Sexual dysfunction is more difficult to treat in women than in men. That's because men and women tend to be quite different on an emotional level. For some women, sexual dysfunction is more than a physical problem. There may be issues like marital difficulties; poor body self-image; a history of sexual abuse; questions of infidelity; or health problems that require counseling or therapy. For these women, popping a pill before sex just won't do.
In any case, there are no federally approved medications such as Viagra, Levitra or Cialis for women. And while there have been trials to see if male impotence drugs also help women, the test results so far have been disappointing. Some postmenopausal women do notice an improved libido when prescribed testosterone supplementation (e.g., Estratest, Estratest HS). And water-soluble lubricants such as Astroglide or KY Jelly help counteract dryness but they don't improve libido.
