Persistent sexual arousal syndrome is a rare condition that causes women to experience multiple orgasms a day, which can happen anywhere, as long as there is minimal stimulation, such as riding a bus, the vibration of a cell phone or the sound itself. the hair dryer, for example. This is a disease that causes embarrassment and most carriers have difficulties in assuming that they have this disease.
In this syndrome there is a persistent increase in blood flow in the sexual organs that causes the woman to be constantly aroused, even if she is not thinking or doing anything that has a sexual connotation. Although its cause has not yet been discovered, there is a suspicion that an inflammation in the pelvic organs is causing this constant stimulation in the intimate region.
How to identify this syndrome
For the diagnosis of female genital arousal syndrome, the following signs and symptoms should be observed:
- Genital swelling and redness with throbbing in the region; Nipples may or may not become firmer; Multiple orgasms throughout the day, with or without any stimulus or triggering factor.
These signs must be present for more than 48 hours without completely disappearing even after multiple orgasms that can last for hours or even days, causing discomfort and embarrassment, often preventing women from studying or working.
In this disease, the woman remains aroused with or without any type of sexual stimulus and the orgasms are spontaneous, unwanted and uncontrollable, bringing feelings such as anguish and fear. They can happen every minute and persist for more than 2 days, until the woman can be at least 2 hours calm.
Unlike what happens in nymphomania, a woman may have no sexual desire to explain the persistent arousal and high frequency of orgasms.
What can cause this syndrome
The causes of persistent genital arousal disorder are not yet fully understood.
Symptoms usually begin after age 40 and appear to be related to soy consumption; brain injuries; hypersensitivity of the pelvic nerve, which irrigates the clitoris and is therefore more sensitive; pelvic varicose veins and the use of remedies for depression.
Some remedies that seem to be related to this disorder are Venlafaxine, a remedy that treats depression and Trazodone, which can lead to an increase in clitoral size in some women. However, there is no scientific evidence of this fact because the number of women who consume these drugs is very large and less than 10 have been diagnosed with this syndrome.
How to treat
The treatments are not yet fully effective for everyone because the causes of this syndrome are not yet known. However, there are studies that indicate that electroconvulsive therapy sessions and the use of medications such as varenicline were effective in stopping the syndrome in some women. A woman removed the clitoris through surgery, but continued with constant orgasms and therefore, this surgery is not indicated as a form of treatment.
Psychotherapy sessions can help women overcome feelings of sadness, anguish and fear, and it is believed that what can help is for women to set aside time for them to have a large number of orgasms in a row, so that the body can so relax a little bit.
Trying to occupy and distract the mind with repetitive physical tasks like rubbing or polishing, in addition to exercising can help to decrease the frequency, because if the woman does not try these strategies she could have more than 100 orgasms a day, for decades.
