Who should take Intrinsa?
Intrinsa is used to treat women who have had their both their ovaries and uterus (womb)removed, and suffer from a lack of sexual thoughts and sexual desire that causes them distress. It is used in patients already taking an estrogen (a female sex hormone). New research from an independent market analysis company has found that over 40% of women suffer from sexual problems, but less than 20% of them approach their physician for help. Part of the problem, say the researchers, is that female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is anill-defined condition with a range of physical and psychological symptoms. With no widely accepted guidelines for diagnosing the condition, women seeking help for FSD can find themselves left with a diagnosis ranging from depression to dyspareunia, or even no diagnosis at all.
