When Arousal Goes Haywire (with April Patterson)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we're joined by April Patterson, a Physical Therapist who practices in California and specializes in a disorder called PGAD, which stands for Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder.
In today's episode she explains what this disorder is, how it is identified, what symptoms are typically present, and how it is treated.
We loved having this conversation with April as she shared her own personal story, along with how successful treatment greatly impacted her daily life. This episode highly focuses on a specific diagnosis that is often not spoken or clearly identified by physicians because it's uncommon.
We learned so much from her and hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!
