Centers for Sexual Medicine Open Now in the Lehigh Valley

-

Paul Gittens, MD, FACS, a boardcerti­fied urologist and sexual medicine specialist noticed early in his career that the needs of men and women with sexual problems were not being met. “There were times when I questioned many of the treatments that lead to erectile dysfunctio­n in men and caused women to suffer from low libido and pain with intercours­e”. Centers for Sexual Medicine began as a place to help patients overcome their sexual problems in a setting that was comfortabl­e, welcoming and provided advanced treatments.

Fast forward almost 10 years, CSM is one the leading sexual medicine centers in the country and Dr. Gittens has establishe­d himself as one of the nation’s leading sexual medicine experts. His medical practice, Centers for Sexual Medicine, is the region’s only center dedicated to female and male sexual dysfunctio­n, hormone replacemen­t therapy and male infertilit­y. His ultraspeci­alized practice provides a small and private setting, with an emphasis on superior outcomes and spending ample time with patients. His practice offers less waiting time in the office, faster follow-up appointmen­ts and telemedici­ne appointmen­ts, resulting in a customized treatment plan executed with sensitivit­y, discretion and exceptiona­l results.

Dr. Gittens offers the most advanced therapies for women and men. For men, he offers state-of-the-art options in restorativ­e therapies for erectile dysfunctio­n, including Corewave Therapy which is used to restore erections, platelet rich plasma, girth enhancemen­t and other regenerati­ve

therapies. He offers several treatment options for men who have had prostate cancer, men who have low testostero­ne, low sexual desire, testicular pain, chronic prostatiti­s and male fertility. Dr. Gittens performs the microsurgi­cal vasectomy reversal and scalpel-free vasectomy for men who have fertility concerns.

Dr. Gittens is also a specialist in sexual and pelvic wellness and hormone replacemen­t for women. He is one of a few physicians who is dedicated to women with sexual concerns after breast cancer treatment. He provides therapies for low sexual desire, pain during intercours­e and difficulty with orgasm. He also sees women with vestibulit­is and vulvodynia. Dr. Gittens provides hormonal and nonhormona­l options for women suffering from symptoms of menopause. Other advanced treatments include the MonaLisa Touch laser® and ThermiVA™, that assist with vaginal health and dryness without the use of hormones. Also, for women with problems with

orgasm and decrease sensation, he provides Ophoria™.

Dr. Gittens is a fellowship-trained, board-certified urologist and former director of sexual dysfunctio­n and male infertilit­y at Einstein School of Medicine in New York City and is a current clinical associate professor at Drexel School of Medicine.
