Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder
Understanding Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD)
Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD) is a distressing condition characterized by unwanted and uncontrollable genital arousal, often unrelated to sexual desire. This condition can cause significant physical discomfort, emotional distress, and disruptions to daily life. Addressing PGAD requires a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach tailored to each individual’s needs.
Common Causes of PGAD
PGAD can be influenced by various physical and psychological factors, including:
Nerve Dysfunction: Irritation or compression of the pudendal nerve.
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: Tension or spasms in the pelvic muscles contributing to arousal sensations.
Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuations in estrogen, testosterone, or serotonin levels.
Medication Side Effects: Certain antidepressants, hormone therapies, or withdrawal from medications.
Psychological Factors: Anxiety, stress, or past trauma exacerbating symptoms.
Blood Flow Abnormalities: Circulatory issues that contribute to heightened sensitivity.
Symptoms of PGAD
- Persistent or recurrent feelings of genital arousal without sexual desire.
- Physical sensations such as tingling, burning, or throbbing in the genital area.
- Symptoms that worsen with sitting, certain movements, or stress.
- Temporary relief after orgasm, followed by a rapid return of symptoms.
- Emotional distress, anxiety, or depression due to ongoing symptoms.
