Viagra Product Information, Viagra Reviews

Currently drug and pharmaceutical companies making profit from the success of Viagra — are hoping to find its female equivalent, with much of the medical focus centering upon developing a drug that increases blood flow to the female genitals, resulting in vaginal lubrication and relaxing vaginal muscles.

The general concept is vastly comparable to Viagra, which functions by increasing blood flow to the penis, resulting in an erection. As of current, through research and initiatives promoting sexual health in women there have been several promising drugs of which include: prostaglandin, (which has already been approved for men), apomorphine and phentolamine, both of which are being trialled for arousal disorder in women.
Irrespective of the successes of drug companies in manufacturing a Viagra for women, the great news is that women needn’t wait for a sex pill to solve their problems with research confirming that exercise, counseling, vaginal lubrication products and sexual videos, each assisting with increasing a woman’s libido.

In addition, the three following options, as explained by Health Guide — are readily available today with the promise for improving a woman’s sex life.

• “L-arginine amino acid cream
The same amino acid that has been used by athletes to promote muscle development is purported to increase blood flow to the female genitals, thus sparking sexual urges. “Our informal studies on 500 patients showed that 70 percent of women who applied this cream to the clitoris and labia a half hour before sex reported more arousal and stronger orgasms,” says Dr. Jed Kaminetsky, clinical assistant professor of urology at the New York School of Medicine.

• DHEA
Dehydroepiandrosterone is a male hormone produced by the adrenal gland and ovaries and converted to testosterone and estrogen. DHEA, which depletes with age, can be purchased over the counter in supplement form.In one small study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (Sept. 30, 1999), women who took 50 mg of DHEA daily noticed a significant increase in sexual interest. Other preliminary findings report encouraging results. However, most DHEA products lining the store shelves recommend taking only 25 mg per day. Because of its potential for heart attacks and breast cancer and masculating side-effects such as facial hair, DHEA is best used under a doctor’s supervision.

• Testosterone therapy
For women who have undergone oophorectomy (the removal of one or both ovaries) and hysterectomy, testosterone treatment has shown to improve sexual function and psychological well being, according to recent research from Boston’s Massachusetts General Hospital.”

For women seeking to boost testosterone levels, it is advised that they work closely with their respective physician to monitor hormone levels. As the possibility of an excess hormone level causing unwanted side effects such as facial hair and the alteration of a women’s voice, which is irreversible. Additional, a research conducted which involved investigating the effectiveness of both of L-arginine glutamate and yohimbine as a combination — (which is a natural extract from tree bark that excites part of the central nervous system) — has resulted in postmenopausal women being more than twice as aroused after taking the combination drug and viewing an erotic film than women who took a placebo.
