Viagra
for women
Solutions Available: Alternatives To Viagra
Currently, drug companies are looking to provide a treatment similar
to Viagra for women that would increase the blood flow to the
genitals in order to increase lubrication and relax vaginal muscles.
Some products and treatments already available include:
-
L-arginine amino acid cream
purported to increase vaginal blood flow using the same amino
acid previously used by athletes to increase muscle development
-
DHEA or the use of
supplements of the male hormone Dehydroepiandrosterone, which is
produced both by the adrenal gland and ovaries and converted into
testosterone and estrogen. However, use of these supplements carries
the risk of heart attacks, breast cancer, and emasculating side
effects may also occur
-
Testosterone Therapy for
women who have undergone an oophorectomy (ovary removal) or a
hysterectomy. A testosterone patch has recently been created to
improve sexual health in women, but has failed to gain approval by
the FDA
Many of these products and treatments require close monitoring by a
physician since side effects can be severe and include irreversible
changes in a woman’s voice or facial hair. In addition, all of the above
options have yet to be scientifically proven.
The best treatment for sexual dysfunction in women may simply be
exercise, counseling, and vaginal lubrication products which can act as
more natural alternatives to Viagra and improve your overall health and
wellness.
