GYNECOLOGIC: Female Sexual Dysfuntion (FSD)From: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 20 Jul 2008 11:55:44 -0500 (CDT)
FDA Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) For Expanded Indication Of LibiGelŪ In FSD For Female Sexual Dysfuntion - 2008 "LibiGel is a gel formulation of testosterone designed to be quickly absorbed through the skin after application of a pea-sized dose of gel on the upper arm, delivering testosterone to the bloodstream evenly over time and in a non-invasive and painless manner. Though generally characterized as a male hormone, testosterone also is present in women and its deficiency has been found to decrease libido or sex drive. In addition, studies have shown that testosterone therapy can increase bone density, raise energy levels and improve mood, in addition to boosting sexual desire and activity. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 43 percent of American women (about 40 million) experience some degree of impaired sexual function. Among the more than 1,400 women surveyed, 32 percent lacked interest in sex and 26 percent could not experience orgasm. According to IMS data, 2.0 million testosterone prescriptions were written off-label for women by U.S. physicians in 2007. The majority of women with FSD are postmenopausal, experiencing FSD due to hormonal changes following menopause, whether natural or surgical." http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/115508.php http://www.obgyn.net/newsheadlines/womens_health-Female_Sexual_Dysfunction-20040719-57.asp http://www.obgyn.net/newsheadlines/womens_health-Decision_Resources,_Inc.-20031203-22.asp Regards, Hope Waltman, Fibroid Forum and WH Forum Moderator http://www.hopeforfibroids.org http://www.doctorsinfoweb.com/doctors.htm UTERINE FIBROIDS INFO: http://www.obgyn.net/fibroid-resource-center/ http://www.obgyn.net/fibroid-resource-center/?page=articles/patient_articles http://forums.obgyn.net/forums/womens-health/
