Throbbing clitoris/urethra no pain help please serious question
I've had this symptom for ages now it's like a throbbing or a pulse/beating somewhere near my clitoris or urethra. I can't tell which one :( I tried looking but it doesn't seem to throb at that time. It's worse if I have my legs crossed or straight out when I'm laying down. It's not because I'm turned on .. It doesn't feel Nice it's just so annoying!!!!
It doesn't really happen when I'm standing up. Please does anyone know what can cause this?? There's no pain and I can't think what would be causing this. Or how to tell where it is coming from. I've noticed if I apply pressure to that area it stops. Also. It occurs more if I need a wee.
It doesn't have a pattern it occurs, it's just random.
It's so frustrating. Sometimes I just want to sit down and relax without feeling it, but I can't.
Thanks :( I'm do desperate for answers I've searched everywhere :(

I have these exact symptoms almost to a T. The only differences is that I feel a little better when I lay down or relax my pelvic muscles and it hurts a bit to push when I pee. I know isn’t not PGAD because there is no actual arousal and there is no pain. How many doctors did you go to??? Did they find anything???
I’m going to a woman’s urology office in two weeks if they figure anything out I’ll update you.

Hi LeeRoyster. Try starting your own thread as you will definitely get answers that way. Use Ask a Question at the top of the forum. You are saying you've been tested for a UTI? What about another kind of infection? I would wonder if a round of antibiotics would clear this up. Say you have a little abrasion that has gotten infected or hair follicle (yes, can happen there) and that is causing inflammation. Do you get any relief from ibuprofen?
I'm just updating this post. I made it back in 2013 and its 2022 now! Im now 25. Wow. Anyway, I STILL experience this. Its still very annoying and stresses me out sometimes. I've really just learnt to deal with it and try relax more. I've found that its so bad when im stressed or anxious or frustrated. Like its awful when I feel those. I was also diagnosed with ocd as well and whenver I get really anxious with ocd, the feeling goes crazy lol. Some random new symptoms I found, was that whenever I drink alcohol its worse. It also burns A LOT down there even if I have a small amount of alcohol.
There's so many responses here! So many people experiencing similar symptoms. It's nice to know that we aren't completely alone. (Not happy anyone's experiencing this but, u get what I mean)

i dont know do i need to open an account to make this comment but if i had to, i’ll do. i’m a woman who is 20 years old, i have sexual ocd since my childhood. it began at when i was 4-5 years old i guess. now i also have cheating ocd which makes me to think i’m cheating my boyfriend. i had the sexual ocd since my childhood like what i said and i had the cheating ocd since 2021 i guess, it started with my first relationship’s 3rd or 4th month. i got the diagnosis in 2021 for both but i was guessing i had an ocd before diagnosis. i’m using antidepressants since i was 14 for anxiety and depression. i always had a hard life because of sexual ocd but with cheating ocd, my life became hell for me. i was having this “genital anxiety” about years but now i’m more sensitive because of my cheating ocd. i’m always thinking like “am i cheating my bf, am i attacked to other people, am i turning on???” and believe me, even finding someone attractive is totally cheating for me. there’s no need to talk, flirt, sex etc and i believe i’m not finding someone attactive (i’m not saying like finding someone beautiful or handsome as a person, not talking about that. i meant something physical, sexual, romantic etc. attraction) but i’m having this thing and also wetness. i’m always thinking like am i horny now?? do i want sex but no, i’m not feeling in that way but still afraiding. when i feel horny randomly, i’m always checking did something happen wrong, did it happen for someone other than my bf, WHAT HAPPENED??? etc. i dont know how can i deal with it. now i’m dropping the medicine i use and i’ll use stronger medicine after i drop current medicine (dropping current one because mixing is dangerous so i have to drop current one and start stronger after it). when i started to drop dose by dose, everything getting worse. i was a little bit better about 3-4 months (having obsessions always but i was less felt anxiety in these times) and now i’m feeling more anxious because of dropping current medicine i guess and about 1-2 weeks, this genital movement getting worse for me. i’m always thinking and cheking there, also having wetness sometimes and feeling anxious. i’m so tired living my life like that and i dont know what should i need to do. i’m seeing physiologist and psychiatrist both, having therapy but these are not working nowadays. i know stronger medicine will be hard for me too because even current medicine, i was loosing %80 of my emotions (being sad, happy, scared etc etc). i was mostly having anger and it is still happening. i dont know what will i do but i want to say you are not alone in this girls. i’m sharing it with you too. i hope we can handle these soon.
also sorry about mistakes in my write, i’m writing fast and eng is not my first language. btw i’m having this movement after i had an orgasm most of the time but in these times it is happening 15-20 times in a minute but randomly movements in my obsessions (i hope they are obsessions, not reality), it is happening max 2-3 times, mostly happening once at an obsessive thought. i’m searching these always but not finding something useful about it. also i’m not experiencing pain in these times, only movements or wetness sometimes. it is happening when i see someone. sometimes having them only seeing someone in normal, sometimes seeing someone in a sexual position (porns, photos etc) and obviously sexual ones are making me more anxious… and because of i’m bisexual, MY PAIN IS DOUBLE AF. i dont know is this still an obsession even they are sexual things directly but all i know is i dont want anyone or anything other than my bf. he is the one. i know it. he is my first love and i want it as last too. he is knowing everything about my illness and obviously it is affecting our relationship but he is still with me and i’m grateful that i’m having him. i gonna loose my mind soon i guess, i’m LITERALLY saying it
i want “it”??:D sorries to my bf when i talked about him as a puppy:( btw having these moments in normal sexual feelings to my bf too but i believe they are also not real too. i just feel like these are happening because of i’m always waiting, checking and focusing on them. idk, if a therapist reading my writes, please contact me. i can be your lab rat for ocd:((
It sounds like you've had some therapy, since you have names for the kind of OCD you have. Can you get back to therapy? A lot of what you are talking about here is definitely mind-driven, as you say, not real. And with the right doctor, OCD is curable. When a relative of mine was having a lot of trouble with OCD, his regular doctor knew who in the local medical community was good with OCD therapy, and gave him a recommendation. It worked -- probably removed 98% of his obsessive thoughts by the things they did to manage it. Please give it a try if you're not in therapy now, since life can be pretty miserable in the thrall of obsessive thoughts. Good luck.
Hi, i have had severe pain on my clitoris, i cannot even touch it in the slightest without pain!,i also have a yellowish pus looking line on it. I cannot go anywhere due to coronavirus and i am in need as in a lot of pain but cannot tell my mum about it! Help!!!
i made this post back in 2013, i randomly remembered this and thought id check in. I still experience this! I have kind of just learnt to deal with it. It doesnt bother me as much now. I know its nothing serious, however, its still pretty frustrating. Being stressed really triggers it. i was diagnosed with pcos but honestly, 99% sure that has nothing to do with it. Sometimes it feels like burning down there and it seems to throb more but.. other than that.. nothing new.

I'm new here, this started for me about a month ago. I'm 49 and haven't been sexually active in years. I thought it was a standard issue UTI a month ago, had all the same signs as one, mainly the persistent need to urinate. But it didn't bother me much. I waited maybe 2 weeks to long to ask for help and got on a 3 day antibiotic treatment - with no effect. I was convinced this had to be a bad uTI, maybe now a kidney infection, but I went in for blood/urine test and all of it came back negative. My doctor dismissed it all, so I came searching on the internet and found this. My only symptoms is the extreme clitoral sensitivity and the need to pee.
About a month ago I switched from zoloft (which I'd been taking for several months) to Prozac. I had no physical issues on Zoloft. I also started Xanax for panic episodes. I was also given a prescription for mirapex for restless leg. So I'm trying to tie in if the Prozac/xanax/mirapex might be an issue or if it is entirely physical. Since this "came out of the blue," never having any sort of physical reaction to anything like it before, I'm not laying it on any particular stress or anxiety or anything like that. The anti-depressants have done their job. Since quarantine started, I've been fairly inactive, but not particularly stressed. The idea that this could be the result of some physical pressure, like a pinched nerve, makes sense to me, as it seems if we're in this semi-aroused state, it's because blood if flowing there and won't stop. It's stuck there. It's particularly bad when I sit, and reading along, that's pretty common for others. Walking helps a little, but when you're tired of walking? I haven't noticed anything improve when laying down, either. I've taken to using one of those donut pillows to sit on. It helps a little.
So I think it's a combination of something like a pinched nerve, pressure (because this is a measurable physical effect happening, even if it isn't an infection), blood flow getting trapped and I'm wondering if anyone has discussed fallen bladders? My doctors says it's just an irritated bladder and wants to prescribe me lidocaine cream. *I* want an MRI of my pelvic region to rule out some physical issue. Reading about women dealing with this for years is terrifying. I've only had it a month and I've been feeling suicidal and all the work of the anti-depressants is undone. If there *is* a connection with the anti-depressants, I'm not sure how that can be proven, except to be weaned off of them, and see if it gets better or worse. But I'm leaning heavily toward this being a physical problem with blood flow somehow getting trapped and keeping the clitoris in a sensitized state that is not relieved or aided by masturbation (only adds to the blood flow, which does not recede).
I thank you for starting this thread as it has given a lot of support and hope to people over the years that they're not crazy and this is a measurable phenomenon that might be more common, but people are too ashamed. When I first started my search, looking into acute UTIs, it never lead me here. I had to type in "sensitive clitoris uti" and how many think to do that? There's a lot of depression about this and I hope more people will open up about it so we can have proper research and care.
I did find this site for this Center for Vulvovaginal Disorders, but they are on the East Coast: http://vulvodynia.com/conditions/persistent-genital-arousal-disorder-pgad.
Since others on this thread have varied in age, from teens to much older, I'm curious too if menstruation/hormones play a role, but that sounds even further down the line.
My best to you and everyone.

I chalk this up to the same thing as when men have a tingling or even erection that may not be sexually induced or wanted but is there all the same and you may see them "adjust" themselves or some may have to relieve themselves to 'get rid of it'... I believe that women's physiology is complicated and extensive and has barely been explored and studied. A lot of what we have come to self hate, either through honest lack of knowledge or what we've been taught, is simply natural and mostly good. But we don't view it as this because we don't know any better. It happens to a lot, in varying levels of severity and frequency with innumerous triggers different momentary solutions that last for various lengths of time. But, I don't believe that it should be termed or viewed as a dysfunction.
Just reporting, this is still going on with me. It's been about 2 and a half years, more on than off. I try not to think of it as a bad thing even though it is irritating.
New considerations: Do any of you have a matching buzzing in your palms or feet? Do you feel the throb migrating to your thigh? Do any of you have bipolar disorder? Did any of you injure your back before this started?
