Treating PGAD (Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder): Part 2
PGAD is a neurological disorder that causes patients to have a buzzy and/or painful sensation in the genitals. Please do not confuse any of this with pleasure. A patient asked me if this dysfunction has anything to do with estrogen and after reading many articles, I am coming to the conclusion that estrogen does playing important role. When estrogen is low, the repair and growth of the nerves is low, and patients suffer more with depression, anxiety and decrease in cognitive function. As a result they are prescribed SSRIs to address those symptoms. If you have PGAD please seek help from very experienced Pelvic Floor therapist and have your hormones tested.
