Management of persistent genital arousal disorder: A case report

Abstract

Persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) is a pathological condition characterized by intrusive, unwanted, and distressing symptoms related to spontaneous and prolonged sensations of genital arousal in the absence of sexual desire or stimulation that may compromise the individual’s quality of life. Here, we report the case of a woman who suffered from PGAD probably associated with multiple alterations in the spinal column and Tarlov cyst, which caused the compression of nerve roots and the abnormal sensitivity of the genital region.
