Throbbing clitoris/urethra no pain help please serious question

[Lenozi]

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 :(

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?

Hi everyone!

I’m 24 and I’ve struggled with this for a few years now, what was on and off and then constant every day.
I still don’t have any answers but my Gynecologist prescribed me amitriptyline in both gel and pill form. It targets nerve pain and it’s helped A LOT. You take the pill before bed and it also helps with sleep, and apply gel directly to the affected area. It’s still there but I don’t notice it as much and it’s not as intrusive on my life. I was completely distressed by it, and still have my bad days, but it has helped.

I’m also about to start seeing a psychologist to target any anxiety related to it, so I’ll let you know if I get any good advice!

I also see a common theme with anxiety here. Has getting back on SSRIs helped anyone with these symptoms? I stopped Lexapro 4-5 months ago and these symptoms (tingling/throbbing) started a couple weeks ago. Thought it as a UTI but it came back negative. Thank you all for sharing your experiences. So glad to hear I am not alone.

I am weaning off of Lexapro after being on it for a year, and I just started having the clit pulsing/twitching sensation too! Any development?

[specialmom]

Ugh, that sounds uncomfortable.  Do you think it is related to the Lexapro weaning?

God, I really hope people are still responding to this.

I've had this feeling in my vagina or my clit or whatever since May of this year, only back then it would only happen for a night and then go away whenever I woke up the next day.

It started up again a couple days ago, and has only gotten worse. It's been almost 3 or 4 days, and after reading this thread, I'm terrified that I'll end up with it for years. I'm only 19. I have college and bad anxiety and OCD that causes me to pull out my hair! I don't need this right now!

I just need help. If anyone could give me advice on what to do, that would be awesome. I know going to the doctor and the gynecologist is the first step, but where do I go from there?

I'm having somewhat of the same issue. But my gets swollen and hurts instead of throbs. But it doesn't hurt to wipe or pee. Only when I have the urge to pee too. It's been going on for a month now.

I am 57. I have suffered from this for well over 10 years. Started sometime through menopause, I'm pretty sure. Hormonal changes can be a cause for Vulvodynia. Many doctors don't have an answer. A helpful pharmacist that I recently confided in about my desperate need to find out what was wrong and if there was help,  did some research for me and came across the info that I posted. I just got a new doctor and told him about the info that was shared with me. I also told him that this year has been far more worse than other past yrs. I have gone to work multiple times throughout the weeks having lost 2-3 nights of sleep. I am at my wits end. He has put in a referral for me to see a specialist. Hopefully I will get some help then. If surgery is the answer, I'm a go for that. Can't cope with this any longer.
Hope this helps.
