@aashi Hi, I have been experiencing pain in my genital area and muscle spasm also. How should I tell my mom about this? Should we visit a doctor?

@ishika Pain in the genitals is one of the symptoms of PGAD. Tell your mom about this condition and do visit a doctor. If you believe you have PGAD, talk with your doctor about your symptoms. To make sure that your symptoms are a result of PGAD and not another condition, your doctor may want you to see a therapist or psychologist for a psychological assessment and testing, Get a full physical examination, Get a physical examination of your genital area. Treatment like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can also help. CBT will help you to learn to articulate and control your negative emotions and reactions. It can often help you address situations that may exacerbate the symptoms of PGAD. Talking to a therapist might help you discover emotional triggers that could be causing PGAD. Meditation can also help reduce symptoms by reducing your anxiety and relaxing your muscles.
