How the female Viagra works
The female Viagra works by blocking the enzyme that inhibits the flow of blood. In men, the failure of blood to flow leads to the swelling of the penile tissue and when a man takes Viagra, the flow of blood to the genitals is increased hence treating erectile dysfunction also known as importance in men.
This same enzyme that leads to erectile dysfunction influences the flow of blood to the pelvic area in women. In the early stages of trial of the female Viagra, the researchers aimed at finding out the connection between the flow of blood to the pelvic region in women and their arousal.
However, this did not succeed as it was suggested that genital arousal in women does not enhance sexual desire as it is in men. Sexual arousal in women is more emotional and mental and other biological factors also determined how well a woman responds to sex.
Therefore, the female Viagra also known as flibanserin works on three important chemicals: Serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine. These chemicals act as neurotransmitters and they are responsible for sending signals between the brain and other different body parts through the nervous system.
Norepinephrine and dopamine are involved in sexual excitement while serotonin helps to inhibit any factors that may dampen sex drive. These three chemicals should always be in balance as if the levels of norepinephrine and dopamine are low or the level of serotonin is high, a woman will feel less sexual desire.
In general female Viagra works by increasing the level of norepinephrine and dopamine and lower the level of serotonin. As a result, the chemicals promote sexual desire and anything that can suppress the desire is decreased.
