Have you ever encountered the term PGAD? Despite its relative obscurity, it gained some mainstream attention in the early 2000s, even prompting a Saturday Night Live skit that portrayed it as a condition one might desire. Which is far from something that someone would actually want.
Today I give you a comprehensive overview what PGAD is discussing its history, prevalence, symptoms, and the significant impact it has on a patient's life.
I emphasize the distressing nature of PGAD and how it can often lead to severe impairment of daily living and even suicidal ideation in some cases. This candid discussion addresses the need for awareness and understanding of PGAD and its far-reaching effects.
I also delve into the multi-faceted approach to treating PGAD. I outline the different regions of the body that are considered in the diagnosis and treatment of PGAD, including the end organ (genital pelvic region), the pelvic floor, the spinal cord, and the brain.
I highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary treatment approach, involving various specialists, therapists, and clinicians, to tailor treatment plans for individual patients.
Highlights:
- PGAD is a condition associated with persistent and intrusive genital arousal sensations, without corresponding sexual desire or thoughts.
- Diagnosis and treatment of PGAD often involve a comprehensive, biopsychosocial approach, with multiple specialists collaborating to address the condition from various angles.
- Education and advocacy are crucial in raising awareness and providing support for individuals experiencing PGAD.
