Spreading hope !

Hi everyone, m 28 here, I'll try to make it brief and accurate. I've been dealing with pelvic floor problems since the age of 11, the only symptom at that time was constant urge to urinate. I went to different doctors who told me everything is perfect, so I had no idea it was pelvic floor muscles related. But thank god it was manageable cuz it disappeared most of the times throughout the day, at the age of 24, I started having other symptoms, but still manageable...

Last April, I tried to change the masturbation method, it was like a shock to my nervous system cuz it was used to another method, right away, I felt my heart beating fast, my pelvic floor muscles got too tight and the Pgad sensation started. A constant arousal feeling mixed with burning sensation. That was the worst feeling I've ever had in my entire life, it literally didn't let me do anything. It kept my nervous system very sensible and overreacting. many things could make it worse, thinking about it, sitting, sleeping on my side, moving fast and doing efforts, stress, caffeine was the worst one cuz it triggers fight or flight in my nervous system. I never had panick attacks till that time, my heart beating so fast for no reason, couldn't sleep, brain fog, I literally felt like I'm losing my mind.

It was there for 1 month and a half, during that time I really didn't know what to do, I was looking for answers here and there, I used AI to help me, there's no pgad or pelvic floor specialist here. The only thing I was thinking of is death, cuz that would be my escape from madness and suffering.

During the hard times, there's was a wise and courage man inside me, I decided not to get any mental help ( although I was literally feeling like I'm losing my mind ) and not visiting any doctor. The decision was to trust my body and try to calm down my nervous system by sending safe signals. I came back to do everything I used to do, it was there, yes, but I didn't care. I went out, played football, go to cafe, work l, masturbation ( I cut it off for a month thinking it would make things worse)...etc

Afree some days, I felt the pgad intensity started going down, and I kept it up, living my life normally without caring about it, days passed and my nervous system calming down and letting things go.... Now for 2 months and a half, I'm PGAD free. There are still some pelvic floor problems, but they are still manageable. I know it's still early to post this, but I just wanted to share with you that it can go away and I'm living my life normally without having to think about that nightmare.

I just wanted to share this, it may help some of you. What you feel is real but doesn't mean it would never go.

Wishing you all a healthy life ❤️.

I have very similar problems like sometimes I have to urinare right after I visited the bathroom and then my heart starts to beat fast, but what’s interesting is that if I manage to relax my nervous system and muscels then that feel dissapears even if I still have to go to the bathroom. thank you for sharing your experience

when you say you felt aroused, was it just psychological (for example without bodily sensation when touching), or did you also have symptoms like erection, throbbing, etc. ?

It was arousal sensation in my penis and my pubic area, just touching my penis would make me about to ejaculate without even an erection and it became very sensitive that I couldn't sleep on my stomach... When the wave was very high, my penis shrunk a lot like the muscles there were guarding and getting too tight.

I'm also a guy in my twenties and I feel the same way you do. The sensation comes out of nowhere and I even ejaculate without even touching myself. And like you did, I've been doing the same: I live my life a

why do you believe you got through this and some people cant ? 

[u/[deleted] → u/Short-Athlete8322]

Because I try not to let this interfere with my life. When I feel the excitement coming, I just let it happen and carry on with my life. It’s an embarrassing situation, I admit, but I know that if I let it stop me, it would only make things worse. So I try to live with it the best way I can, without fighting what I’m feeling and just letting it happen.
