Dr. Lynne B. Ahn understands how very personal sexual dysfunction issues are, and she treats them with the sensitivity and respect that they demand. Her goal is to help every patient recapture the satisfying sex life they deserve, regardless of age.

Sexual Dysfunction Problems Affecting Men

Low Sex Drive

Hormonal imbalance is often to blame for low libido in men. With age, testosterone levels can fall, estrogen levels can rise, or both can occur simultaneously. Some men also experience elevated prolactin levels, a hormone that kills the desire for sex. When a man’s hormones are thrown off, his urge to have sex isn’t quite what it used to be.

Erectile Dysfunction

Some men have the desire to have sex, but erectile dysfunction interferes with their sexual satisfaction. Erectile dysfunction may occur due to low testosterone, elevated estrogen, underlying health conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease), or certain medications (e.g., antidepressants, blood pressure medications).

Dr. Ahn and her staff are amazing! I haven’t been feeling like myself over the past few years, and wasn’t getting answers from other doctor visits. I knew it was time to invest in my health, so I did my research and found Ahn Point Wellness. Dr. Ahn’s approach to wellness is exactly what I wanted. She does a thorough and comprehensive series of tests in order to get a complete overview of your health. At the follow-up appointment, she spends time explaining the test results and walks you through options and recommendations that address your personal needs. It’s been a month since my follow-up, and I’m starting to feel like my old self again. I highly recommend Ahn Point Wellness!

Dr. Ahn is an unmatched, excellent gastroenterologist; she has a vast clinical experience and depth of knowledge, which fortifies her clinical ability. I am a retired physician and, as such, highly endorse her ability in gastrointestinal disorders, as I found when she treated me. I am pleased to support her superb medical abilities.

I met with Dr. Ahn virtually in October of 2020 to discuss my experience with menopause and how to best protect my body in the future. I had thought about using hormone therapy, but wasn’t quite sure it was for me. Dr. Ahn explained the many benefits of HRT not only to alleviate menopausal symptoms, but to preserve my brain, organs, and bones as I continue to age. She did extensive blood work to determine my hormone levels, micronutrients, and an in-depth review of my cholesterol. She then prescribed a combination of HRT and supplements to boost my health and well-being, while also taking into consideration my lifestyle and not wanting to wake up and take 20 pills every day! Dr. Ahn practices a unique approach to women’s health whereby she spends a lot of time understanding her patients, and then digs into the data to formulate a customized wellness routine that optimizes their health. Her vast knowledge of women’s health and her attention to patient needs are unmatched!

I found Dr. Ahn when I was looking at available options for menopausal relief. First and foremost, she is kind, thoughtful, and willing to spend the time to find the right solution for you. A huge bonus is that she is a gastroenterologist, especially when trying to find your best path to wellness. Bottom line: she is my favorite doctor and the one I go to first with any questions.

I thought fatigue was just something that I would have to deal with, and I accepted it as “what happens when you get older.” I’m 47 and had lost my libido, and that was bothering me because I have a very loving husband. After seeing Dr. Ahn and starting the hormone replacement prescriptions and supplements, my sleep improved tremendously, and so did my energy level. And let’s just say my husband has also noticed other changes, and we are both much happier!

I waited and looked a long time to find a doctor like Dr. Ahn. While I knew I wanted someone to help me navigate the pitfalls of menopause, I was thrilled to find a female physician who had a passionate interest and firsthand understanding of this particular and taxing time in a woman’s life.

Dr. Ahn is passionate, energetic, and thoughtful about the management of my menopause and all of its related, not-so-fun side effects. She is available regularly and has been very responsive to all my questions. I have also become more informed about how I can help manage the whole aging process.
I am thrilled to have found her and have been completely happy to share her with many friends who currently find themselves at the start of this chapter in their lives. Wish I could have found her earlier.

Sexual Dysfunction Problems Affecting Women

Low Sex Drive

A low libido is often the result of hormonal imbalances that occur during menopause and perimenopause. As estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone (and sometimes thyroid) levels drop, the desire for sex can, too. Hormone imbalance can also cause other symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, depression, and insomnia, which rob a woman of her sexual urges.

Vaginal Dryness

Around menopause, natural vaginal lubrication starts to dwindle, making intercourse unpleasant and even painful. This occurs mostly due to a drop in estrogen levels, but testosterone can also play a role in the problem. In addition to painful intercourse, vaginal dryness can cause other symptoms such as itching and burning, increased risk of infection, and urinary incontinence.
