Changes in hormones—especially during and after menopause—can lead to genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), a common condition that may cause vaginal dryness, irritation, and painful intercourse. At HerMD, we believe you shouldn’t have to live with discomfort. That’s why we offer custom-compounded DHEA vaginal suppositories through HerMD Pharmacy.
What is DHEA?
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone naturally produced by your body. In a vaginal suppository form, it’s converted locally into estrogen and testosterone, helping restore vaginal tissue health without significantly affecting hormone levels in the rest of your body.
Why patients choose DHEA suppositories from HerMD Pharmacy:
Targets symptoms at the source — Reduces pain and improves vaginal moisture, elasticity, and comfort.
Backed by evidence — Shown in clinical studies to safely and effectively relieve GSM symptoms and improve multiple domains of sexual health and function, including pain during intercourse, desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and satisfaction.
Custom-compounded — Prepared by our trusted pharmacy partner, Curexa, which is licensed in all 50 states and accredited by the NABP.
Convenient & discreet — Prescription is sent electronically, payment is processed at HerMD, and your medication ships directly to your door.
Interested in learning more about your sexual health?
Did you know your provider can evaluate your sexual functioning using a validated tool called the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI)? This questionnaire captures self-reported information on overall and specific domains of sexual function, including:
- Desire
- Arousal
- Lubrication
- Orgasm
- Satisfaction
- Pain
At HerMD, we administer the FSFI to all patients to establish baseline scores and track sexual health over time. This helps us understand the impact of interventions—like medications, lifestyle changes, or other treatments—on your sexual function. Using these results, we create individualized plans aimed at improving your sexual wellness, because we believe sexual health is an essential part of overall health and well-being. Learn more by taking the FSFI questionnaire here.
