Infertile women can get pregnant with Viagra
It's not just men who take Viagra these days. Astonishing parallels are being discovered between male and female sexuality: diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels – or the drugs used to counteract them – can lead to erectile dysfunction in men. Today it is assumed that these factors can also impair sexual functions in women.
A lot also depends on how well the tissue is supplied with blood during arousal: the stronger, the more fluid comes out of the vessels. Circulation decreases in elderly patients with high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis or in smokers. If a woman's problem with orgasm stems from this, it may make sense to test the use of Viagra - common practice in modern gynecology.
Viagra is also sometimes recommended for pregnant women
The remedy is also sometimes recommended for pregnant women. 비아그라 판매 , an American woman became pregnant thanks to Viagra after doctors diagnosed her as infertile. The 36-year-old woman had already been artificially inseminated twice, but her uterine lining was too thin and the fertilized egg cells could not implant. She lost the embryos and turned to Geoffrey Sher, Las Vegas. The doctor had already conducted experiments with Viagra on mice and concluded that the drug could help women to build up the womb lining generously.
Four infertile women have taken part in Sher's Viagra experiment so far, three of whom became pregnant. The results were published in the British Journal of Human Reproduction.
Doctors also use Viagra in pregnant women whose uterus is narrowed, which slows down the growth of the fetus and dramatically increases the risk of preterm birth - statistically, this applies to around five percent of newborns in the UK.
