When the word Viagra comes up, most people think of that little blue pill made especially for male erectile dysfunctions. This is true, but there is Viagra for women also. I’m not talking about a brand derived from the makers of the male version here, nope. I’m talking about comparable female Viagra versions tailored specifically for women.
Libido cream is a compounded cream consisting of sildenafil (Viagra) and aminophylline,
Ever since the 80’s men have had the privilege of having their sexual issues catered to in the form of various sexual enhancement drugs. Meanwhile women were left in the cold as if they had no sexual dysfunctions at all or as if their sexual issues were insignificant. What most people don’t realize is that women suffer from more sexual dysfunctions then men do. In fact, women’s sexual problems have many different causes and can be more complicated.
Most women will experience periods in their life where their libido will be low or completely gone. Experiencing this is normal because there are many factors that can come to play in a women’s life. These factors can include hormonal changes such as post pregnancy and pre menstrual, illnesses, physical, psychological, emotional such as stress, and so on. If your sexual problems are making you uncomfortable you should not be afraid to get help. Depending on what the problem is there are some great Viagra for women alternatives available.
A women’s sexual desire can vary a great deal. No sex drive means that you have no desire or do not want to have sex at all. If this is happening constantly then it can be a problem. If you have a low sex drive, that means you don’t have much of a desire for sex but you might engage in it once in a while. If you feel like this continuously, it can be an issue. If barely having sex does not bother you a bit then that is quite fine. However, if you’re not happy with your lack of desire and enjoyment then it is okay to get medical help.
Web MD states that sexual dysfunction is a well-known side effect of some antidepressants, with up to 70% of men and women on antidepressants reporting sexual problems. It’s a major reason depressed patients stop taking their medication, according to H. George Nurnberg, MD, the study’s lead author and a professor at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in Albuquerque. The study is published in TheJournal of the American Medical Association.
In the study, Nurnberg and his colleagues found that when women being treated with an antidepressant were given Viagra, they were more likely to have orgasms than those on the placebo.
”Seventy-two percent (72%) of the women on Viagra vs. 27% of the women on placebo got to ‘much improved’ or ‘very much improved’ on a scale [of sexual functioning],” says Harry A. Croft, MD, medical director of the San Antonio Psychiatric Research Center in Texas and a co-author on the study.
”What Viagra did was increase the orgasm and the time to orgasm,” says Croft, noting that orgasm difficulties are common in women on antidepressants. The Viagra also improved the satisfaction of the partner, he says. But ”it didn’t increase drive and desire.”
Aside from female Viagra pills or capsules, there are certain creams that claim to have the same effects. They are referred to as female Viagra cream. Cream, pill or capsules, they all act as libido boosters. There are more women than men who experience sexual dysfunction. Since the female Viagra pill isn’t available yet, the quest continues to help affected women. So do these female Viagra creams work in increasing a woman’s desire for sex?
How does a female Viagra cream work? The same way that Viagra increases the blood flow to a men’s penis, the women’s version also increases blood flow and allows clitoral engorgement. These creams work by enhancing nitric oxide production in a woman’s sexual organs. As our bodies produce nitric oxide, which helps in blood circulation and draws blood into the genital area, this causes the clitoris to be aroused and become highly sensitive. This action, which increases arousal, then allows the body to naturally produce moisture. In this process, the clitoris is properly engorged and the vagina is properly lubricated. Orgasm happens when a completely aroused clitoris is correctly stimulated.
Please note that most creams that are called Viagra cream are actually herbal creams consisting of L-Arginine, which also increases nitric oxide and blood flow and can be great products. Some articles will claim that L-Arginine is more effective than Viagra because they increase nitric oxide, but both work on the same mechanism.
However, the studies show that they do not increase effectiveness to the same degree as sildenafil or viagra. Just be aware that what you “think” you are getting is what you are actually getting. “Viagra” cream can only be obtained by a physicians prescription that is formulated by a compounding pharmacy. Check to see if your cream has only L-Arginine and other herbal ingredients or if it has sildenafil.
Is the use of a female Viagra cream addictive? There were mostly positive feedback regarding the use of female Viagra creams and most of them would like to continue their use of the cream. However, there are none of the components of these creams that are physically addictive in nature.
