Anorgasmia

Difficulty Reaching Orgasm

REQUEST INFORMATION

What is anorgasmia

An orgasm is a feeling of intense physical pleasure and release of tension, accompanied by involuntary, rhythmic contractions of your pelvic floor muscles. But it doesn’t always look — or sound — like it does in the movies. The way an orgasm feels varies among women, and in an individual, it can differ from orgasm to orgasm.

Anorgasmia is the medical term defining the symptom of difficulty reaching orgasm. Anorgasmia is a common issue affecting 10 to 15 percent of women.

Symptoms of anorgasmia are the incapacity or long delays in reaching climax. Every woman has experienced some level of difficulty in reaching orgasm at some point in her life. Moreover, the intensity and frequency of achieving orgasm often alter with lifestyle changes, age and maturity, medical issues and prescribed medication. However, for some women, the difficulty becomes chronic.

In time, women experiencing anorgasmia can begin to feel very frustrated. Psychological problems associated with anorgasmia include anxiety, depression, fear of intimacy, loss of self-confidence and relationship troubles.

Non-invasive, durable treatments for anorgasmia are available. If you are having trouble reaching orgasm talk to one of our certified doctors today.

Causes of anorgasmia

Reaching climax takes a combination of physical, emotional, and psychological factors working together in synchronized harmony. If any of these factors are “off”, ability to reach orgasm decreases.

Physical factors can include:

  • Illness (diabetes, for example)
  • Aging (low estrogen levels, loss of natural lubrication in the vagina)
  • Medical treatments (such as hysterectomy, oophorectomy, or cancer surgeries)
  • Other sexual dysfunctions (vaginal dryness, dyspareunia)
  • Alcohol abuse

Emotional / Relationship factors can include:

  • Poor communication
  • Relationship conflicts, resentment toward partner
  • Lack of connection with partner
  • Domestic violence or abuse

Psychological factors can include:

  • Stress
  • Past sexual, physical, emotional abuse
  • Negative self-image, embarrassment
  • Cultural/ religious beliefs related to sexuality
  • Mental health conditions (such as depression and anxiety)
