Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder in 18 Dutch Women: Part II-A Syndrome Clustered with Restless Legs and Overactive Bladder

PGAD seems to belong to a highly associated disease cluster including morbidities, which share an imperative urge to suppress dysesthesias and paresthesias by firm manipulative actions. PGAD-or as proposed by our group, restless genital syndrome (RGS) in the context of its strong association with restless legs-is probably the expression of a nonsexually driven hyperexcitability of the genitals and subsequent attempts to overcome it by genital manipulations.
