Female Orgasmic Dysfunction, A Simple Guide To The Condition, Diagnosis, Treatment And Related Conditions

Female Orgasmic Dysfunction is a medical condition that occurs when a woman has difficulty reaching orgasm, even when they are sexually aroused and there is sufficient sexual stimulation.
Difficulty reaching orgasm is the second most common sexual complaint reported by women.
Many women have problems achieving orgasm reliably and easily, in spite of the fact that there are few physical disorders that are insurmountable obstacles to orgasmic attainment.
Female Orgasmic Dysfunction occurs when a woman either cannot achieve orgasm, or has problem reaching orgasm when she is sexually excited.
Orgasms are intense feelings of release during sexual stimulation that can range in duration, intensity, and frequency.
Many factors can induce orgasmic dysfunction:
1. A history of sexual abuse or rape
2. Boredom in sexual activity
3. Some prescription medicines, such as frequently used anti-depressants, including fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft)
4. Hormonal conditions, hormonal alterations caused by menopause, and chronic diseases that affect health and sexual interest
5. Fatigue and stress
6. Negative attitudes toward sex
The woman may need to:
1. Treat any underlying medical conditions
2. Switch antidepressant medications
3. Have cognitive behavioral therapy or sex therapy
4. Increase clitoral stimulation during masturbation and physical sexual intercourse
Counseling of couples is another welcome treatment option.
Sometimes, testosterone and estrogen hormonal treatment may be given
Directed masturbation (DM) is most frequently prescribed for women with primary anorgasmia.
Sensual intercourse will be different from the coital techniques the couple previously practiced because of the emphasis placed on non-genital touching, hand-riding, and the advised female-astride position.
Anxiety decrease methods could be helpful in women to attain orgasm by assisting them to focus on pleasurable sexual sensations and thinking which improve arousal.
Agents that have been used, with mixed results, include the following:
1. Bupropion
2. Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil)
3. Apomorphine
