If reduced genital blood flow is the primary issue, PDE-5 inhibitors (the same class of medications that includes sildenafil) could theoretically help by increasing blood flow to genital tissue
When administered, these medications work through several mechanisms: Slowing gastric emptying - Food remains in the stomach longer, which can contribute to feelings of fullness Reducing appetite signaling - The medications act on brain regions involved in hunger and satiety Improving insulin secretion - In response to food intake, insulin release becomes more efficient, which is why these medications were originally developed for diabetes Decreasing glucagon secretion - This hormone raises blood sugar, so reducing it helps with glucose control The two primary GLP-1 receptor agonists used for weight loss are: Semaglutide - FDA-approved for weight management under the brand name Wegovy (also sold as Ozempic for diabetes and Rybelsus as an oral diabetes medication)
GLP-1 RA significantly delay gastric emptying, primarily through smooth muscle relaxation in the distal stomach
We have over 160,000 patients who have partnered with us on their weight loss journey for the past couple of years
