Somatization disorder requires the presence of multiple physical symptoms across different bodily systems and a significant impairment in daily functioning due to these symptoms. The DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for somatic symptom disorder specify that individuals must have at least one symptom that is distressing or disruptive and often focused on pain or gastrointestinal symptoms. Neurological symptoms can also be included in the diagnosis. However, sexual pain symptoms are not necessarily required for a diagnosis of somatization disorder.
