Women Take Viagra

The History of Viagra

In the 20th century, Pfizer, a pharmaceutical company in Great Britain, discovered a new drug called Sildenafil Citrate. Initially, it was developed to treat heart and vascular system pathologies by enhancing blood circulation in the heart and reducing blood pressure. However, during clinical trials, it was found that the drug had a different effect on men, causing increased erections.

Viagra and Women's Sexual Desire

It is important to note that sexual desire in men and women is different. Men may lack blood flow to the genitals, while women often do not feel sexual desire due to psychological reasons. Viagra (such as sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, kamagra, suhagra, tadacip, revatio, cenforce) works by increasing blood flow to the clitoris, but this is not enough to excite women. Women need courtship, attention, fantasy, and caress for sexual satisfaction.

Viagra and Vaginal Dryness

However, Viagra can be effective for women who experience vaginal dryness. The drug can increase vaginal lubrication, making sexual intercourse more comfortable. Viagra can be taken by women who have a lack of vaginal discharge, and it can also be prescribed by a specialist for certain conditions such as diabetes, menopause, after uterus removal, and painful periods.

Contraindications and Side Effects

Like any drug, Viagra has contraindications and side effects. It should not be taken by women under 18 years old, those with heart and vascular system diseases, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and those with allergic reactions to any component of the pill. Viagra is also contraindicated for women who take other medications for fibroids, cancer, and drugs with nitrites.

Possible side effects of Viagra in women include hypersensitivity of nerve endings, increased vaginal secretion production, and increased blood flow in the pelvic organs. However, these effects are usually short-term and go away after a few hours.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while Viagra was originally developed for men, it can have some benefits for women who experience vaginal dryness. However, it is important to note that Viagra is not a magic pill for women's sexual desire and has certain contraindications and side effects. Women should consult with their healthcare provider before taking Viagra or any other medication for sexual dysfunction.
