Persistent genital arousal disorder/Genito-pelvic dysesthesia in all genders: recommendations from the Fifth International Consultation on Sexual Medicine (ICSM 2024)

Although PGAD/GPD is associated with significant morbidity, it is still underrecognized by healthcare practitioners. It is strongly recommended that individuals of all genders be safely and effectively managed following the process-of-care diagnostic algorithm that systematically examines the 5 regions to localize the dysesthesia trigger(s). The algorithm emphasizes using psychological and medical interventions in parallel throughout the process, with interventions based on the location(s) of the identified trigger(s).
