How Compounded Creams Can Empower Women’s Sexual Health
A Personalized, Respectful Approach to Intimacy and Wellbeing
For too long, conversations around women’s sexual health have been whispered about—if they’ve happened at all.
At Skippack Pharmacy, we believe it’s time to change that.
Sexual wellness is an essential part of overall health, yet many women continue to suffer in silence due to stigma, misinformation, or a lack of tailored treatment options. We’re here to say: you are not alone—and support is available.
Understanding Female Sexual Wellness
Like any other aspect of health, sexual wellbeing is influenced by a variety of factors—from hormonal imbalances and stress to chronic conditions and side effects from medications. According to CareFirst Specialty Pharmacy, “Whether you are a man or a woman, sexual health problems can affect people physically and emotionally, decreasing interest in sexual activity as well as self-confidence.”
Importantly, these challenges are common—and treatable.
Medical providers today have a growing number of tools to support women facing concerns like:
- Low libido or reduced arousal
- Discomfort during intimacy
- Difficulty achieving sexual satisfaction
- Hormonal or circulation-related changes during menopause
The right treatment may involve counseling, lifestyle changes, and personalized medication—or, more often, a thoughtful combination of all three.
Where Compounded Creams Come In
While many commercial medications focus on male sexual dysfunction, compounded prescriptions offer an exciting, individualized solution for women. These creams, made from scratch at specialty pharmacies like Skippack, combine safe, clinically-studied ingredients to enhance blood flow, improve sensitivity, and support physical arousal—without the side effects often found in systemic treatments.
Recent studies have shown promise in creams containing vasodilators—ingredients that gently relax blood vessels to increase circulation to sensitive areas. One pilot study investigated a combination of three vasodilators with different mechanisms of action, noting their potential to safely and effectively support female sexual desire and function.
These formulas are especially valuable because:
- They are thoughtfully formulated with multiple ingredients that work synergistically to address key aspects of sexual dysfunction, helping many women achieve their wellness goals.
- They avoid unnecessary fillers or allergens.
- They offer local action with minimal systemic exposure, reducing risk of side effects.
At Skippack Pharmacy, we carefully formulate creams using thoughtfully selected ingredients such as alprostadil, papaverine, and arginine, based on guidance from your healthcare provider.
Why Talking About It Matters
Too often, women hesitate to bring up sexual concerns with their providers out of embarrassment or fear of being dismissed. But your sexual wellbeing matters—and you deserve to be heard.
As CareFirst Pharmacy wisely puts it, “It is rare that one problem has a single solution, and it is often best to combine medications with counseling and/or self-help measures.” That’s why compounded therapies are such a powerful tool—they can be adapted to your unique situation, and integrated into a broader wellness plan that truly supports your quality of life.
