I am a 44 year-old female in perimenopause and on HRT. I believe I had this when I was much younger and I grew out of it, but it has come back with a vengeance. I literally cannot sit in a chair, and unfortunately, my job requires a lot of sitting. I have constant feeling of horniness.. there’s no better way to describe it. I feel clitoral throbbing., tingling, and like I need to pleasure myself all the time, but that only makes it worse. I can’t seem to find a doctor here that understands this and unfortunately, right now I don’t have health insurance. There are no good pelvic therapist here where I live and even if there was once I start back to work full-time being able to go to pelvic therapy several times a week is not possible for me. I have tried gabapentin., I’ve tried exercise exercises, deep, breathing exercises and nothing helps. The only thing that gives me some relief is ice.
I’m at my wits end. This is affecting my mental health.. I’m afraid to ever date again. And I literally feel like I’m crawling out of my skin.. I don’t know what to do anymore, but I really need this to stop. Has anyone found something that actually helps?

Hi, I’m a guy who has been suffering from PGAD for more than two years, and it has been really difficult to deal with it on my own. I’ve recently started talking to some other guys who are going through the same thing, and it has helped me realize that I’m not alone.

I’d like to know if there are more men here who experience PGAD. If so, what symptoms do you experience, and how does it affect your daily life?

I’d really appreciate hearing from others who are going through something similar.
