Persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD; Leiblum & Nathan, 2001 ) is characterized by distressing symptoms suggestive of genital arousal in the absence of subjective feelings of arousal. Although awareness of PGAD is growing, there continues to be a lack of systematic research on it. This study characterized an online sample of women with symptoms of persistent genital arousal (PGA) in terms of their symptom characteristics, medical comorbidities, symptom triggers, management strategies, and predictors of distress. Women reported diverse PGA symptoms, with almost half reporting painful symptoms, and most reported very high distress and negative emotions. Further research and awareness of PGA are needed to provide effective care for this population.
持续性生殖器觉醒障碍（PGAD；Leiblum 和 Nathan，2001）的特征是在没有主观觉醒感觉的情况下出现令人痛苦的生殖器觉醒症状。尽管对 PGAD 的认识不断提高，但对其仍缺乏系统的研究。本研究通过在线调查的方式对患有持续性生殖器觉醒障碍（PGA）的女性样本进行了症状特征、医学合并症、症状触发因素、管理策略以及发病因素的分析。这些女性报告了不同的 PGA 症状，几乎有一半的人报告了疼痛症状，而且大多数人报告了非常高的痛苦和负面情绪。进一步的研究和对 PGA 的认识对于为这一人群提供有效的治疗是必要的。
