His and Her Health

Hi... dont know anyone else to ask about this so here goes. Iam a forty yr old woman. for about a year now I have been getting pressure and pain in my lower belly when I am sexually aroused. My sex drive is real high. Iam married and my husband works away from home for two months at a time, so the discomfort and pain are constant. also my need for sexual release is so bad that I sleep very little and even mastrubation does not help. I have been to my family doctor and an gynocologist. I think they look at me like I am crazy, I feel like I am going to go crazy. Help!!

So when you are sexually aroused and have sex with your husband, does it reduce or eliminate the pain and discomfort? I am just trying to figure out why when you masturbate the discomfort persists.

It doesn't sound like you have PSAS (Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome), but you might want to read about it on the web. Some of what you describe is similar. Perhaps someone else, or the moderator, can recommend specific links.

Though you may not have this syndrome, reading about it might help you contrast it with your condition and allow you to better describe what is going on.

Here is a link to an article on PSAS.
