Personalized Pelvic & Sexual Health Care at Lake Forest Regenesis
Whole-Person Care Designed Around Your Symptoms, Health & Personal Goals
Lake Forest Regenesis provides personalized pelvic and sexual health care for adults in Lake Forest, Chicago’s North Shore, and Lake County experiencing concerns involving bladder control, pelvic floor function, sexual wellness, hormone-related changes, or intimate health.
Pelvic and sexual health can be influenced by hormones, pelvic floor strength, aging, childbirth, medications, metabolic health, stress, previous procedures, and other medical factors. Because these concerns are often interconnected, treatment begins with understanding the broader clinical picture rather than focusing on a single symptom.
Care may include evaluation of pelvic floor concerns, bladder symptoms, sexual function, hormone health, lifestyle factors, and overall wellness, with treatment options selected according to individual needs. When appropriate, patients may also explore Emsella pelvic floor therapy or hormone optimization as part of their care.
Treatment is led by Allana Bush, FNP-C, with 22 years of healthcare experience and a clinical focus in hormone optimization, sexual wellness, metabolic health, and personalized medical care.

What Is Pelvic & Sexual
Health Care?
A Whole-Person Approach to Pelvic & Intimate Wellness
Pelvic and sexual health care focuses on concerns involving pelvic floor function, bladder control, sexual comfort, arousal, sensation, hormone-related changes, and intimate wellness in both women and men.
These concerns may develop after childbirth, menopause, aging, surgery, medication changes, or hormonal shifts. Because symptoms often have several contributing factors, evaluation looks beyond one concern.
How Pelvic & Sexual Health
Care Works
Your Symptoms, History & Goals Shape Your Plan
Pelvic and sexual health care begins with a detailed review of your symptoms, medical history, medications, previous procedures, stage of life, and personal goals to understand what may be contributing.
Your provider considers factors such as pelvic floor strength, bladder symptoms, hormone health, sexual function, metabolic health, stress, lifestyle, and other relevant clinical concerns rather than evaluating one symptom alone.
Common Pelvic & Sexual Health Concerns
Personalized Care for Bladder, Pelvic Floor, Hormone & Intimate Wellness Concerns
Common concerns include bladder leakage, such as leakage with coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise, and urinary urgency and frequency or difficulty maintaining bladder control. Changes after childbirth, aging, surgery, or reduced activity can also affect pelvic floor strength, coordination, and overall pelvic support.
Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can affect pelvic tissues, bladder symptoms, and vaginal comfort and sexual function. Patients may also seek care for changes in sensation, arousal, or confidence, and men may notice changes in pelvic floor strength, bladder control, or sexual function. Learn more about our women’s sexual health care and erectile dysfunction treatment.
Not sure what type of leakage you have? Our free, 2-minute Bladder Leakage Check shows how leaks are affecting you and whether they lean toward stress or urge leakage.
A Personalized Approach to Pelvic & Sexual Health
Care Designed Around Your Symptoms, Health History & Personal Priorities
Pelvic and sexual health concerns are highly individual, so care should reflect your symptoms, stage of life, medical history, medications, previous treatments, and personal goals rather than following the same approach for every patient.
For some patients, treatment may include Emsella pelvic floor therapy, hormone optimization, lifestyle strategies, additional evaluation, or other supportive care when appropriate. Emsella is FDA-cleared for urinary incontinence; evidence for sexual wellness benefits is more limited.
For everyday health needs outside pelvic and sexual health care, patients can establish care through Direct Primary Care.

What Your Pelvic & Sexual Health Care May Include
Personalized Evaluation & Treatment Based on Your Symptoms, Health & Goals
Symptom Review
Your visit begins with a review of your medical history, medications, symptoms, previous treatments, stage of life, and personal concerns so your provider can understand the broader clinical picture.
Bladder Assessment
Your provider considers concerns involving pelvic floor strength, urinary leakage, urgency, bladder control, pelvic support, and related symptoms when determining appropriate next steps.
Hormone Review
When relevant, care may include evaluation of hormonal changes, sexual function, comfort, sensation, energy, and other factors that may influence your comfort and overall intimate wellness.
Treatment Plan
Recommendations are developed around your individual symptoms, health history, treatment goals, clinical needs, and preferences, with options adjusted as your needs and response change over time.
Pelvic Floor & Bladder Health
Supporting Strength, Control & Confidence Through Personalized Pelvic Care
The pelvic floor muscles help support the bladder, bowel, pelvic organs, core stability, and urinary control. Changes in strength or coordination can contribute to leakage, urgency, reduced pelvic support, and other everyday concerns.
Pelvic floor changes may occur after childbirth, menopause, aging, surgery, hormonal changes, or periods of reduced activity, although symptoms can have several possible causes and may require broader evaluation.
When appropriate, Emsella pelvic floor therapy may be incorporated into a personalized plan to support pelvic floor strength, bladder control, muscle coordination, and pelvic wellness.
Benefits of Personalized Pelvic & Sexual Health Care
Whole-Person Support for Pelvic Function, Bladder Health & Intimate Wellness
Bladder Support
Evaluation may address concerns involving urinary leakage, urgency, pelvic floor weakness, muscle coordination, and overall pelvic support in women and men.
Sexual Wellness
Care may explore factors affecting comfort, sensation, arousal, confidence, and sexual function in both women and men, as part of a broader evaluation.
Hormone Health
Hormonal changes can influence pelvic and sexual wellness. When appropriate, treatment may include hormone evaluation or hormone optimization as part of a broader care plan.
Whole-Person Care
Pelvic and sexual health can be influenced by metabolic health, stress, sleep, medications, lifestyle, and other clinical factors, allowing care to consider the broader health picture.
Sexual Wellness & Hormone Health
Connecting Intimate Wellness With Hormonal, Pelvic & Whole-Person Factors
Sexual wellness can be influenced by hormone levels, pelvic floor function, stress, sleep, medications, metabolic health, relationship factors, and stage of life. Changes in any of these areas may affect comfort, sensation, arousal, confidence, or overall sexual function.
Hormonal changes related to menopause, perimenopause, low testosterone, aging, or other health conditions can also contribute to changes in intimate wellness and may overlap with pelvic floor or bladder concerns.
When appropriate, care may include hormone optimization, Emsella pelvic floor therapy, lifestyle support, or other personalized strategies based on your individual needs and clinical picture.
Pelvic & Sexual Health for Women
Personalized Support Through Childbirth, Hormonal Changes, Menopause & Healthy Aging
Women may experience changes in pelvic floor strength, bladder control, vaginal comfort, sexual function, sensation, and intimate wellness at different stages of life.
Pregnancy, childbirth, perimenopause, menopause, hormonal changes, medications, aging, and previous procedures can all influence pelvic and sexual health. Symptoms may overlap, which is why care should consider the broader clinical picture rather than one concern alone.
When appropriate, care may include Emsella pelvic floor therapy, women’s hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle support, or other individualized strategies.
For concerns like low libido, dryness, or pain with intercourse, learn more about our women’s sexual health care, which looks at every possible cause, not just hormones.
Pelvic & Sexual Health for Men
Personalized Support for Pelvic Function, Bladder Control, Sexual Wellness & Healthy Aging
Men may experience changes in pelvic floor strength, bladder control, sexual function, sensation, and overall intimate wellness due to aging, hormonal changes, previous procedures, medications, or other health factors.
Concerns may develop after prostate procedures, changes in testosterone, pelvic floor weakness, urinary symptoms, or shifts in metabolic and overall health. Because these factors can overlap, care should consider the broader clinical picture.
When appropriate, care may include Emsella pelvic floor therapy, testosterone replacement therapy, lifestyle support, or other individualized strategies based on your clinical needs.
For men with ongoing erection concerns, our erectile dysfunction treatment starts with an evaluation of blood flow, hormones and heart health.

Who May Be a Candidate for Pelvic & Sexual Health Care?
Pelvic and sexual health care may be appropriate for adults experiencing concerns involving urinary leakage, urgency, pelvic floor weakness, sexual discomfort, changes in sensation, arousal, confidence, or hormone-related intimate wellness.
It may also be helpful for patients noticing changes after childbirth, menopause, aging, surgery, hormonal shifts, medication changes, or other health changes that affect pelvic or sexual function.
Some patients seek care because several concerns are occurring together and they want a more comprehensive evaluation of pelvic floor function, bladder symptoms, hormone health, sexual wellness, and overall health factors.
Your provider reviews your symptoms, medical history, medications, previous treatments, stage of life, and individual goals to determine which evaluations or treatment options may be appropriate.
Who May Not Be a Candidate for Pelvic & Sexual Health Treatment?
Pelvic and sexual health treatment may not be appropriate as a stand-alone approach when symptoms suggest an underlying condition that requires specialist evaluation, diagnostic testing, medication management, surgery, or other medical treatment.
Concerns such as unexplained pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, active infection, significant urinary changes, severe prolapse symptoms, or new neurological symptoms may need further evaluation before treatment begins.
Certain therapies may also be inappropriate during pregnancy, after recent procedures, or for patients with specific implanted devices or medical conditions, depending on the treatment being considered.
Your provider reviews your health history, symptoms, medications, previous procedures, and individual risk factors to determine whether care at Lake Forest Regenesis is appropriate or whether referral to another specialist may be the better next step.
Clinical Oversight & Safety
Pelvic and sexual health concerns can have multiple contributing factors, so appropriate evaluation is an important part of determining which treatment options may be suitable.
Before recommending care, your provider reviews your medical history, medications, symptoms, previous procedures, hormone health, pelvic concerns, and other relevant clinical factors.
Some symptoms may require additional evaluation or referral, particularly when there is unexplained pain, bleeding, infection, significant urinary changes, or other concerns that may need specialized care.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, treatment is provided with clinical oversight, individualized recommendations, and realistic expectations, with care adjusted according to your response, comfort, and changing health needs.
When We Refer to a Specialist
If your evaluation points to something beyond Allana’s scope, such as pelvic organ prolapse, blood in the urine, recurrent urinary infections, pelvic pain that needs imaging, or a need for surgery or pelvic floor physical therapy, she refers you to the right specialist, such as a urologist, urogynecologist, or pelvic floor therapist, and helps coordinate next steps.

A Personal Message From Your Provider
Pelvic & Sexual Health Concerns Deserve Thoughtful, Individualized Care
“Many patients live with bladder symptoms, pelvic floor changes, discomfort, or changes in sexual wellness for years before bringing them up because these concerns can feel very personal.
My goal is to create a comfortable, respectful environment where you can talk openly about what you are experiencing and understand what factors may be contributing.
Pelvic and sexual health are often connected to hormone changes, pelvic floor function, medications, lifestyle, metabolic health, and stage of life, which is why I believe care should look at the whole picture.
Treatment should reflect your symptoms, health history, comfort, and personal goals so you feel informed, supported, and confident in the care you receive.”
