Viagra Given To Woman Makes Birth Possible

A husband and wife have a baby girl thanks to making use of the erectile dysfunction medication Viagra. What is strange is that the Viagra wasn’t given to the husband but to the wife! Ms. Kerry Horan who gave birth to a baby girl had previously suffered from a miscarriage and was unable to get pregnant despite IVF treatment.

Specialist doctors scanned her womb and noticed that the blood flow around it was weak and that its lining wasn’t thick enough for an embryo to be implanted properly. Dr George Ndukwe decided to experiment with the impotence drug Viagra because it is known to be able to boost blood flow.
After nine days of taking Viagra every day doctors gave Kerry Horan another scan which showed that the wall of her womb was thick enough for doctors to implant embryos. She said that taking the high dose of Viagra was not a pleasant experience and that her face had gone red.
The treatment which was done at the CARE Nottingham fertility clinic is pretty revolutionary and obviously needs more research done into it. At the moment it is still an experimental treatment but it highlights that there are many other uses for Viagra other than purely as an erectile dysfunction medication.
In the future it is likely that all three erectile dysfunction drugs Viagra, Cialis and Levitra will be used to treat a whole range of different blood flow problems from arterial disease and heart disease but more research needs to be done to ensure that they are safe for these applications.
Using Viagra or any other erectile dysfunction drug to boost female fertility without being constantly monitored by doctors is not advised. Erectile dysfunction medication is designed for use by men only and women are not allowed to buy it.
In the case of Kerry Horan it would have been explained to her that the Viagra treatment was experimental and that the doctors could not be held responsible for any problems arising as a result.
