Orgasm is an absolute pleasure that everyone wants to achieve when having sex. But in general, men do tend to be easier to orgasm than women. Only about 25 percent of women can reach climax while more than 90 percent of men always reach orgasm every time they have sex.

So, is it normal for a woman to never or cannot reach orgasm at all? Actually this depends on the root cause. In some women, complaints of difficulty orgasm may be caused by a condition called orgasm dysfunction. What is that?

Orgasm dysfunction is ...

Orgasm dysfunction is a condition that makes a persondifficulty reaching orgasm, even when they are sexually aroused and get enough sexual stimulation. This sexual problem is more common in women, although it is possible for men to experience it - even though it is rare.

There are four types of orgasm dysfunction that you should know:

1. Primary Anorgasmia is a condition where you never experience orgasm.
2. Secondary anorgasmia is a condition where you have difficulty reaching orgasm, even though you have experienced it before.
3. Situational anorgasmia is the most common type of orgasm dysfunction. This happens when you can only orgasm during certain situations, such as during oral sex or masturbation.
4. General Anorgasmia is a condition where you cannot reach orgasm under any conditions, even when you are very aroused and have enough sexual stimulation.

What are the symptoms of orgasm dysfunction in women?

The main characteristic or symptom of orgasm dysfunction is the inability to reach sexual climax. Whether it's through penetration sex with a partner, or when masturbating.

You can also be said to have orgasmic dysfunction when orgasm has been reached but it doesn't feel satisfactory, or achieved in a longer time than usual.

What causes orgasm dysfunction?

It's actually rather difficult to determine the cause of someone experiencing orgasmic dysfunction. Women who may have difficulty reaching orgasm are generally caused by physical, emotional, or psychological factors. The combination of factors below, even sometimes can make orgasm more difficult to achieve. The following are some of the causes:

1. Entering old age or menopause
2. Women with diabetes
3. Have experienced gynecological surgery, such as hysterectomy
4. Currently using certain drugs, especially SSRI antidepressant drugs
5. Embarrassed to explore himself in order to reach climax
6. Have a past trauma, for example, having experienced sexual violence
7. Are experiencing stress or depression

How do you treat orgasm dysfunction?

Generally, the treatment for orgasmic dysfunction depends on the underlying cause and condition. It's possible, the doctor will also advise you on several treatments such as the following:

• Replace or stop antidepressant drugs (must consult a doctor)
• Do cognitive behavioral therapy or sex therapy
• Train and increase clitoral stimulation during masturbation and sexual intercourse
• Consultation on sex counselors, which later the counselor will mediate if there is a conflict that makes you difficult to orgasm. Then, the counselor can also deal with other problems caused by difficulty orgasm.

In some cases, estrogen hormone therapy can be used to treat this orgasm dysfunction. Hormone therapy can help increase sexual desire or the amount of blood flow to the genitals to increase sensitivity to achieve orgasm.

Estrogen hormone therapy may use pills, wear patches, or apply gel to your genitals. But unfortunately, food and drug administration agencies in the United States (FDA) have not approved hormone therapy to treat orgasm dysfunction.
