Consult your doctor before considering any medication for sexual dysfunction. They can assess your individual needs and discuss appropriate treatment options, including potential risks and side effects.
Several medications address female sexual dysfunction, focusing on different aspects like desire, arousal, or orgasm. Flibanserin (Addyi) targets low sexual desire, while other treatments might address physical factors affecting arousal. Your doctor will determine the best approach based on your medical history and symptoms.
Lifestyle changes often play a significant role. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress management techniques (like yoga or meditation), and sufficient sleep contribute to overall well-being, impacting sexual health positively. Open communication with your partner can also significantly improve your experience.
Hormonal imbalances can affect libido. Your doctor can perform tests to identify any hormonal deficiencies and suggest appropriate hormone replacement therapy if necessary. This is a personalized approach, and dosage will vary.
| Flibanserin (Addyi) | Increased sexual desire | Nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue |
| Bremelanotide (Vyleesi) | Increased sexual desire | Nausea, flushing, vomiting |
| Other Treatments (e. g., topical creams) | Improved arousal or lubrication | Vary based on specific medication |
Remember, seeking professional help is crucial. Many factors influence sexual health, and a medical professional can provide personalized guidance and a proper diagnosis. Don’t hesitate to discuss your concerns openly and honestly.
