A 54-year-old woman presented to a community-based psychiatric clinic with unique problem of persistent genital arousal disorder. All relevant investigations were normal. Treatment with psychotropic medication and psychotherapy did not help. The patient though reported improvement in mood. The patient has been followed up since 2011 and visits the clinic every 3 months without much improvement in the disorder. Hence, this case has become a clinical challenge in terms of treatment.
一名54岁女性前往一家社区精神病诊所,患有持续性性唤起障碍这一独特问题。所有相关检查均正常。使用精神药物和心理治疗均无帮助。不过患者报告情绪有所改善。自2011年以来该患者一直在接受随访,每3个月就诊一次,该病症并无太大改善。因此,就治疗而言,此病例已成为一项临床挑战。
