There is no foolproof evidence of Viagra not working on women

But according to research carried out on 577 women who had issues with sexual arousal for a time period of at least six months, it has been established that Viagra is not very effective in women. This is because sexual difficulties in women are complex in nature.

No Difference When Women Take Viagra

The women took 10, 50 or 100 milligrams of Viagra one hour before sex for three months. The researchers came to the conclusion that Viagra did not make any sort of difference in terms of greater sexual arousal even though Viagra does enhance blood flow to the woman's genital portion.

Difference In Sexes And Use Of Viagra

People are of the view that Viagra does not work on women because they are altogether different from man in terms of their objectives, desires, emotions and at the biochemical level.

Female sexuality is quite complex compared to male sexuality so even after wide array of scientific research involving about 3,000 women, Pfizer has not been able to come up with authentic findings. Not so long ago, Pfizer publicly announced in the media that they are completing research of Viagra in women.

That does not mean there is no any ray of hope for women. Research is going on continuously in a number of other products for the female libido.

Postmenopausal Women And Viagra

Research on postmenopausal women on Viagra has come to the conclusion that the Viagra did have some bearing on the blood flow to the clitoris (quite a number of times uncomfortably so) but did not assist any of the women in getting aroused or feeling more at ease during sex.

The multicenter research, which was conducted in Canada, various cities of Europe, and Australia, consists of pre-menopausal and postmenopausal women who have opted for hormone replacement therapy and have been diagnosed with female sexual arousal disorder, a category that falls under the broad umbrella of sexual dysfunction.

Interestingly, around twenty eight percent 28% of the women reported hypoactive sexual desire disorder as the main symptom. 17% of the women complained of female orgasmic disorder. 9% women were facing issues due to dyspareunia.

Future Research for women and Viagra

A wide array of sexual complaints may have played a prominent role in watering down the effectiveness of Viagra.

Only a small chunk of women suffering with sexual dysfunction have poor genital feedback without any issues involving libido or mental arousal. Yet those are the sorts of patients who should get an advantage from taking Viagra.

That is where future research will study subgroups of women with arousal disorder, especially those who suffer difficulty in getting extra blood to the front portion of the vagina during sex.
