On Female Sexual Dysfunction and VSENSE
Women
all over the world are suffering from a health condition that they themselves
may not even be aware of.
This
silent burden is called female sexual dysfunction (FSD), which pertains to a
persistent, recurrent problem with sexual response, desire or orgasm.
FSD
is often overlooked or ignored, largely because society still frowns upon the
idea of women being in tune and in touch with their own bodies, especially
regarding reproductive and sexual health.
“The
reality is that FSD not only affects the individual physically, but emotionally
and socially. It strains her relationship with her partner, and a dissatisfied
disposition negatively impacts interactions at home and at work in general,”
explains Pinky Ferrer, senior product manager at AJ Research & Pharma.
AJ
Research & Pharma is an innovative Malaysia-based pharmaceutical,
cosmeceutical and nutraceutical company. lt seeks to address unmet needs in the
healthcare market, and FSD is one of those concerns that the company has
identified as a top priority especially within the emerging ASEAN market.
According
to data, as much as 43% of adult women have experienced at least one
manifestation of FSD at one point in their lives. Symptoms of FSD include the
inability to achieve orgasm; low desire to engage in sex; difficulty with
sexual response or arousal; and physical conditions such as poor vaginal
lubrication and pain.
While
it may be true that such conditions as vaginal dryness and lack of sexual
interest are often associated with menopause among more mature women, FSD can
occur at any age or stage in life, according to Ferrer. .
Women
who encounter these symptoms often simply ignore them, leading to more serious
physical symptoms, and deeper emotional and social dissatisfaction.
The
good news is that FSD is easy to address, given the proper support system and
guidance from a health professional. To help spread awareness and education
about FSD, AJ Research & Pharma recently organized a media briefing
featuring one of the most renowned and trusted Filipino medical resources in
the field of sexual education, Dr. Margarita Holmes.
Medical
treatment involving hormone therapy can be prescribed especially for patients
with underlying medical conditions. However, these may come with some risks and
undesirable side effects, and must be undertaken only under the guidance of a
doctor.
There
are also numerous non medical treatments and lifestyle strategies to overcome
FSD.
These
include:
Open
communication. Dialogue with one’s sexual partner or significant other is key
to understanding one’s own body and sexual needs as well. Learn or develop a
system of communication to enhance intimacy not just physically but emotionally
as well.
Counseling. The professional guidance of a
psychologist or medical professional may provide more effective and efficient
communication and self-awareness exercises, techniques and tools.
Healthy
living. An
overall lifestyle of health and wellness greatly enhances one’s sexual
well-being. Experts advise, for instance, to limit alcohol intake as it can
dampen sexual responsiveness. Regular physical activity and exercise can also
increase stamina, elevate mood and eliminate stress.
Devices
and topical gel. Women
should learn to utilize devices to increase sexual stimulation and arousal.
Lubricants and other types of topical products are also helpful especially
during intercourse to treat dryness or pain, but this offers temporary solution
especially in dealing with vaginal dryness.
An
innovative feminine intimacy product that AJ Research & Phamra has
introduced, the first in the Philippine market, an intimate gel that restores
natural moisture in the female intimate area, it intensifies vaginal
sensitivity and help women reach pleasurable orgasm, thus addressing symptoms
of FSD. lt is a special patented formulation developed in Italy and uses only
natural ingredients derived from plants such as visnadine.
“With
VSENSE, we aim to encourage women to make it a habit to take care of their
intimate health and well-being,” says Javed Ghulam Mohammad, CEO of AJ Research
& Pharma, who flew in to Manila exclusively for the event.
AJ
Research & Phama has launched VSENSE intimate gel in the Philippine market
eyeing an untapped segment of feminine intimate products that are therapeutic
in nature.
“lt
is high time that women get over the stigma of being sexually aware or in touch
with their intimate needs,” adds Ferrer. “VSENSE helps empower women to address
FSD and improve their overall well-being by improving their sexual heath.”
Now,
women can take charge of their pleasure and satisfaction and TURN LIFE ON by
overcoming female sexual dysfunction (FSD).
