Impact of Anorgasmia on Female Sexual Health
Anorgasmia is a medical condition in which a woman is unable to orgasm even after sufficient sexual stimulation. This can cause trouble for female sexual health. A woman will ultimately become distressed and disturbed when she fails to orgasm which can affect her relationship with her partner.
An orgasm is a
sensation of intense pleasure during any sexual activity. It is also known by
the term ‘climaxing’. It is caused by a group of regular contractions that
occur in the vagina, uterus, and pelvic floor muscles. These contractions
result in sexual tension by making-love or masturbating and a feeling of warmth
is released which spreads throughout the body.
Orgasms differ in
types and intensity depending upon women and their bodies. Some of you would
require gentle clitoral stimulation, several would ask for intense clitoral
stimulation, while others would prefer a combo of clitoral stimulation and
their men’s ejaculation, to orgasm.
However, there
might be ones who enjoy neither of these. This fact may make them feel helpless
or deficient. In this case, you must not worry! Here, we will help you identify
the problem with your orgasms so that you can openly discuss it with your
doctor.
Symptoms:
As mentioned above,
orgasms can be different. The way you feel during an orgasm will differ from
orgasm to orgasm. Also, it might not always look or sound like the orgasms you
watch in movies as we know that everything you see is not always true!
Visible by the
definition, symptoms of anorgasmia are inability to have an orgasm or taking
much more time than average to reach an orgasm that causes you fatigue.
Types
of Anorgasmia:
Anorgasmia has
several types depending upon its symptoms that are stated as follows:
Lifelong Anorgasmia:
It’s a condition in
which you never experienced an orgasm even once throughout your life.
Acquired Anorgasmia:
The condition in
which you used to have orgasms before but with the time you face difficulty in
reaching orgasm is known as the acquired anorgasmia.
Situational Anorgasmia:
Situational anorgasmia,
as exhibited by its name, occurs in some situations only. For example, when you
are able to orgasm under particular circumstances such as during oral sex or
masturbation. Or also when you experience orgasm with a specific partner.
Generalized Anorgasmia:
It is when under
any conditions or with any partner, you fail to have an orgasm.
Causes:
An orgasm is triggered by physical,
psychological, and relationship factors. Lack of any one of these will result
in the inability of reaching an orgasm. The possible reasons behind problems in
any of these are listed as under:
Physical Troubles:
Issues like injuries, diseases, medications,
changes in surroundings, all can become physical troubles for being unable to
orgasm. We have listed some possibilities below:
●
Medical conditions like
Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, atrial fibrillation, anxiety, etc.,
can hamper your ability to experience orgasm or increase the time until you
reach orgasm.
●
Being on medications/prescriptions
can sometimes cause delays or an inability to orgasm. Examples of such
medications are antidepressants, antihypertension, antipsychotics,
antihistamines, hormones, etc.
●
Gynecological factors can inhibit
you from orgasming. These include surgeries such as hysterectomy and cancer
removing surgeries. Having certain pains around your genitalia can prevent your
pleasure. Painful intercourse/sex can cause trouble as well
●
You can face such a problem even
when you’re growing old. With passing years, your body structure, health,
hormonal system, neurological system, and blood circulatory system will change.
As a said hormonal system, your estrogen levels will decrease which will
ultimately cause menopause. And menopause affects your sexuality!
●
Drinking alcohol, smoking, and
taking drugs can decrease sensual arousal that will lessen your pleasure and
prevent you from reaching an orgasm.
Psychological Troubles
Psychological factors play part in every
activity we do in our daily routine. Similarly, they impact our ability to have
orgasms. For example:
●
Your dislikeness towards your body
will never let you enjoy and be happy. You must all adore your body and accept
it the way it is. Show love towards yourself so that others do.
●
Some of you might face trouble
while making love due to your cultural or social beliefs. For example, while
doing something you do not know is allowed or disallowed in your society,
you’ll never be mentally relaxed. If you are not relaxed, you will definitely
face problems during sex.
●
Mental health problems like
depression and anxiety will always cause problems in female sexual health.
●
Any feelings of embarrassment will
hamper your ability to orgasm.
●
If you have been physically abused
in your past, those memories and feelings will continue to haunt you while
being intimate. And you really need to get out of it.
Relationship troubles
A troubling relationship with your man will
not let you be at ease. You can never happen to enjoy making love with them.
●
Lack of association with your
partner can become a hurdle for you to reach orgasm
●
Lack of discussion about sexuality
and sexual needs between both of you will not let you enjoy making love. When
you are not enjoying the sex, you will be unable to orgasm.
●
Trust issues among partners will
not allow them to have peaceful sex. To have good sex, you must be totally
involved in sex. If you do not get fully involved, you will not orgasm.
●
Also, if your partner does it
violently, you can experience pain due to which you will not orgasm.
Treatment:
You can treat anorgasmia in several ways
depending upon its system.
Change in lifestyle:
●
Understand your body better.
●
Talk with your partner openly
about your sexuality.
●
Go for sex therapy and yoga. This
will help to relax your mind
Medical treatment:
●
Estrogen pills, patches, or gels
can help to relieve your concerns about anorgasmia in women after menopause.
This will improve your sexual response.
●
Local estrogen therapy in the form
of vaginal creams or releasing suppository or ring to be placed in the vagina
can help to increase blood flow in the vagina to improve arousal during sex.
