in Lake Forest, IL
Provider-Guided Care for Pelvic Health, Sexual Wellness & Intimate Concerns in Women and Men
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 more than 20 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 Function, Intimate Wellness & Quality of Life
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, hormonal shifts, or other health changes. Because symptoms can have several contributing factors, evaluation looks beyond a single concern.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, care may include discussion of pelvic floor symptoms, urinary concerns, sexual function, hormone health, metabolic factors, medications, stress, lifestyle, and previous treatments to better understand the clinical picture.
Treatment is individualized and may include Emsella pelvic floor therapy, hormone optimization, lifestyle support, additional evaluation, or other supportive strategies when appropriate, based on your health history, symptoms, comfort, and personal goals.
How Pelvic & Sexual Health
Care Works
Connecting Your Symptoms, Health History & Goals to a Personalized Care 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.
When appropriate, your care plan may include Emsella pelvic floor therapy, hormone optimization, lifestyle support, additional evaluation, or other treatment strategies selected according to your individual needs and suitability.
Follow-up allows your provider to review your response, comfort, symptom changes, and evolving goals so care can be adjusted over time and remain aligned with your broader pelvic and sexual health needs.
Common Pelvic & Sexual Health Concerns
Personalized Care for Bladder, Pelvic Floor, Hormone & Intimate Wellness Concerns
Bladder Leakage
Concerns such as leakage with coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercise, or other daily activities may be related to pelvic floor weakness or changes in pelvic support.
Urgency & Bladder Control
Some patients experience urinary urgency, frequency, or difficulty maintaining bladder control, which may involve pelvic floor function along with other medical or lifestyle factors.
Pelvic Floor Weakness
Changes after childbirth, aging, surgery, or reduced activity can affect pelvic floor strength, coordination, endurance, and overall pelvic support.
Menopause & Hormonal Changes
Hormonal shifts can influence pelvic tissues, vaginal comfort, sexual function, bladder symptoms, and overall intimate wellness during menopause and other stages of life.
Sexual Function & Comfort
Patients may seek care for concerns involving sensation, arousal, comfort, confidence, or changes in sexual function that may have pelvic, hormonal, or broader health contributors.
Pelvic & Sexual Wellness for Men
Men may experience changes involving pelvic floor strength, bladder control, sexual function, or recovery after certain procedures, requiring an individualized evaluation and care plan.
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.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, your provider considers how pelvic floor function, bladder symptoms, hormone health, sexual wellness, metabolic health, stress, and lifestyle factors may interact.
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.
The goal is to develop a personalized and comfortable care plan that addresses the concerns most important to you while allowing treatment to evolve as your symptoms, response, and health priorities change.
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
Health & Symptom Review
Your visit begins with a review of your medical history, medications, symptoms, previous treatments, stage of life, and personal concerns to understand the broader clinical picture.
Pelvic Floor & 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 & Sexual Wellness Review
When relevant, care may include evaluation of hormonal changes, sexual function, comfort, sensation, energy, and other factors that may influence intimate wellness.
Personalized Care 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.
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.

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.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, bladder and pelvic floor concerns are reviewed within the context of your health history, symptoms, medications, stage of life, and overall wellness rather than treated as an isolated problem.
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.
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.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, sexual wellness concerns are reviewed within the context of your symptoms, health history, medications, hormone health, pelvic function, and personal goals rather than being treated as a single isolated issue.
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.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, women’s pelvic and sexual health care is personalized around symptoms, hormone health, pelvic floor function, bladder concerns, medications, lifestyle, and individual goals.
When appropriate, care may include Emsella pelvic floor therapy, women’s hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle support, or other individualized strategies.

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.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, men’s pelvic and sexual health care is personalized around symptoms, hormone health, pelvic floor function, bladder concerns, medications, lifestyle, and individual goals.
When appropriate, care may include Emsella pelvic floor therapy, testosterone replacement therapy, lifestyle support, or other individualized strategies based on your clinical needs.
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.
