Anorgasmia
Anorgasmia
Anorgasmia (pronounced: an-or-gaz-mee-uh) is a type of sexual dysfunction in which a person cannot achieve orgasm despite adequate stimulation.
Etymology
The term "Anorgasmia" is derived from the Greek words "an-", meaning without, and "orgasmos", meaning to swell with moisture, which in turn is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "werg-", to do, to make.
Definition
Anorgasmia is characterized by a person's inability to reach orgasm, causing personal distress. It is considered a sexual dysfunction and can be classified into two types: primary anorgasmia, where a person has never experienced an orgasm, and secondary anorgasmia, where a person who previously experienced orgasms no longer can.
Causes
Anorgasmia can be caused by a variety of factors, including psychological issues, such as anxiety or depression, medical conditions, such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis, and certain medications, particularly those used to treat depression (known as SSRIs).
Treatment
Treatment for anorgasmia depends on the cause. It may involve psychotherapy, changes in medication, or the use of sexual techniques or devices that can enhance arousal and orgasm.
