Can you use vaginal viagra as a treatment to increase uterine lining?

Viagra works by dilating the blood vessels to increase the blood supply to the penis. Some studies have suggested that viagra can also be used as a vasodilator to increase blood flow to the uterus and improve endometrial thickness.

Even though it is rather uncommon, some specialists prescribe vaginal pessaries with viagra as an active ingredient with the purpose of increasing endometrial thickness.
