In this scientific review, pursuing the objective of generalizing the contemporary views on the etiology and pathogenesis of female anorgasmia and the new methods of studying and treating these disorders, we review data, pertaining to the peculiarities of female orgasm, the causes of its disorder, contemporary approaches to examination, diagnostics, and differential diagnostics of orgasmic dysfunction. This will make it possible to gain new insights into the nature of female erogenous reactivity and orgasm, to develop new areas of therapy and forecast their results. We have studied over 80 sources, 42 of which have been included in this review.
