it is more common in women.

Treatment Options

Interstitial Cystitis

When the bladder becomes filled with urine, the pelvic nerves communicate to the brain that it is time to urinate. For those with interstitial cystitis (IC), these signals may fire too frequently or at the wrong time, causing the urge to urinate even when there is only a small amount of urine in the bladder.

Treatment Options

Vaginal Atrophy

As a woman transitions through menopause, it is common for vaginal tissues to begin deteriorating, which can lead to several concerning symptoms including pain, inflammation, and more.

Treatment Options

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when muscles and ligaments in the pelvic floor are stretched or become too weak to hold the organs in the pelvis in their proper place.

Treatment Options

Female Incontinence

This is actually a common issue for women more than men and can cause leaky bladders and overwhelming urges to urinate or false alarms.

Treatment Options

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

A urinary tract infection, or a UTI, is an infection in the urinary system that is typically found in the bladder. Urinary tract infections are more often found in women than men.

Treatment Options

Vaginal Dryness

A common side effect from vaginal atrophy, vaginal dryness occurs when the body is unable to naturally produce adequate levels of the female sex hormone estrogen
