Viagra for women

In 1999 Viagra awas approved by FDA to treat erectile dysfunction in men. However, not only men experience sexual problems. Currently, a lot of scientist tries to develop medicines that will help women tio improve libido and sexual health. Unfortunately, today there is no approved medicines for the treatment of decreased female libido and sexual health problems.

How does Viagra act?

Branded Viagra manufactured by Pfizer woks by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme called PDE5 or A phosphodiesterase type 5. This enzyme is responsible for the inactivation of cGMP. By inhibiting the activity of these enzyme Viagra increases the amount of cyclic GMP leading to the relaxation of the blood vessels in the cavernous tissue and improving blood flow to the penis.

Women and sexual health

A lot of investigations shows that nearly 43% of all women suffer from different sexual problems. Usually these sexual problems are manifested in lack of orgasm, sexual desire and excitement. Lack of sexual desire or simply decreased libido is one of the most women’s complains. Also according to one investigation nearly 20% of all these women complain on the deficient production of lubricant in the Vagina. Some scientists consider that Viagra may be helpful for women to improve blood flow to female genitals and stimulate the production of lubricant.

The problems in the women sexual health is usually associated with the following factors:

• relationship and family factors
• financial problems
• physical or emotional overloads
• depression

The physical factors usually include: high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, blood diseases, thyroid disorders and others.

There are solution that can be alternative to the male Viagra. These Viagra alternatives include:

L-arginine amino acid cream. It is considered that L-arginine works by improving blood flow to the female genitals

DHEA and herbal supplements that stimulate the production of Dehydroepiandrosteron. It is considered that this hormone increase libido. However, women taking DHEA product may face to heart attacks, strokes and breast cancer. A lot of other side effects are common as well.

Testosterone therapy. It was invented a patch with testosterone that would improve women’s sexual health. However, it is still not approved by FDA.

We think that the best solution for improving women’s health are regular physical exercises,  relaxation, lubricants and herbal supplements that work naturally and are lack of any significant side effects. All these will help to replace any available Viagra for Women drugs.
