Female Orgasmic Disorder: Current Understanding and Clinical Management

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to enhance understanding and clinical management of Female Orgasmic Disorder (FOD), a condition affecting 10-28% of women characterized by persistent difficulty or absence of orgasm. They discuss the complex interplay of neurobiological, hormonal, and psychosocial factors contributing to FOD, the importance of comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments for diagnosis, and the lack of FDA-approved pharmacologic treatments while highlighting the need for individualized management strategies. The review also emphasizes future research directions to improve diagnostic tools and clinical education regarding female sexual health.
