Anorgasmia is the absence or excessive delay of orgasm, persistently or recurrently, after a phase of excitement considered normal. The woman does not experience orgasmic discharge and remains in a state of more or less high arousal, despite the fact that the stimulation is sufficient and adequate.
According to the Teknon Medical Center, between 20-25% of women are unable to reach orgasm, making this the second most common sexual dysfunction, behind desire problems.
Anorgasmia is the absence or excessive delay of orgasm, persistently or recurrently, after a phase of excitement considered normal.
The percentage is much higher if we consider women who do not reach orgasm during intercourse without clitoral stimulation, although this response is considered normal.
As explained by the Mayo Clinic, there are different types of anorgasmia: lifelong anorgasmia, when you have never had an orgasm; acquired anorgasmia, when you have had orgasms but now have difficulty reaching climax; circumstantial anorgasmia, when you can have orgasms only under certain circumstances; and generalized anorgasmia, when you cannot have an orgasm in any situation and with any partner.
”Anorgasmia is diagnosed through a detailed medical history, including sexual and partner history, as well as a psychological examination. It is important that the gynecological examination rules out organic alterations. If necessary, we can request a hormonal analysis or resort to biofeedback techniques to rule out alterations in muscle tone,” they point out at the Teknon Medical Center.
As for treatment, this may include: self-stimulation, increased arousal through sexual thoughts and fantasies, and restructuring of negative attitudes toward SEX.
