What are the symptoms of female orgasmic disorders? What are the hazards of female orgasmic disorders
Sexual activity is an important part of our lives. Perfect sexual activity is not only good for the body, but also promotes relationships between couples. However, not everyone's sexual activity is perfect, and many women may have orgasmic disorders. Let's take a look together.
What is female orgasmic disorder
Female orgasmic disorder refers to the process in which women, after receiving sufficient sexual stimulation, do not experience sustained increase in sexual excitement, pelvic organ congestion, increased vaginal secretions, increased systemic muscle tension, and involuntary rhythmic and spasmodic contractions of the vagina, ultimately achieving complete release of sexual tension.
Manifestations of female orgasmic disorders
1. Sexual desire suppression: The woman has both sexual desire and impulsiveness, but for some reason, she is unwilling to expose, express, and express herself in a suppressed state.
2. Sexual aversion: Having a aversion towards one's spouse and unwilling to engage. It can also manifest as aversion to sexual activity itself. Low libido has no requirements for sexual life, nor does it have sexual impulses, showing a indifferent attitude.
3. Lack of orgasm: Normal sexual activity can be performed. Lack of orgasm or lack of clarity. But this issue cannot be emphasized, as long as both parties feel good and harmonious. This link may not necessarily be the main issue.
4. Vaginal spasms can be divided into two types: primary and secondary. The former causes vaginal spasms upon contact with sexual organs after marriage, making sexual activity impossible to complete. The latter refers to having normal sexual activity after marriage, which occurs several months or years later. According to the time when spasms occur, they can be divided into two types: before sexual intercourse and during sexual intercourse. The former cannot complete sexual activity, while the latter can cause interruption of sexual intercourse and even extreme pain for the spouse.
Causes of orgasmic disorders
1. Social environmental factors: Many sex psychologists believe that in modern civilized societies, women's sexual reactions are often constrained and cannot be naturally and strongly expressed as in primitive society. Therefore, education on women's sexual knowledge is often one-sided and lacks scientific basis. In adolescence, women are given cultural influence that denies sexual life, leading to many women being ignorant or misunderstood about sexual knowledge. Especially in our country, due to the long-term influence of feudal ethics and the superiority of men and women, education on sexual knowledge is poor. Women receive education on suppressing sexual behavior throughout their childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, requiring them to suppress sexual attraction and behavior. Over time, many women still intentionally suppress themselves during sexual activity after marriage, showing shyness and passivity during sexual activity, thus affecting the occurrence of orgasm.
2. Psychological and psychological factors: Psychological factors can lead to female orgasm suppression. For example, women who have experienced sexual trauma often develop fear of sex. Some women are worried about sexual pain, fear of pregnancy and miscarriage, or fear of experiencing sexual pleasure or orgasm, which can lead to emotional loss. Or due to emotional factors and psychological disorders (such as depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder), orgasmic disorders can be caused. The former can be caused by excessive mental stress, high work and life pressure, intense job competition, being scared, troubled, or sad, or consciously experiencing inferiority complex due to plain appearance, poor image, and shallow talent, intentionally avoiding sexual contact. Some women have poor health or suffer from other illnesses, and worry that they cannot meet their husbands' sexual needs, leading to anxiety. Some patients with mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, can also cause orgasmic disorders themselves.
3. Organic factors: Not commonly seen in clinical practice, mainly seen in diseases of the reproductive and urinary systems, such as diseases of the external genitalia, vagina, uterus and appendages, bladder, urethra, pelvic inflammatory disease, tumors, etc. During sexual intercourse, it can cause pain and discomfort, thus inhibiting the occurrence of orgasm. Diseases of other systems throughout the body can inhibit and interfere with sexual responses to varying degrees, disrupting the achievement of orgasm.
4. Drug factors: Some women suffer from mental illness and long-term treatment with antidepressants can lead to female orgasmic disorders. Scholars have pointed out that 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, etc., are commonly used and effective drugs for treating schizophrenia. Their mechanism of action is to block the reuptake of 5-HT by the presynaptic membrane of the 5-HT nerve endings, causing an increase in 5-HT in the brain and having an antidepressant effect. However, they can cause inhibition of orgasm, manifested as decreased libido or lack of orgasm. After discontinuation of medication, they can return to normal. Recently, there have been reports that sildenafil can successfully treat female orgasmic disorders caused by SSRIs.
The hazards of female orgasmic disorders
1. If the woman is unable to reach orgasm for a long time, the congestion of the breasts during sexual excitement often ends halfway. If breast congestion is not sufficient, it will subside slowly, several times slower than when breast congestion subsides after orgasm, which can easily lead to breast pain and pressure. Over time, the shadow of breast disease will quietly come. This may be greater and more severe than the side effects of not having sex.
2. Women who lack orgasm for a long time have an average of 2-3 years earlier menopause than normal women. Women who lack orgasm for a long time can seriously affect estrogen secretion, leading to menstrual irregularities, dysmenorrhea, and various gynecological diseases. Among women who cannot reach orgasm for a long time, 20% will lead to breast cancer, whose onset age is mainly between 48 and 58 years old.
