Women Reproduction Health

“A month after I gave birth to my first child, my husband reached for me in bed and started to kiss my neck and caressing my thighs. But while he was lighting candles, I was staring at the ceiling and running through the grocery list in my head,” Kelly said, who is using a pseudonym to protect her privacy.

Due to hormonal shifts during her pregnancy, women sometimes has no longer felt a glimmer of interest in sex because of low on testosterone, the hormone that fuels sexual desire for human.

And when the doctor prescribed pills containing DHEA (a precursor to testosterone) and a testosterone gel that applied to her skin once a day. “Now my husband and I are having pull-the-buttons-off-your-shirt sex again, barely wait until our kids drift off to sleep at night” she says.

Nowadays, drug and supplement makers are competition to create the first “Viagra for women”, it’s difficult because women’s sexual response is physiologically and psychologically more complicated than that of men.
It’s hard for women to know which remedies might solve their sexual problems, and whether these problems require treatment in the first place. Meanwhile many sex remedies are unregulated and may pose risks to women’s health.

At at some point in women lives, most will experience a blip in sexual functioning such as difficulty achieving orgasm, diminished arousal or loss of libido. But If trouble persists, health experts recommend to seek help from both a counselor and a medical doctor.
Psychological evaluation may reveal communication problems in a romantic relationship or trauma stemming from a rape or childhood sexual abuse meanwhile medical tests may reveal hormonal imbalances triggered by pregnancy or by taking prescription drugs.

Doctors may discover that a woman has pain during intercourse because birth control pills don’t mix well with her body chemistry. They may find that she has lost sensation in her pelvis due to nerve damage suffered during childbirth or a hysterectomy.
Doctor may give a woman new prescriptions that are less likely to affect her hormone levels and/or performing a surgery to repair nerve damage or maybe recommend to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor by doing Kegel exercises.

Actually, the federal Food and Drug Administration has yet to approve any sex drugs for women to solve the women sexual disfunction and all of these remedies are prescribed “off-label,” which is administered in a way that is different from their intended use.
Though these off-label applications are still under scientific study, most health advocates approve of them because they are done with a doctor’s supervision.
Many women say off-label treatments have made a terrific difference and literally helped them turn their sex lives around

Across the US, drug and supplement makers are scrambling to create companion sexual pills for women.
Some are developing a pill that stimulates the area of the brain related to sexual arousal, creating a nasal spray designed to improve lubricating secretions, develop a testosterone gel for the treatment of female sexual disfunction and make a testosterone patch designed to boost libido in postmenopausal women.

The development of Viagra and other drugs has kicked up a lot of interest, but it’s going to take time before we figure out what’s really valuable and for whom.
