A member asked:

Can overstimulation of clitoris (from vibration) cause pgad? im very afraid i may have this disease

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Very unlikely : Persistent genital arousal disorder is a very rare disorder. Only a few documented cases have been discovered. Masturbation would not cause it.
