Female sexual dysfunction has many possible symptoms and causes. Fortunately, they're almost all treatable. Communicating your concerns and understanding your anatomy and your body's normal response to sexual activity are important steps toward gaining sexual satisfaction.

Sexual health refers to the many factors that impact sexual function and reproduction. These include a variety of physical, mental, and emotional factors. Disorders that affect any of these factors can impact a person’s physical and emotional health, as well as his or her relationships and self-image.

Medications, which need to be swallowed, must be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Such absorption is well known to be slow and can be compromised by the presence of food, alcohol and fats. The medication needs to pass through the stomach to the small intestine before absorption and then past the liver before becoming effective. The result is a tendency for such medication to be slow in action, erratic and unpredictable.

The overall efficacy rate of oral medications is estimated at 60% to 75% (M.M. Miner and ass, 2007).

30% to 35% of men who receive a prescription for oral treatment fail to respond to an adequate trial (P. Mason and ass., 2005). Overall, at least 50% of men taking oral treatments discontinue treatment (A.P. Sefrel and ass., 2004). Treatment failure is one of several reasons why men may discontinue the use of oral treatments.

The adverse events associated with oral treatments are a consequence of the vasodilatory properties of these treatments, including headache, flushing and nasal congestion. Other adverse effects include dyspepsia and abnormal colour vision. Nonarteric anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the most common acute optic neuropathy and is one of the most common causes of sudden blindness in older patients.

Doctors at Advanced Medical Institute have overcome many drawbacks of existing oral drug delivery methods with the development of a new transnasal technology that provides a practical non-invasive method of delivering drugs to the body. This new transnasal drug delivery technology now offers an alternative treatment option with increased convenience and discreteness. This technology avoids the problems associated with absorption from the bowel and bypasses not only the metabolic side effects in the liver but also the blood brain barrier (BBD). This method utilizes the unique connection that olfactory and trigeminal nerves provide between the brain and the external environment (W.H. Frey, 1995).
