Vaginal orgasm development

Treatment for Anorgasmia

Finding out what is preventing vaginal orgasm, and addressing it

Female anorgasmia is a condition in which it is difficult to reach orgasm, or sexual sensation is reduced, even with sexual stimulation.

At UROGYN Woman Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, an obstetrician-gynecologist looks at physical causes such as vaginal laxity, dryness and pain together with hormonal, psychological and partner-related factors, then chooses the approach that fits the cause. We use five assessments: an interview, a vulvar examination, a vaginal examination, a hormone test and an ultrasound scan. From there we choose, as needed, from six approaches: working through psychological barriers, non-surgical care (Viveve, Revive, UltraVera, MonaLisa Touch, the O-Shot and more), surgical care, improving vaginal pressure, exercise and nutrition, and menopause care. This process is also known as vaginal orgasm development.

Developing vaginal orgasm

Through an interview and consultation, we review your sex life, identify what is preventing vaginal orgasm and work to address it.
