Men's Erectile Dysfunction therapies turn on Women: Fine Generics

Men who suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED), and are undergoing treatment to rectify the problem, may actually be doing their partners libidos a world of good. Researchers from the University of Western Ontario, Canada, in a first-ever prospective, multi-institutional treatment study with multi-dimensional psychometrically valid outcomes, have revealed that women’s' sexual function gets benefited from men’s ED therapies.

The research, published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, involved 229 men with erectile dysfunction for more than 6 months. The couples were divided into two groups, those couples in which the men with erectile dysfunction received a safe and effective PDE5 inhibitor and those in which the men received placebo. There was no difference between the untreated women's sexual function scores in the two groups at baseline. After 12 weeks and approximately 20 intercourse experiences, the untreated women who were with men assigned to placebo were observed to have their sexual function scores fall in all domains. The untreated women who were with men assigned to effective erectile dysfunction treatment recorded significantly increased sexual function scores in all domains. The greatest increases in sexual function were noted in orgasm and satisfaction domains.
