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 :(

I typed in a simular question and was delighted that someone had done so before me. Thank you. Since coming off of anti psycotic and anti depression meds to go onto different ones I have had this pulsing down there, which is terribly difficult as my husband is next to me, adding the anxiety that i was sexualy abused all adds up to a pretty awful experience. I am hoping that like another lady, these symptoms along with all the other symptoms will go away when I am back on other meds. I am trying to let the feeling flow out by conciously making myself relax and or tensing up that area like I would in a body yawn. This helps to relieve the sensation a little. I tried to physically relieve myself, but that just made everything swell up and get a whole lot worse. I guess because of my abuse starting when I was a few months old and being cognitive part of my growing up, my anxiety and weak spot is going to be down there. I thank you for putting this post up and for starting a conversation that would other wise be too embarrassing to ask anyone else x

Something that has also stuck out to me while reading the thead is an anxiety, depression and related meds theme. Could this and the restless genital syndrome be something ?

I wasn’t ready to send that.  On my phone, this little box gets nuts. Haha!  No pun intended!    I was told that about the obsession when I was younger.  I have had to escape to the bathroom to TRY to relieve it.  As a child, not knowing WHAT IT WAS, I would do it right there in class.  I just wanted to add that it is more of a problem for me when I am bloated.  Somehow, it’s all related.  Has to be.  I am so very glad I’m not the only person to have this.  This is the first time I have ever googled it.

Yea I've had to do the same thing sometimes. Even as much as going down the road. Time and again. Its sucks.

[kkparr33]

I have had this problem all of my life! It is awful.  Relieving it does not help.  I have tried for hours at a time to relieve it.  I read somewhere that for those of us who have this WITHOUT pain or urinary issues/pain, it is actually blood flowing to the clit or the whole area.  I get it most often when I am bloated and I can feel it flutter in my stomach, too.  We do have Seratonin in the gut and that does increase sexual arousal, but this is not fun sexual arousal!!  My naval feels almost like its aroused!  I push on it and my whole stomach.  It’s ALL sensitive but the throbbing is awful.  I feel the pressure in my stomach also.  This has been a BIG problem all of my life  me up at night as I try to relieve it over and over and over. I had one dr tell me it was an obsession to masterbation.

Bless it. Yea i can do what would normally would make it better a hundred times and it still feel the same, like I never did anything.and do u feel lime a big cat is kneading on ur buttocks while u are sitting? I do. And all of these messed up Sensations started after I have a severely pinched nerve my tailbone in 2012. It's a horrable way to have to live. And yea when I told my gyn dr about it, he told me to get siko sexual  therapy. Go figure.

If you are on vitamins such as sea kelp which is high in iodine and also contains some arsenic this could be causing the problem so try not taking any vitamins for a few weeks and see If this helps

Just thought I’d give some hope to people, I had exactly this and it’s gone away for me. It was an anxiety thing this whole time but took me months to believe it because it felt SO real. Even when I fully believed it was anxiety caused it still took a while to go away but now I’m 100% fine. Don’t give up people! What helped with was reassurance by going the doctors and talking to people about it. Google reassured me too but I definitely don’t recommend googling because it can also do the complete opposite and make you much much worse. If anyone needs someone to talk to, I’m here. I understand so much how terrifying this can be and also very embarrassing to talk about. :( Just PM me if anyone needs someone to talk to who’s been through it and needs some reassurance. :-) (obviously I’m not a doctor though so if you truly have a condition I won’t be able to know!)

Hi - I hope you don't mind me asking a question/venting my frustration (because it's so hard dealing with this solo when no one else understands) BUT - I put this comment below and just figured you have been the most recently active. So here I go:

I have had the same feeling, for nearly two years now. mine happened straight after a UTI that I had (it was so bad I ended up in hospital) for months after I still had a feeling of a mild UTI, I went to the doctors so many times for a test and always came back negative.
since then it is a constant tingling/throbbing feeling in that area.
I have seen a urologist who has complete a cystoscopy to ensure it was not IC (it wasn't), she gave me endep (a very very mild antidepressant to help at night & a endep cream to use external on effected area (I found that both didn't help), she suggested physio of the pelvic floor which I did (probably too half assed and need to try hard again) and the next step is talking to a sex therapist as this is taking a huge toll on my relationship.
Also noted lots of people have mentioned anxiety - which I have far too much of, but the feeling is so real - so to say it's anxiety makes me feel like I am going crazy ?!

Has anyone experienced similar thing after a UTI ? I do feel reassured knowing I'm not the only one out there so thanks everyone else for opening up

I had mine after a UTI too!! That's so weird, been having the same feeling for almost 6 months now ):

Hello everyone, I am so glad to have found that this is a real thing, and it's not just me. I read the entire thread, and decided to contribute to this discussion, because my background is a little different from you ladies'. If so many doctors can't find anything wrong, this may not be a medical thing.
I have this too, and I am pretty sure this feeling is at least partly, the urge to squirt.

Here's my story: I started feeling this throbbing tingling pulsing sensation in my clit about 10 months ago. There is never pain, only an incredibly insistent sensation. I was 22 at the time, and it has been happening non stop since then, at different levels of intensity. I have never taken any type of prescription meds in my life. I'm a virgin, and I had never masturbated before the start of this feeling, but I've done it approximately daily, since then.
Odd fact, I started having sleep orgasms, like wet dreams, but I'm female, when I was 13 or so. It used to happen abt 3x a month but hasnt happened since I started masturbating. My absolute best guess at what this weird feeling is, is built up sexual energy.

Why I think so: the feeling reduces from an 8 to a 1 when I orgasm, then slowly builds to a 4 in a cpl min/ hrs. By the next day back to 8. I have never used any vibrators or other tools besides my hand. If I have more than one orgasm in the same session, the feeling stays gone longer.
Biggest finding: if I squirt, the feeling disappears immediately and entirely, for hours and sometimes days.

I know that the squirt debate is intense abt whether it is real, and I am glad I learned to do it before I read any confusing stuff on the net. It is real. People wonder if it is just pee. It isnt. To test, I once orgasmed and squirted abt a teaspoon of absolutely clear thin liquid, and tasted it: it was sweet like coconut water. A few seconds later, I peed and got goldish liquid, a drop of which tasted bitter/salt. Pe and squirt are different. I realise that this throbbing feeling we have doesn't go away when I pee, but it does when I squirt.

I can orgasm without squirting, and the feeling only dims a little and I have the same buzzing throbbing, in addition to pelvic heaviness. And like, a sad feeling if that makes sense. If I squirt I immediately feel 100% normal again.

So I think we need a more inquisitive loving approach here. If we didn't know what hunger was we would  all be scared of "this scary gnawing feeling that happens in my belly area", you know?

I used to be really afraid of this feeling in the beginning, but I don't think it's a bad thing.

Hello
I started feeling like this 2 months ago. I visited three different docs and urologists with no result. They all prescribed antibiotics. I felt relief while I was taking cipro but when I stopped the syptoms came back. My uti test was negative. It started when I irritated my urethra. I found a cause and think that I have IC (interstitial cystitis). I'm symptom free as far as I follow the IC diet. But as soon as I eat sth acidic it starts throbing again and the pressure and the need to pee comes back. I also sometimes feel like my bladder lining is itching from the inside. I hope this helps, I think I should stick with the diet in order to not irritate my irritated urethra and bladder further and give the lining time to heal.wish you all a pain free life, may all of you find a solution. I suggest you test yourself with the IC diet I'm hopeful it helps.
