Sexual Wellness & Fertility Care in Aventura
Sexual wellness and fertility care at Taurel Women’s Health addresses low libido, pain with intercourse, vaginal dryness, recurrent urinary infections, and fertility planning. These are medical conditions with names and treatments — most women notice a real difference within a few weeks of starting the right one.
There is something a lot of women wait years to bring up
Sex has started to hurt. Or desire disappeared and nobody explained why. Or intimacy became something to brace for instead of something to want.
None of that is something you are meant to live with, and none of it is simply “part of getting older.”
Sexual wellness — what we treat
1
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM).
As estrogen declines, vaginal and urinary tissue becomes thinner, less elastic, and less lubricated. It is a physical change in a part of the body that is highly sensitive to hormones, and it is extremely common. It does not only show up during intimacy — it can mean daily dryness, irritation, burning, urinary urgency, or urinary infections that keep returning for no clear reason. Left alone it does not improve on its own, and lubricant alone is rarely enough.
Treatment options include low-dose vaginal estrogen, which works directly on the tissue with very little reaching the rest of the body — which is why it can often be considered even for women who have been told hormones were not for them. That is a conversation worth having based on your own history.
2
Low libido and desire changes.
Evaluated properly: hormones, sleep, mood, medications (antidepressants and some contraceptives affect desire), relationship context, pain, and thyroid. Treatment may include systemic hormone therapy, addressing pain first, medication review, or carefully monitored testosterone therapy where appropriate.
3
Pain with intercourse.
Including pain from GSM, pelvic floor dysfunction, vulvar conditions, recurrent infections, and endometriosis-related pain — with referral to pelvic floor physical therapy when that is what the case calls for.
4
Recurrent urinary tract infections and vulvovaginal symptoms,
including recurrent yeast and bacterial vaginosis.
5
Orgasm and arousal changes,
discussed without embarrassment, because they are clinical information.
Fertility — what we offer
Rebecca Taurel spent nine years as a reproductive endocrinologist and gynecologist at Hospital de Clínicas Caracas, so fertility conversations here start from a specialist background:
Preconception consultation:
labs, medication review, cycle assessment, and a realistic plan before you start trying.
Ovulation tracking and cycle evaluation,
including irregular or absent ovulation.
Fertility workup:
hormonal evaluation, ovarian reserve assessment, and imaging coordination.
PCOS and fertility:
ovulation is often less predictable with PCOS, which can mean conception takes longer — but it is one of the situations that responds best to medical support. A PCOS diagnosis does not mean you will not become a mother.
Thyroid, prolactin, and metabolic factors
that affect conception.
Recurrent pregnancy loss evaluation
and coordination.
Referral and coordination
with reproductive endocrinology and IVF centers when advanced treatment is the right next step.
What the visit is like

Depending on your insurance plan and the services received, additional costs such as copayments may apply. Please contact our office for a clear breakdown based on your specific situation.
