Could I have HSDD?

Millions of women experience HSDD, but many haven’t even heard of it. While it’s normal to experience changes in your level of desire, an ongoing struggle to get in the mood can point to an imbalance of chemicals in your brain. The good news is it can be treated. And when it is, women can get back to butterflies, goosebumps, and all the things that come with desire.

Take our short quiz below to find out if what you’re experiencing could be HSDD.

Vyleesi:
the desired results

In a study with real women who struggled with the frustration of low sexual desire, Vyleesi was clinically proven to increase sexual desire and reduce related stress, which impacts overall wellness. In fact, nearly 80% of women who completed the study volunteered for an additional one-year extension. Here are some of their stories.

Vyleesi can cause serious side effects, including temporary increase in blood pressure and decrease in heart rate, darkening of the skin on certain parts of the body (focal hyperpigmentation), including the face, gums (gingiva), and breast, and nausea.

What is HSDD?

1 in 10 premenopausal women experience HSDD (Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder).

It’s the most common medical condition to cause sex-related distress for women—affecting self-esteem and putting a strain on relationships—but many women don’t discuss it with their doctors, and it often goes undiagnosed. If you’re experiencing an ongoing and frustrating lack of sexual desire, you’re not alone. Understand what causes HSDD and see if FDA-approved Vyleesi is the right treatment option for you.

Frequently asked questions

That’s the abbreviation for hypoactive sexual desire disorder. It’s a common, treatable medical condition characterized by ongoing low sexual desire that women find frustrating (“hypoactive” means “low”).

If you’re diagnosed with “acquired, generalized” HSDD, it means you haven’t had low sexual desire in the past, but you now have low sexual desire no matter the sexual activity, situation, or sexual partner.

If you’ve never heard of HSDD, you’re not alone. One survey showed that 72% of premenopausal women weren’t aware of HSDD,* even though about 10% of premenopausal women in the US have it.

Vyleesi (bremelanotide injection) is the first and only FDA-approved as-needed treatment for premenopausal women with acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). It was approved by the FDA on June 21, 2019.

Do not use if you have:

  • high blood pressure that is not controlled (uncontrolled hypertension)
  • known heart (cardiovascular) disease

See clinical trials info.

Here’s what two identically designed clinical trials with over 1,200 premenopausal women with HSDD* showed:

Vyleesi increased sexual desire and reduced related distress.

Women who took Vyleesi experienced continued meaningful improvement of HSDD symptoms, with nearly 80% of women who completed the clinical study volunteering for an additional one-year extension.

The most common side effects are nausea, flushing, injection site reactions, headache, and vomiting.


*The effectiveness and safety of Vyleesi were studied in two identical trials in over 1,200 premenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD for at least six months. Ages ranged from 19-56 years old, with an average age of 39 years old; 86% were White and 12% were Black. The trials had two phases: a 24-week Core Study Phase (24-week placebo-controlled, double-blind treatment period) and an uncontrolled 52-week Open-label Extension Study Phase in which nearly 700 patients received Vyleesi. Most people who received Vyleesi used it two to three times per month and no more than once a week.

Serious adverse reactions were reported in 1.1% of Vyleesi-treated patients and 0.5% of placebo-treated patients.

Before using Vyleesi, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:
  • have high blood pressure.

    • Women who can become pregnant should use effective birth control during treatment with Vyleesi.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Vyleesi may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may affect the way Vyleesi works.

How should I use Vyleesi?
  • Inject Vyleesi at least 45 minutes before you think that you will begin sexual activity.
  • Do not inject more than 1 dose of Vyleesi within 24 hours of your last dose.
  • Do not inject more than 8 doses of Vyleesi within a month.
What are the possible side effects of Vyleesi? Vyleesi can cause serious side effects, including:
  • Temporary increase in blood pressure and decrease in heart rate: An increase in blood pressure and decrease in heart rate can happen shortly after you inject Vyleesi. These changes usually go away within 12 hours after your injection. Increases in blood pressure and an increased risk of heart (cardiovascular) problems can happen if you use Vyleesi more often than prescribed by your healthcare provider.
  • Darkening of the skin on certain parts of the body (focal hyperpigmentation), including the face, gums (gingiva), and breast. The chance of darkening of the skin is increased in people with darker skin color. The chance of darkening of the skin is higher if Vyleesi is used every day. Darkening of the skin may not go away, even after you stop using Vyleesi.
  • Nausea. Nausea is common and can also be severe. Nausea most commonly happens after the first Vyleesi injection but can also happen after any dose of Vyleesi. The nausea usually lasts for about 2 hours but can last longer in some people. The nausea usually goes away by itself. Tell your healthcare provider if you have nausea that is severe or does not go away.

The most common side effects of Vyleesi include: flushing, injection site reactions, headache, vomiting, cough, fatigue, hot flush, tingling, dizziness, and nasal congestion. These are not all the possible side effects of Vyleesi.
