Women now have a reason to cheer as researchers have recently found interest in finding the use of Viagra on women. Viagra has always been a word that was associated with males, leaving their female counterparts in the darkness of neglect. But with researchers now taking up this topic, feminine power has finally got its due.

There are definitely good reasons for researchers to have drifted their attention on female sexuality. One of them is the change in the perception about female sexual dysfunction. Initially, it was perceived that the reasons behind women not achieving orgasm were psychological in nature. But with new studies taken up, it has been found that the reasons can be physiological as well. Hence, the need of Viagra was felt for the treatment of sexual dysfunction in women.

A decade ago, when Viagra was introduced for men, studies were taken up to know if it can help women and their sexuality in the same way as men. However, before these studies could bear any result, women have already begun to make use of this pill without any prescriptions. And most of them have found it working on them on a positive note.

How Viagra Functions in Women?

In women, Viagra focuses on increasing the flow of blood to the genital area which results into vaginal lubrication. Its main function is to erect the clitoris, similar to that of erecting penis in case of men. For women to have an orgasm, erected clitoris is necessary.

However, a recent study has shown that Viagra really works in case of women who have achieved their menopause. The study was funded by none other than the Viagra maker, Pfizer Inc. Viagra helps women who are suffering from female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) which is a physiological problem related to the flow of blood in the genitals.

Viagra, or any other drug for that matter, cannot help women who are suffering from hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), which is more of a psychological or a relationship-based problem. Viagra is said to have a striking effect in the increase in the sensation of genitals and improvement in intercourse for women not suffering from HSDD, according to this study. However, the study further says that normal levels of testosterone and estrogen have to be present among women for the success of Viagra.

Other Alternatives

Research also shows that other than a pill, regular exercise, counseling, watching erotic sex videos, vaginal lubrication, use of sex toys, etc can also help adding to the excitement of women and taking her to the next level of pleasure.

Women who buy Viagra without a prescription may end up engulfed in unwanted side effects. These drugs are prescribed on individual to individual basis considering the past medical record of the patient. Generic Viagra is an alternative to buying branded drug for women.
