Symptoms of Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS) |

Text

Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome should not be confused with hypersexuality (sometimes known as nymphomania) where the woman displays a compulsive sexual desire and need for sex. Symptoms of Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS) or Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD) in women include - • Genital and breast vasocongestion (sudden and increased rush of blood) and sensitivity, setting off a highly distracting tingling sensation in the genital areas that persist for a lengthy period of time—sometimes for days, weeks and even months with little relief even after dozens of orgasms. • All women who report suffering from persistent sexual arousal syndrome find it unwanted, uncomfortable and distressing and get only temporary relief with orgasm. • Though the sexual arousal happens for some women round the clock (except while asleep) for no reason at all, even non-sexual stimuli such as riding in an automobile or train, mobile phone vibrations or even using the toilet are said to spike the syndrome unbearably. • Though it can affect women of any age, some doctors observe that the patients are mainly post-menopausal women in their 40s and 50s or women who have taken hormonal treatment and that it could be the result of an irregularity in sensory nerves. • Often the symptoms happen after surgery of bladder or brain surgery. • In some patients the simple up and down movement of legs can cause arousal. Each patient may face a different trigger that causes the arousal. In a few, being on progesterone therapy can act as a trigger for the syndrome. Some patients describe the arousal as ‘throbbing’ and others as ‘completely insatiable’ and describe it as ‘dreadful’ and become so bothered that they are almost suicidal. A patient of Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD) said – ‘I spend day after day -masturbating and showering and masturbating and showering.’ |

Posted on: 04/11/2013 After asking 6 or 7 doctors, I finally found one that has heard of this disorder. I am deeply relieved.
I have been in recovery for sexual addiction for over 13 years. No wonder I became a sex addict. I just celebrated 13 years of "sexual sobriety" which includes no masturbation or sex with others except a spouse. I am not married.
For me masturbation exasperates this condition. I have just started dating, and it is scary. I have been upfront about it with a couple of guys and it turned out ok so far. I have not had any "episodes" [orgasms] while with them. I am committed to not having premarital sex.
It is so wonderful I can talk about this with people that understand! It can be confusing. I have felt like a freak.

Posted on: 02/04/2013 One of the procedures that my doctor [although I didn't tell her what exactly my symptoms were] and I tried was a hysterectomy. Did not help. I thought that this condition was brought on by me having to stop tsking a hermone by the name of Prempro. Now I just don't know what is causing it. I've had this condition for almost 7 yrs. It's agonizing. I remember that years ago when I would be going thru pms, I would then have strong urges until I'd be over the pms....

Posted on: 01/21/2013 Praying Persistantly to Jehovah God, will give u longterm relief this problem. I get relief. The throbbing totally ceases.And when it comes back, I get to praying to Jehovah God directly through Jesus Christ name, and the intense urges g0 away and I didn't have to pay any monies to rid myself of this horrific issue. It last's for month's on end. No masturbating is a Must. No viewing of sexual content in any context is a Must. Nor speaking about it wih others in a sexual way outside of help. Get rid of your helper toys.

Posted on: 01/21/2013 I am relieved to know that there's a name for what I have. I so often felt that I must be the only person that feels this. It is agonizing and so hard to tell anyone about it. I have not told anyone, I feel very embarrassed. I am bipolar and think that the doctors will think that PGAD is all in my head. I am a Christian and am consumed with the notion that masterbating is sinful.

Posted on: 04/30/2013 I thought I was the only one also. Sadly it is embarrassing to talk about therefore few studies have been done. I went thru the same thing about 12 years ago. It started suddenly and just as sudden stopped. Then a couple of day's ago started again. Sadly I have no cure however an ice cold cloth seems to calm the feeling a little. [((Hugs])) |

Posted on: 01/16/2013 Try taking suboxone or subutex. I have had what I thought was painful bladder syndrome for years now. However, I recently seen a show on persistent genital arousal disorder and am now thinking I was misdiagnosed. The only thing that would help and releive me of my constant discomfort was painkillers and eventually heroin. When I decided to quit drugs, although I was worried I would just get back into them because of my pain, my first step was to take suboxone in order to get off drugs. And to my surprise, the painkiller in the suboxone also worked to releive me of my discomfort. So I'm still unsure as to whether or not I have painful bladder syndrome or persistent genital arousal disorder, but the latter of the two seems more in line with my symptoms. So try subutex or suboxone and PLEASE let me know if it helps!

Posted on: 12/15/2012 I have been facing this thing alone for about 8 years now. It is difficult. I never knew it is a disease. I thought it was me all along.I am an asthma patient.. So of course, I consume lots of medicine. I knew about this disease only after someone post about it in facebook. I hope there is a cure but I'm afraid they still do not exist. Lately, I've been thinking about committing suicide since this is too unbearable. Fortunately, for now.. beacuse of my religion.. I don't. |

Posted on: 12/08/2012 I have had this condition since I was 19 years old. I have not told anyone about it. I am needing to play constantly and it is not always convenient to do so. I would like to know what to do when I am in a group of friends and need to play. I also am hoping there are places I can go for help.

Posted on: 02/24/2013 I know exactly how you feel. Ive had psas since i was about 5years old. It has drove me insane and playing doesn't help me (not sure if it does with other sufferers with this condition). It has nearly destroyed my marriage due to the fact of being turned on constantly. No one can seem to help :( |

Posted on: 12/07/2012 I'm almost 15 years old from Greece and I think I have this disorder since I was born, or since I can remember myself. I've never told anyone, but I would like to talk with other sufferers. The only thing I know for pgad or psas is that someone has orgasms for some reason. Please if anybody knows a support group, or would like to talk with me somehow and make me understand what is this disorder about and which exactly are the symptoms, this would help a lot. Thank you

Posted on: 11/19/2012 I'm 28 years old from the Middle East and have been having this issue ever since I can remember [Very Very young age]
My Mother took me to clinics and one dr suggested that it might be a result of having Hernia (which later I got diagnosed for) but the condition never stopped but probably got worst..
I have been searching all these years for answers until I came across a documentary highlighting this issue in 2007.
Now at least there are blogs and sites highlighting this SYNDROME which will definitely helps Women all over the world to understand it, give awareness and hopefully get a cure.

Posted on: 11/23/2012 Please see an Asian doctor it's related to a nerve along the side of your foot that goes up to your big toe. It's being stimulated and in turn stimulating your arousal. It sounds crazy but it's one of the very possible causes that always gets overlooked by medical doctors. |
