Syndrome of persistent genital excitation

The syndrome of persistent genital excitation (SGEP), still called syndrome of genital excitation permanent , is a Perception of genital excitation prolonged in spite of the absence of Sexual desire or sexual stimulation. The Syndrome of this condition, affecting the Woman S, is generally source of Stress.

Description

This syndrome was described for the first time in 2001 by the American sexologists Leiblum and Nathan. Initially, Leiblum and Nathan had named it “ Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome ” (PSAS) but one prefers from now on the term of “ Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder ” (PGAD).

It is about the perception of which has occurred of a genital excitation in the absence of Sexual desire or of sexual stimulation. This one can lead to one or more Orgasme S (obtained only or with a partner) what gets a temporary relief. The feeling of genital excitation often persists without phantasms or thoughts of sexual nature and without to be started by an obvious reason. This situation is badly lived by the women who suffer from it. It is source of stress and concern.

Diagnosis

The diagnosis rests on 5 criteria:

  1. the genital excitation and clitoridienne persists for one length of time going several hours at several
  2. days the genital excitation is not related to a subjective impression of sexual desire
  3. the physical genital excitation does not disappear after a simple orgasm and generally several
  4. of it the feeling of genital excitation requires is intrusive and undesirable
  5. the genital excitation is, at least, moderately painful.

Symptomatology

The symptomatology of the SEGP is the following one: swarming clitoridien (85% of the patients), vaginal congestion (80%), lubrication (76%), contractions vaginal (71%), vaginal swarming (70%), pain clitoridienne (20%) and vaginal pain (17%). Half of the patients reached of SEGP suffer permanently from the symptoms of genital excitation, other half feels them in an intermittent way. The women test many negative feelings: frustration (89%), concern (85%), concern (64%), bizarrery (64%), embarrassment (60%), concern (51%), depresses (47%), shame (38%), culpability (33%), faintness (28%).

Treatment

The treatments remain very disappointing and there does not exist currently any physiological explanation to this disorder. Leiblum notes however that the Masturbation makes it possible certain women to relieve their disorder (it is necessary for them then on average 5 + 3,6 orgasms) but which it worsens on the contrary the SGEP in other patients. If the masturbation makes it possible to relieve 53% of the patients, more one on four needs at least half an hour to reach the orgasm and half of the women says to need more and more stimulation to reach that point. Lastly, about half of the patients gathered by Leiblum physically find these self-stimulations painful or painful
