Persistent Genital Arousal Syndrome; A Case Report
The purpose of this case report is to present a case involving the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD). The described patient meets the criteria for PGAD. In this case, organic lesions in the nervous and urogenital systems were excluded, and a psychogenic background of the syndrome was assumed. Due to the patient’s refusal of pharmacological treatment, psychoeducation regarding PGAD and sexuality was provided within the framework of cognitive-behavioral therapy, resulting in a moderate effect.
