It is essential for men and women to realise that female sexual dysfunction is in most cases completely different to the problem of male sexual dysfunction. In the vast majority of cases men who are unable to perform sexually have a simple problem with blood flow to the penile artery which means that they are unable to maintain an erection. A very small percentage of men who suffer from erectile dysfunction do so because of psychological problems.

In the question of female sexual dysfunction the problem is that the women are unable to enjoy sex and have a much reduced libido rather than being not able to actually perform the act of sex. This is in fact fairly obvious as a woman is able to have sex without actually being aroused which is not the case with men.
Female sexual dysfunction therefore is a problem in which women suffer from very low urges for sex and this is where the new treatment for the condition called Intrinsa can be useful for them. Intrinsa replaces the testosterone hormone which is seen to be very low in women with low libidos.
It is much easier for men to enjoy sex than it is for women. For the majority of women the enjoyment of sex needs to have the right psychological ingredients as well as the right physical ones. Men on the other hand rely more on physical stimulation as opposed to psychological stimulation in order to get sexually aroused.
There are far more women suffering from sexual dysfunction than men suffering from erectile dysfunction and as yet while Intrinsa is definitely an effective medication it does not have the same success rates for women as the Viagra drug has for men.
Intrinsa is a prescription medication and therefore should only be taken after doctor’s consultation. Like men, women are also embarrassed to talk about sexual issues face to face with their doctor and therefore many of them feel happier to have an online consultation at Ukmedix.
