Default Viagra is also beneficial for women: Study

Italian researchers have come up with a surprising result stating women may be able to benefit from the anti-impotence drug Viagra. This statement is very much contrary to the research projects. The researchers found a significant improvement among women who took the drug.

Viagra was initially designed as a drug for the treatment sexual problems in men. It was supposed to improve blood flow to the penis. However, there has always been a suspicion that its effect might help many of the women who suffer the equivalent form of Sexual Dysfunction, an inability either to attain enough sexual arousal or to maintain it.

Sexual Dysfunction in women is reportedly more common than Impotence is in men. The research concentrated on 53 women in their 20s. All of them were affected by disorders restricting their ability to get sexually aroused. Over four weeks, they were given either a placebo or Viagra and then questioned about any changes. The results suggested that both arousal and the ability to achieve orgasm improved when Viagra was being taken.
According the researchers from the Centre for Sexological Research in the University of Catania, women taking the drug said they were more satisfied with their sex life than those taking the placebo.
In UK, the National Health Service (NHS) is prepared to pay for a rationed quantity of tablets for men whose impotence is found to have a definable physical cause, or for whom it is causing significant psychological distress. However, the NHS is not currently prepared to provide Viagra for women.
Pfizer itself has raised questions on the latest finding of the research. A spokesman for the company said, "till date, Pfizer's Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) studies demonstrate that Viagra has not shown a significant increase in reported sexual arousal.
Even if the findings of the research are doubtful, women don’t need to get disappointed as a libido enhancer drug for them is in the process of making. University of Virginia (UVa) has tested a drug that may boost libido of women who have already lost interest in sex. Researchers are testing a Testosterone gel that may help women boost their libido. UVa joins 99 other medical institutions participating in testing the drug’s efficacy and safety. So, let’s hope for a better news.
