Constant irritating pulsing in clit?? Help!!

[caroline92755]

For over a year whenever i'm sitting or lying down my clit pulses in annoying way, i'm never turned on when it happens. i'm fourteen and a virgin so it's not something related to sex. someone else's post said it might be Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder, which i might have, so are there any treatments for PGAD that doesn't involve surgery? it's affecting my schoolwork too, once in school it was throbbing so bad during a test so i had to go to the bathroom to relieve it; and ten seconds later it was back. when i masturbate i never even orgasm anymore, it's just to temporarily get rid of the annoying urge. please help :(

I'm sorry this is happening.

First, you should get this evaluated. It sounds like it could be PGAD, but you should make sure that it isn't something like an entrapped nerve or a mediation is causing these symptoms.

If it is PGAD, there are some medications that may work. Therapy also seems to help - this is not that it's a psychological disorder, but stress and anxiety play a role in making it worse. (And really - it's a constant irritation in one of the most sensitive areas on your body - who wouldn't be stressed and anxious?)

Here are some things you can read, and show to your doctor, who may or may not have experience treating it, since it's rare -

Good luck, and let us know what happens.
