What We Treat
Sexual and Urinary Health
Sexual and urinary health are fundamental aspects of your overall wellbeing that significantly impact your quality of life, relationships, and confidence. These intimate health concerns affect both men and women throughout different life stages and can stem from complex interactions between hormones, circulation, nervous system function, psychological factors, and overall health status.
At KALE Functional Medicine in Houston, we provide compassionate, comprehensive care for sexual wellness functional medicine concerns through a holistic approach that addresses the root causes rather than just treating symptoms. Our functional medicine sexual dysfunction treatments recognize that sexual and urinary health issues often reflect broader health imbalances that can be identified and corrected through personalized protocols and holistic sexual health treatment approaches.
Signs and Symptoms
Sexual and urinary health concerns can manifest differently for men and women, but often share common underlying factors. Women may experience decreased libido, difficulty with arousal, painful intercourse, vaginal dryness, or inability to reach orgasm. Urinary symptoms might include frequent urination, urgency, recurrent infections, or stress incontinence that worsens with coughing, laughing, or physical activity. Many women also notice changes in their sexual and urinary health during hormonal transitions like perimenopause and menopause.
Men commonly experience erectile dysfunction, reduced libido, premature or delayed ejaculation, or decreased satisfaction with sexual performance. Urinary symptoms may include difficulty starting urination, weak urine stream, frequent nighttime urination, or the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. These issues can occur at any age but become more common as men get older or experience hormonal changes.
Both men and women may notice that sexual or urinary symptoms seem connected to other health issues like chronic fatigue, mood changes, sleep problems, or stress. Sometimes these concerns develop gradually after life changes, medication use, childbirth, surgery, or during times of increased stress. Many people find that conventional treatments focus on individual symptoms without addressing the interconnected nature of sexual and urinary health with overall wellness.
The impact of these issues extends beyond physical symptoms to affect emotional wellbeing, intimate relationships, and overall quality of life. Many people feel embarrassed or hesitant to discuss these concerns, often suffering in silence when effective, natural solutions are available.
How We Can Help
Comprehensive Assessment and Testing
Our approach to sexual and urinary health begins with a thorough evaluation that explores both physical and emotional factors contributing to your concerns. We conduct detailed health histories that include hormonal status, cardiovascular health, nervous system function, and psychological factors that may be impacting your sexual and urinary wellbeing. Our comprehensive testing may include hormone panels to assess testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and other key hormones that directly impact sexual function. We also evaluate factors like circulation, inflammation, nutrient status, and overall health markers that influence sexual and urinary health.
Hormonal Balance and Optimization
Hormones play a crucial role in sexual desire, arousal, and urinary function for both men and women. Through our hormone optimization protocols, we address imbalances that may be contributing to sexual dysfunction or urinary symptoms. For women, this might involve supporting estrogen and progesterone balance to improve vaginal health, lubrication, and sexual desire. For men, we may focus on optimizing testosterone levels while also addressing other hormones that impact sexual function. Our approach uses natural methods to restore hormonal balance whenever possible.
Advanced Treatment Options
We offer innovative treatments that address sexual and urinary health concerns at their source. Our Emsella therapy utilizes advanced electromagnetic technology to strengthen pelvic floor muscles, which can significantly improve both sexual function and urinary control for women and men. This non-invasive treatment helps restore neuromuscular control and can dramatically improve symptoms like stress incontinence while also enhancing sexual satisfaction.

Nutritional and Lifestyle Support
Sexual and urinary health are deeply connected to overall health status, including cardiovascular function, nervous system health, and energy levels. We provide targeted nutritional recommendations and lifestyle modifications that support healthy circulation, nerve function, and hormone production. This might include specific nutrients that support sexual function, dietary changes that improve circulation and energy, stress management techniques that enhance sexual wellness, and exercise recommendations that support pelvic floor health and overall vitality.
Personalized Treatment Protocols
Based on your individual assessment, we create customized treatment plans that may combine hormonal support, nutritional interventions, lifestyle modifications, and advanced therapies. For women, this might involve addressing vaginal health, supporting hormonal balance during menopause, or strengthening pelvic floor function. For men, we might focus on optimizing testosterone levels, improving circulation, or addressing performance anxiety through integrated approaches.
