No there is no diagnose called that today. When that was used sexual pleasure for women was also considered a sin and something unnatural. We know better today.

Although today "hysteria" is used in the meaning of "general panic" it was originally a condition applied only to women. Hysteria was named from the Greek word for uterus, hystera (ὑστέρα). The Greeks (Plato) thought the uterus roamed though a woman's body generally causing mischief. Then again the Greeks thought that the purpose of the brain was to keep the inside of the nose damp.
