In episode 92, we do a final session with our two family physician friends and colleagues, Mike K and Tina K. We start off with Tina discussing some satisfying evidence for the use of bupropion in women with low sexual desire which causes sexually related personal distress. In the second part Mike K in a slightly less satisfying way looks at the recent evidence surrounding vascular surgery for a treatment of multiple sclerosis. To conclude this 3-part series we all stop talking, to the satisfaction of all our listeners.

“A new study from Germany has found that multiple sclerosis (MS) patients showed no evidence of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) — striking another blow against the theory that obstructed blood flow in veins exiting the brain may be a cause of MS.
…
The findings directly contradict results reported last year and in 2007 by Paolo Zamboni, MD, of the University of Ferrara in Italy, and colleagues from a 300-participant ultrasound study, in which nearly all the MS patients but few controls had CCSVI.”
Earlier this week, the New York Times reported, “From M.S. Patients, Outcry for Unproved Treatment.”
And we recently reviewed a Philadelphia Inquirer story, ” ‘Liberation procedure’ for multiple sclerosis sparks debate.”

Hmm, interesting although quite niche, don’ you think?
I wonder whether HSDD is s genuine medical problem, because in my experience this seems to be more of a case of unrealistic expectation and pressure from the male side.
Making this “disease” and treatment more public could lead to a lot more ” There is something wrong with you, go to the doctor and get some medicine!”
I wonder how may single women consider this as a real problem.
Did HSDD exist before sildenafil?
If someone wants to have sex and there’s something that we can offer them to help them out, I think it’s a plus. Why shouldn’t the premenopausal women be allowed to continue having sex if they want to do so? I just wonder if the lack of libido had to do more with depression or if the buproprion actually has a sexual effect.
