Vyleesi Is the Newest Medication For Female Libido Enhancement   Females have more trouble with libido and desire than they do with arousal and orgasm, a low desire medical condition called hypoactive sexual desire disorder that occurs in 10% of all women prior to menopause. Although male desire is often simultaneous with erection, females need to have their interest piqued before they lubricate and physically desire sex. This is why Viagra and Cialis are effective for males, but physiologically not designed for female sexuality. So the ‘Pink Pills’ have to work on a unique pathway that involves the brain, not the vagina, where as Viagra and Cialis stimulate the penis before the brain. Vylessi is the newest Pink Pill to win FDA approval.   Addyi was the first medication to be approved for low female libido. There are a few non-FDA approved herbal medications that have shown some promise, but in most studies they didn't out perform placebo. Dr. Tru...

When you see your gyno it's important to be able to discuss the issue of sex: not just sexual risks and STDs (although you definitely need to discuss that); but the whole topic: your libido, your arousals, your orgasms, your partner relationships, your cycle and sex, any pain, any prior unwanted sex,it's all important and all of these concerns may relate to the use of birth control pills. Gynos love to look at hormone levels, and in turn, we love to try to tag our sexual behavior to specific hormones, lack of hormones, or lack of effective hormone levels. To the extent that oral contraceptives can alter our sexual hormones, being on the birth control pill might affect how your sex life is. A study attempted to be the first to look at how sexual function was on birth control pills and it was just published on line. Overall women did not have adverse effects on their sexual function although when researchers looked specifically at desire, arousal, and pleasure which all decreas...

Do you wonder if you have sexual health. Unlike other health concerns, it's not merely the absence of problems or disease that means sexual health. The World Health Organization defines sexual health in a very comprehensive interesting way, although this is not necessary for health, it is complex to be sexually healthy. The World Health Organization, in collaboration with the World Association for Sexuality actually defined sexual health   began looking at sexuality together since 1975. And the WHO issued a definition of sexual health as “a state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being in relation to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity.” The statement goes on to say, “Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination, and violence. For sexual health to be attained and mai...

Partial Imperforate hymen The endless search for the female go to pill for libido and sexuality is not over, but it's not been very successful so far. In the herbal and supplement world many various herbals and vitamins have been associated with improvement in sexuality, including L-arginine, ginseng, ginkgo, damiana, multivitamins, and minerals. Marie Claire and a number of other media sources have published articles regarding this topic, a recent one being Pleasure in a Pill? It is definitely worth the read, and it's definitely worth a gab with your gyno if you just aren't feeling it tonight, or very often at all. Spoiler alert: the first paragraph is a date night scenario; and yes, us gynos highly recommend making time for making some sex play. Half the battle is won by showing up, to use a sports analogy!

Daily we get asked in our gyno office to recommend treatment for low sexual function. For women this might mean treating low libido, poor arousal, vaginal pain, or orgasms themselves. The right stuff to make you perform. If you have no orgasms and you think that a love potion might work, well, maybe it will Sexual Dysfunction in the gyno world is often viewed with the rather pedantic evaluation of hormone levels, the functioning gyno anatomy, and the presence or absence of gynecologic disease. We think only 1% of women or less are physically incapable of orgasm, and that is a very rare condition. In most cases we don't get asked to give a potion to make our loved one love us more, but maybe this does exist as well. Tales of love potions to be believed, maybe the one that worked for Isolde would work for you. The pre-Arthurian Celtic romance between the Irish Knight Tristan and the Cornish Isolde, has many versions, but in one that passion was fueled by the right fortification! ...
