How much do you know about female "Viagra"?

How much do you know about female "Viagra"? A domestic sexual dysfunction seminar brought together dozens of authoritative experts in the country, and female sexual dysfunction became the focus of attention for the first time. "There is no doubt that women have higher demands for quality of life," an expert told reporters, adding that this is an emerging discipline that has just started. According to experts, female "Viagra" may be available soon.

Spray it, female Viagra stimulates sexual desire

You may have never seen this kind of drug. Some media said that "female Viagra may even trigger a sexual revolution in the United States." At this conference, this new drug also became one of the focuses of the conference.

Experts attending the meeting told reporters that a new drug has been invented abroad. It is a nasal spray and a synthetic hormone that is effective in improving the sexual function of rats.

Clinical trials have shown that this new drug can quickly arouse sexual desire, making men feel "younger and more energetic" and women also have sexual desire. The effect of the drug disappears after 4 hours.

It is reported that the production company, which had only 20 employees at the time, named the new drug PT-141, nicknamed "Passion". Although it is effective for both men and women, people prefer to call it "Viagra" for women.

In principle, PT-141 works differently from the male Viagra that is now widely sold. It is a hormone that stimulates the brain's melanocyte receptors, which play an important role in sexual arousal.

Viagra works by allowing blood to flow to the sexual organs to induce an erection in men, but PT-141 is different in that it acts directly on the brains of men and women.

In terms of the way it is used, it also seems to be completely different from other drugs for treating sexual dysfunction.

Experts told reporters that in addition to the new drug, gene therapy as an emerging thing is also attracting much attention. The principle of gene therapy research is to discover that sexual dysfunction is due to the lack of a certain enzyme, and then transfer the enzyme gene into the reproductive organs of rats, which has a significant effect.

However, all gene therapies are still in the laboratory stage, and there are no specific drugs on the market. Compared with female Viagra, it seems a bit further away.

After giving birth, women may suffer from sexual dysfunction

Experts also find it normal that women are the focus of attention at the conference.

Dai Yutian told reporters: "It's not surprising that the quality of women's sex life often affects family happiness.

The research report mentioned that an expert survey of 540 healthy women aged 23 to 55 in my country showed that 55.5% of the women were dissatisfied with their sex life, 39.68% claimed to have difficulty in orgasm, and 31.75% had sex less than twice a month.

Community epidemiological surveys have found that female sexual dysfunction is particularly evident in the first year after marriage, with 80% of women experiencing orgasm disorders.

Marriage experts have even found that sexual problems often occur in the year the first child is born. Pain from episiotomy scars, fear of getting pregnant again, body shape changes, and fatigue are all reasons why women avoid or even hate sex.

Experts told reporters that women will experience special physiological events such as pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and menopause in their lives. Most women will encounter sexual dysfunction during special periods, but few women come to the hospital for treatment, and often there is nowhere to go.

Not only is the heart sick, the body is also "sick"

Experts say that in the past, it was believed that 90% of female sexual dysfunction was caused by psychological factors, but now it seems that some of it is indeed due to problems with women’s mentality.

The other part is physical "illness", which is often ignored by women.

So in addition to psychological factors, endocrine factors, neural factors, vascular factors, muscle and drug factors are also important reasons for the decline in women's sexual interest.

Experts say that this "disease" is sometimes not a real disease, but rather a gradual change in certain indicators of a woman's body as she ages.

For example, among endocrine factors, androgens play a key role in female sexual behavior, especially sexual desire. However, with age, the levels of total circulating androgens and testosterone decrease, and many women experience a decrease in sexual desire.

If androgens and estrogens are used together, the problem of low sexual desire in postmenopausal women can be significantly improved.
