Viagra For Women

While it is not common knowledge, many women suffer from sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction is associated more with men -- called erectile dysfunction -- but this does not mean that it doesn't happen to women. Because the sexual function of the female sexual organ is not as pronounced as the male sexual organ -- meaning, with men, there is a quantifiable measure for a third party to determine one's sexual capability (the erection of the penis) -- the problem is not immediately addressed. Like male sexual dysfunction, the dysfunction of women is characterized by their lack of arousal and orgasm. However, studies have shown that female sexual dysfunction is more rooted psychologically rather than physically, saying the cause of this dysfunction is usually rooted in the woman's personal relationship with their partners. These psychological reasons encompass the desire, orgasmic, and arousal disorders of women in terms of sexuality, although there is also a sexual pain disorder, which is physically rooted. Other causes include depression, history of abuse, vaginal infections, excessive alcohol use, certain diseases (like high blood pressure), and effects of medication. This is a serious, common condition among women -- about 43 percent of women worldwide experience female sexual dysfunction. Behind this number is a more surprising statistic -- only 31 percent men suffer from sexual dysfunction, although remedies for erectile dysfunction are widely available.

This situation possesses a curious scenario. With the release of Viagra, many women are wondering if a pill for female sexual dysfunction will also be released -- or, more appropriately, is there a Viagra for women? Unfortunately, the answer is no. The Viagra in the market today is exclusively for women, and there is currently no pill that addresses the needs of women to remedy their sexual dysfunction. But why is this the situation right now? Viagra only deals with the physical aspect of the sexual dysfunction. The pill inhibits a certain chemical in the men's body that prevents men from having an erection. Because of this, it becomes possible for men to have an erection if stimulated sexually. This is the not the case with women. For one, the source of female sexual dysfunction is either psychologically rooted or physically rooted but not always directly connected to their sexual systems. Viagra cannot heal psychological wounds. With there are medicines that are said to work for women, it is not like Viagra, which remedies the problem regardless of the cause.

Pharmaceutical companies today are developing a drug that can increase the blood flow in the women's genitals, which could result to the relaxing and lubrication of the vaginal muscles. Remember that when a women is not sexually stimulated, their vaginal muscles are not lubricated, hence making intercourse difficult for them. While there are no medicines or pill in the market for women that does what Viagra does for men, there are alternatibes, such as the L-arginine amino acid cream or testosterone therapy. There are also ways to arouse women beyond medicinal borders -- from prolonged foreplay to experimentations in sexual positions. What's important is that women find the perfect and suitable cure and remedy for their dysfunctions until there is still no real Viagra for women available.
