Being permanently sexually aroused? The idea may sound like a joke. However, permanent genital arousal syndrome remains a very difficult reality for patients.  It is a « shameful » condition. The syndrome consists of seven symptoms, including: unwanted or embarrassing sensations of genital arousal in the absence of desire or fantasy, unwanted or embarrassing spontaneous orgasms in the absence of desire or fantasy, restless lower limb symptoms, overactive bladder symptoms, worsening of genital arousal symptoms in a sitting position...

Or it may be favoured by pelvic varicose veins or the regular use of certain medications. The treatment can be based on psychotherapy or medication.
