Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder
Treatment of Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder
Treatment of persistent genital arousal disorder is unclear. Self-stimulation to orgasm may provide relief initially, but this treatment usually becomes less effective over time, and most women find this treatment distressing. Pelvic floor physical therapy with biofeedback may help, especially when it is combined with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. A high-dose of a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) (SSRI) has been reported effective, but data are few. Simple recognition of the existence of this disorder, with reassurance that it can spontaneously remit, may help some women.
