“Viagra” for women exists or not? If there is a drug that enhances the sexual desire of men, then have you really come up with anything like this for women? And perhaps the male “Viagra” acts on women too? It is these questions that can be found on the network now, let’s try to answer them with Columonist Beautyhub, certified practitioner, sexologist Sergey Nizholsky And Julia Gayvoronskaya – Sex work, owner of the Gayvoronskaya Sex-Shop store.
Why are women “Viagra”? What are the reasons for the decrease in libido?
At certain moments of a woman’s life, sexual desire fades or disappears completely. There may be many reasons: general and endocrine diseases, psychological factors (experiences and Stress, depression, psycho -trauma), improper sex education, hormonal disorders (menopause, pregnancy, menstruation), physical fatigue, taking certain drugs and much more.
Scientists have found that disorders with reduced sexual desire arise as a result of the woman’s inability to turn off the frontal lobes of the brain that are responsible for performing everyday tasks. Accordingly, areas of the brain responsible for motivation and pleasure do not work normally anymore.
Symptoms of reduced libido in women are manifested in a deterioration in mood, unwillingness to have sex and even aversion to sex, dissatisfaction with an intimate life in general.
Classical Viagra for women: will help or not?
Reference. PThe Viagra Reparate was developed by the Pfizer pharmaceutical giant in the 1990s of the last century as a cure for angina pectoris and high blood pressure. But the drug turned out to be ineffective for the treatment of CSC diseases, but increased an erection at times. So, in 1998, Viagra appeared. Despite its effectiveness, Viagra has many side effects, for example, a heart attack and even a penis rupture. Nevertheless, to this day, the drug brings the company more than one billion dollars has arrived annually.
The success of Viagra among men decided to repeat among women. 20 years ago, the Center for Women’s Sexy Medicine of the University of California conducted the first studies on the influence of Viagra on women in Postmenopause. For about three months, women used Viagra, and they had an increase in sexual desire, the sensitivity of the genitals increased, and the orgasm was brighter, while there were no short -term side effects from the drug. But subsequently a deeper analysis did not show significant results.
A few years after these studies, drugs for women aimed at treatment were developed reduced libido. It is they who are called “female Viagra”, but the classic “Viagra” remained the drug for the treatment of exclusively erectile dysfunction in men.
“Women’s Viagra”: Are there any similar drugs in Ukraine
Sexologist Sergey Nizholsky I am sure that “Women’s Viagra ” – a myth actively supported by pharmaceutical companies.
“The principle of action of“ Viagra ”is the active stimulation of a rush of blood to the penis of a man. The only thing a woman can count on, taking Viagra is an increase in the pulse, an increase in body temperature and a slight dizziness (sometimes headache). “Viagra” needs men not in order to be excited psychologically, but to ensure the hardness of the penis in the absence of the desired erection power. Women in such stimulation do not need in principle due to the lack of penis. Women’s erection, so to say, occurs initially in the head, and then spreads throughout the body. Therefore, to achieve the effect of excitation, you should pay attention to actions, your own and partner, and not rely on Viagra and other pills, like a panacea ”.
Indeed, as soon as the pharmaceutical companies realized that the essence of the female “Viagra” is in the effects of the brain, they began to look for ways to develop such drugs. For example, the US approved treatment reduced libido In women with the help of phlibanserin. Initially, the drug was considered an antidepressant, one of the side effects of which was sexual excitement. British scientists were skeptical of the treatment of sexual disorders in women with medications, believing, like Sergey Nizhlsky, that the problem of reduced libido should be solved in the extreme case in the psychologist’s office if it is difficult for a woman to establish emotional contact with her partner on her own. You can’t cure a bad relationship with a tablet.
There are cases (for medical indications) of treatment of reduced libido in women with hormones, for example, methyltestosterone and Testosterone, who are responsible for sexual excitement. But the dosage of the drug is prescribed exclusively by the doctor after certain biochemical blood tests.
Sex work Julia Gayvoronskaya considers “female Viagra” an illusion. In her opinion, in a sense, “female Viagra” can be considered aphrodisiacs like “Flip flies”. But such drugs can be nephrotoxic, as a result, in addition to excitement, you can get more kidney problems. You can strengthen excitement locally, for example, using Liquid vibrator. The lubricant applied to the genital area will enhance sexual excitement, and sex will bring more joy. But the very problem of reduced libido neither Aphrodisiac nor lubricants will solve, the expert believes.
In 2023 on the US market you can find Addyi, which, according to advertising, returns to women sexual attraction. The ancestor of this drug is all the same Flibanserin. In parallel in America, they develop a drug called Lybrido. It contains sildenafil, the active ingredient of Viagra. But Lybrido is able to strengthen excitation not only in muscles, but also in the brain, therefore suitable for women. In Israel, they are working on the drug based on the hormone of Bremlanotide, which activates neurological receptors associated with a sexual reaction. There is no need to talk about the appearance of both drugs in Ukraine, and the evidence base is also absent yet.
