We easily conclude she. Is a sex addict or a nympho once a woman seems to not go days without sex, seeks sex regularly or not get satisfied with sex, but medical research showed that about 66.7% of women who often experiences sexual excitement may have (PGAD)
What is PGAD? you may ask, Simply defined PGAD. Means PERSISTENT GENITAL AROUSAL DISORDER
this is a situation where one experiences spontaneous,persistent,unwanted and uncontrollable genital arousal in the absence of sexual stimulation or sexual desire, and is typically not relieved by orgasm. Research has shown that a large percentage of people with PGAD also suffers from Tarlow Cyst, this is the reason it is referred to as "women problem "
At the initial stage one with PGAD out of ignorance thinks that having sex is the remedy, so they go on having sex round after round, but this can only leave them feeling sad ,because no matter how much of orgasm one have, the arousal hardly go away.
This unwanted physiological arousal can last for hours or even days at a time, it can occur constantly
It is usually unwelcome, unpleasant and intrusive.
Back in my department at the college of psychology, my course mate told me the story of her experience with PGAD and how it left her feeling ruined, it was public knowledge that she can get down with anybody at any place and time, once her sexual excitement starts,she unconsciously slide her fingers inside her pant, in a full classroom and begin to scratch her private part.
PGAD usually leaves a sufferer experiencing itching, tingling, tightness, pulsing,contraction and also pains in the genital areas. as well as vaginal lubrications,
This causes anxiety and depression, due to the sensitive nature of the condition.
There is no medical cure to PGAD yet, however there are methods to improve the quality of life of people with the condition., this ongoing basis will help in reducing the psychological harm of PGAD,.
