Vyleesi Approved for Women with Low Libido

Premenopausal women who suffer from hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) might have a new treatment option later this year. 

The injectable drug Vyleesi was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last month. It is intended for women with certain forms of HSDD, a disorder marked by low interest in sex that causes distress.

More details about Vyleesi, including clinical trial results and safety information, can be found here.

Does this thinking still hold? Our latest blog post looks at two studies concerning marijuana and male fertility that were published earlier this year.

Peyronie's Disease: Some Men Don't Complete Treatment

About 20% of men who undergo injection therapy for Peyronie's disease don't complete the recommended eight-injection protocol, a recent study reports. 

During the treatment, a substance called Clostridium histolyticum is injected directly into the hardened plaques that cause the penis to bend. 

While the treatment is effective, it can take months for men to complete the injection series.

Why do men stop treatment early? 

Chronic Illness and ED: Fewer Men Seek Help

Men with chronic illnesses might develop erectile dysfunction (ED), but many wouldn't talk to their doctors about it, according to a recent survey of 500 Slovenian men. 

Participants were categorized based on their general health status.

Men in the least healthy group were more likely to say sex wasn't important to them.
