Over the years the topic of whether or not women can take Viagra and have it work adequatly has came up. Women and men alike want to know if it will turn a woman into a sexual prowess. The answer is NO! The Food and Drug Administration has approved Viagra for men only. Viagra is to help erectile dysfunction and therefore can be of no benefit to women. Any tests or studies that have been performed on the subject of women and Viagra have been inconclusive.

Some health care providers have given women who suffer from physiological sexual dysfunctions Viagra. This simply means that the dysfunction was within their mind and the Viagra would fine tune their brain in a sense then overriding the dysfunction. However, because the FDA has not approved Viagra for women the potential side effects are not known. The side effects could be the same as they are for men which are headaches, flushing skin, muscle pain, and indigestion but they could also be worse.

The common theory behind a woman taking Viagra, otherwise called Sildenafil was that since it engorges the male penis that it should engorge the female clitoris and both are necessary to achieve an orgasm. So it was thought that maybe it would work for women who are not orgasmic. One very shallow study was confirmed as being conducted on this topic and a small percent of the women claimed to have better lubrication while another small percent claimed to have more clitoral sensitivity. It was concluded that there was no significant evidence to support that there were any improvements sexually but there were negative side effects that were experienced.

There aren't any medications in the works currently to do for women what Viagra does for men, because the anatomy of women is much more complex than that of men. Viagra has changed the face of sex for men forever but women are going to have to wait because there is no sophisticated evidence that women can or should take Viagra for sexual heightening or for any reason at all because it provides no benefit but could or could not be damaging. The whole dilema is that not enough is known about women and Viagra for the Food and Drug Administration to endorse it at this time or any time in the near future.
