Pudendal Neuromodulation as a Treatment for Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder-A Case Series.
Persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) is a rare life-altering condition characterized by unwanted, uncomfortable genital sensations or spontaneous orgasms without physical or emotional stimulation. Its etiology remains unclear, and a variety of treatments have been attempted with incomplete resolution. We propose that chronic pudendal neuromodulation (CPN) may be a useful treatment for PGAD symptoms. ⋯ Chronic pudendal neuromodulation can be an effective treatment for decreasing frequency of PGAD symptoms and providing symptom relief.
