  • Clinical psychology

Background:

  • Female orgasmic disorder (FOD) is a prevalent sexual dysfunction.
  • FOD frequently co-occurs with other sexual disorders.
  • Multiple biopsychosocial factors contribute to FOD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the characteristics of orgasm disorders in women.
  • To outline assessment and treatment strategies for FOD.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on female orgasmic disorder.
  • Emphasis on comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment.
  • Discussion of cognitive and behavioral treatment approaches.

Main Results:

  • Orgasmic problems are prevalent in women and can cause significant distress.
  • FOD is often associated with other sexual dysfunctions.
  • Biopsychosocial factors are key contributors to FOD.

Conclusions:

  • A thorough assessment of biopsychosocial factors is crucial for diagnosing FOD.
  • Cognitive and behavioral interventions, potentially involving partners, are primary treatment options.
  • Currently, no pharmacological treatments are FDA-approved for female orgasmic disorder.
