She specializes in treating sexual dysfunction in women and restoring physical intimacy.

Partners are welcome
You are welcome to bring your partner to your appointment. Dr. Yasmin has extensive training and experience in sexual problems in women that impact their relationships, and partners are always encouraged to be part of the journey.
Survivorship care and chronic illness
Cancer survivors and women with chronic illness like autoimmune diseases, MS and fibromyalgia can have profound symptoms involving vulvo-vaginal health. This needs a unique approach to treatment involving personalized and collaborative care.
Dr. Yasmin specializes in restoring physical intimacy during survivorship care after cancer and for people living with conditions like fibromyalgia, diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune disorders and other chronic illnesses.

How we evaluate and treat low libido and orgasm concerns
Sexual concerns rarely have a single cause, so we look at the whole picture. We take time to talk about your symptoms and history, medications, hormonal changes such as perimenopause or menopause, chronic health conditions, stress, mood, relationship factors and any pain with intimacy. A physical exam, done in a trauma-informed way, may be part of the evaluation; for North Carolina patients, it takes place in person at our Raleigh office. Lab work may be recommended in some cases. Depending on what we find, options may include education and counseling, reviewing medications or medical conditions that may play a role, treating vaginal dryness or pain, hormone therapy when appropriate, and working with other specialists. Every plan is individualized, and partners are welcome to be part of the conversation.
What patients say
After several years of telling my Dr’s that I had what seemed to be abnormally low libido (I thought I was strange in my mid 30’s). Not one of them was willing to help me in the slightest and even suggested it was normal. Thankfully a friend suggested I seek Dr. Yasmin and OMG I cannot thank that person enough!
Dr Yasmin explained the physiology of the woman’s mind, body, hormones and told me how she could help me depending on the course of action I chose. Yes she gave me several. Key point, she was excited and confident she could help me!!!
After working with Dr. Yasmin my life has seriously changed. I am so happy with her caring and compassionate manner, the time she would spend with me to make sure I was taken care of and happy with the care she was providing.
There are options for women out there…Finally!

Meeting Dr. Yasmin changed my life! For years I had been complaining about my intimacy issues and was dismissed by my doctors. Dr. Yasmin not only heard me but understood my complaints. She gave me hope and restored my quality of life. I am so grateful I found her. Dr. Yasmin is a doctor that truly cares about you as a human being not just patient #… she is concerned about you and your needs! I highly recommend her and the services she offers.
