According to Dr. Irwin Goldstein, a co-author of the study and the editor in chief of The Journal of Sexual Medicine, which published the report, the findings may explain what he has long observed in women on oral contraceptives. “When they stopped taking the pill, we fully expected their sexual function to recover,” said Dr. Goldstein, a urologist in Boston. “But we weren’t seeing that.” | story Advertisement Previous item: U.S. Reporter Abducted in Iraq Next item: Florida Professor, Wife Arrested as Spies for Cuba New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page.
