title: Orgasmic dysfunction.
abstract: Orgasmic disorders are common in women. Unfortunately a lack of consistent, uniform definitions has made this a difficult disorder to study in depth. Etiology is frequently multifactorial, with psychologic issues often playing a prominent role. Diagnosis depends on a detailed history, which then guides treatment to target the underlying causes. Cognitive behavioral therapy has the most favorable outcome evidence to date.
