Viagra is not fit for Female Sexual Dysfunction

One of the biggest problems in treating female sexual dysfunction is the fact that so many factors are involved -- the physical aspect, relationship issues, self-esteem issues. "You can't just send a woman home with medication," Jennifer Berman says.
