Abstract:
Recent years have seen great progress in the researches on the pharmacotherapy of female sexual dysfunction( FSD). Estrogen replacement therapy is effective on female sexual pain and dyspareunia; androgen can improve female hyposexuality; and a variety of drugs and medication forms are being studied for their efficacy on FSD, including the 5-phosphodiesterase inhibitor, dopamine receptor stimulant, prostaglandin E1, adrenergic receptor blocker, some traditional Chinese medicine, and so on, which have yielded lots of inspiring findings.
