Treatment of Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder
Pelvic floor physical therapy Psychological therapies Treatment of persistent genital arousal disorder is unclear. At first, orgasms (including self-stimulated ones) may bring temporary relief, but they often become less effective, as well as being an unsatisfactory, impractical solution. Pelvic floor physical therapy, including muscle relaxation exercises with Biofeedback , may help, especially when combined with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. A Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (SSRI), an antidepressant, may be effective, but there is little evidence to support its usefulness. Simple recognition of the existence of this disorder, with reassurance that it can spontaneously resolve, may help some women. Information about the disorder and support are also helpful, as can specific treatment of anxiety, including psychological therapies and/or medications.
