How Do Hormonal Changes Affect Sexual Function?
Hormones play a very important role in female sexual function. Levels of progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone can lead to both mental and physical symptoms of female sexual dysfunction (FSD). Aside from menopause, pregnancy, and birth control, there are two other very common ways women's hormone levels can change suddenly, leading to FSD.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is normally prescribed for surgically menopausal, perimenopausal and post menopausal women to replace diminished hormones. While HRT can be effective in treating certain symptoms it can also cause a number of negative side effects. Women taking HRT have reported a decline in libido as well as bloating, mood swings, headaches, water retention, nausea, breast soreness and many other symptoms. Sometimes changing dosages can help, but many women have to choose between staying on HRT and dealing with the symptoms of menopause. Considering how many women are using or have used HRT it's easy to see why side effects of HRT are such a concern.
Nearly one-half of post menopausal U.S. women have used different forms of HRT at some time.
Another common way hormone levels can suddenly become altered is by some sort of thyroid condition. Hyper (raised) and hypo (lowered) thyroidism can both affect sexual function and libido. Thyroid hormone can influence changes in weight, metabolism, energy levels, reproductive organs, concentration, moods, and sexual function. Synthetic thyroid hormone and other medications can help with some of these symptoms; however, many still have lingering effects.
Now there's a way to safely improve your sex life without dangerous side effects. Lyriana's worldwide patented active ingredient, Visnadin, acts on the small arteries and precapillary arterioles to trigger an immediate increase in the volume of blood, as well as the blood flow-rate in the capillary network. This is important because it is these microcirculatory vessels that directly supply nutrients to the tissues of the vaginal walls. Increased blood flow throughout the delicate tissues can provide relief to the vaginal walls and stimulate natural lubrication, creating a much more enjoyable sexual experience.
