Signs and Symptoms
In women, the symptoms of the disorder include:
- Lack of vaginal lubrication
- Lack of vaginal dilation or lengthening
- Decreased genital tumescence or swelling
- Decreased genital or nipple sensation
However, whether lack of physiological arousal is a reliable symptom of the disorder is questionable. Research has shown that women with arousal deficits and women without arousal deficits show equivalent increases in physiological response during experience of erotic stimuli.
