Introduction and ObjectivesAging, menopause and risk factors such as hypercholesterolemia, and prior pelvic surgery (hysterectomy) have been associated with sexual arousal disorders in women.
The female sexual response has been difficult to quantify and evaluate objectively.
The goals of this study were to utilize contemporary medical technologies to evaluate the female sexual response in the clinical setting, and to assess the effect of sildenafil on these responses.
Materials and Methods17 post-menopausal or hysterectomized women (mean age 45 +/- 9.8; range 28-70) were evaluated.
Duplex doppler ultrasonography of genital blood flow velocity, vaginal pH, and vaginal compliance were measured pre and post sexual stimulation.
The study used a 15-minute erotic video made for women and vibrator like the ones here. The same protocol was implemented following placebo and
100 mg viagra pill manufactured by the Pfizer company.
ResultsSexual stimulation resulted in significant increase in baseline clitoral, labial and urethral blood flow velocity (p less than .05), as well as moderate increase in vaginal compliance.
Genital blood flow and vaginal compliance increased with sildenafil, however the changes did not reach statistical significance. Sildenafil resulted in significant increases in vaginal pH compared to baseline and placebo (p less than .05).
No patient experienced any adverse effect to treatment.
ConclusionsUsing this methodology,
sildenafil appears to enhance the female sexual response to visual and vibratory stimulation.
Pre and post stimulation vaginal pH levels were significantly increased with sildenafil compared to placebo. Genital blood flow, primarily clitoral, increased as well.
In this population of women, vasoactive agents such as sildenafil may improve sexual complaints associated with diminished genital blood flow.
Infertile Women Who Used
Viagra Got Pregnant in Study
From the April 2000 edition of the British Journal Of Human Reproduction.
The drug Viagra may provide hope for some infertile women.
In a recent study, three of four women who had been unable to conceive did so when they used the drug.
female erection blood flow
Viagra works by increasing blood flow. The women in the study had thin uterine linings, a problem that prevents a fertilized egg from developing. It's theorized that
order cialis increases blood flow to the uterus and makes the lining thicker.
Still, some fertility experts are worried the drug could harm babies. Many warn that infertile women should not start taking
cialis without understanding the risks involved.
