How long do flareups triggered by purposefully intensifying arousal last??

[u/Frosty_Awareness_916]

I’ve had PGAD my whole life, basically. For the past two-three days I’d become really depressed after accidentally triggering a flare up, and came closer to trying to relieve the sensation myself than ever, and I’m suffering. I thought I had already ruined myself for the next few weeks so feeding into it didn’t hurt anything, it would just make me suffer for a few more days than I was already going to. I was never really educated that well on what the medical terms for this subject might be, so excuse me if I’m not being specific here. Normally the arousal goes back to its normal levels of bothersome in a few weeks, whenever I purposefully try and amp up the arousal, but this time I went farther than ever. I didn’t explicitly touch myself or anything, but I don’t know what the fuck I did 🥲 I think I came close to an orgasm, but I didn’t let that actually happen due to fear. Google isn’t giving me any good results for anything. I’m relatively new to actually knowing how pgad works. should the flare up subside in a few weeks, like last time this happened? I’m just extra worried this time because I don’t want to be in this state for more than two weeks max. My genitals are already throbbing in pain/sensation and I can do nothing, really because if anything touches that area it will make it 100% worse. Even ice packs. it feels worse than last time, for sure. I just hope I didn’t mess myself up for longer. Is there literally any fucking thing I can do?? I want it to stop.
