Abstract
Aim
Orgasm is the ultimate pleasurable sexual experience in sexual life, a phenomenon that is difficult to depict and uncertain. A satisfying sexual life plays a vital role in the physical and mental health of men and women, the relationship between husband and wife, and family harmony. In the past, it was thought that female orgasm was related to the G-spot in the vagina, but it has never been proven. In this review, we focus on the anatomy of the vaginal vestibule, vagina, Urethra, Skene gland, and clitoris to explore the origin of female orgasm.
Methods
The published articles were reviewed, including original articles, reviews, letters to the editor, and case reports, regarding the female reproductive system.
Results
The concept of the clitourethrovaginal complex (CUV) explains the mechanism of the female orgasm, which is not produced by a single organ acting alone, but by the synergistic action of multiple organs and tissues.
Conclusion
The concept of CUV complex not only reveals the principle of female orgasm but also provides new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of female sexual medicine in the future.
