Everything about Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder totally explained
Persistent genital arousal disorder (also known as
persistent sexual arousal syndrome or
PSAS) results in a spontaneous and persistent
genital arousal, with or without
orgasm or genital engorgement, unrelated to any feelings of
sexual desire. It was first documented by Dr.
Sandra Leiblum in 2001, only recently characterized as a distinct
syndrome in medical literature. Some physicians use the term Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome to refer to the condition in women; others consider the syndrome of
priapism in men to be the same disorder.
Possible causes and treatment
There isn't enough known about persistent genital arousal disorder to definitively pinpoint a cause. Medical professionals think it's caused by an irregularity in
sensory nerves, and note that the disease has a tendency to strike post-
menopausal women in their 40s and 50s, or those who've undergone
hormonal treatment. But, there have also been cases reported among women in their 30s., in which case discontinuing the medication may give relief. Additionally, the condition can sometimes start only after the discontinuation of
SSRIs. In some recorded cases, the syndrome was caused by a pelvic arterial-venous malformation with arterial branches to the
penis or
clitoris; surgical treatment was effective in this case.
In other situations where the cause is unknown or less easily treatable, the symptoms can sometimes be reduced by the use of
antidepressants,
antiandrogenic agents and
anaesthetising gels.
Psychotherapy with cognitive reframing of the arousal as a healthy response may also be used.
