Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Persistent genital arousal disorder/genito-pelvic dysesthesia (PGAD/GPD) consists of persistent or recurrent unwanted sensations of genital arousal that may include other types of genito-pelvic dysesthesia, which occur without concomitant sexual interest or thoughts. There are multiple triggering factors for PGAD/GPD.
AIM
To report the case of a 38-year-old woman with low back pain and PGAD/GPD triggered by sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
METHODS
The medical data of the female patient with low back pain and PGAD/GPD were reviewed and analyzed.
RESULTS
Resetting of the subluxated sacroiliac joint resulted in complete remission of the patient's symptoms.
CONCLUSION
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction may be a trigger for PGAD/GPD in some cases. Lack of relevant knowledge among patients and healthcare providers is the biggest challenge of the proper diagnosis and treatment of PGAD/GPD at present. Zhang Y, Su L, Ge H, et al.
