The misunderstood pain of persistent genital arousal disorder
Manage episode 375307552 series 2831303
Many of us would think that feelings of arousal would always be welcome! And maybe we would even want more of it.
But for our guests on this episode, persistent genital arousal disorder has made life very difficult.
One woman copes with more than 100 orgasms a day, another searches for peace as her body is stimulated by emotions of all kinds, and another has undergone surgeries and treatments to find relief.
We also hear from one of the world experts on this rare condition on what we know about it, and what can be done to help.
GUESTS:
- Dr. Robert Echenberg: Founder of the Echenberg Institute for Pelvic and Sexual Pain in Bethlehem, PA
- Kathrine Snyder: Author of Shimmering Around the Edges: A Memoir of OCD, Reality, and Finding God in Uncertainty
- Christine Hazel Decker: Author of Stripped: When Dignity Disappears: A Life Bared by PGAD and Transgenderism
- Lior Ofir: Blogs about having PGAD at her blog, My Vagina, My Life
