Spontaneous orgasms can occur without sexual activity, more commonly in women due to friction against the clitoris and vulva. Chronic spontaneous orgasms can be painful and frustrating, and may be a symptom of persistent genital arousal disorder. Relief can be found through various methods, but there is no solid cure. Women should seek medical help if orgasms cause discomfort or prevent normal daily activities.
A spontaneous orgasm is when a person orgasms without participating in sexual activity. It is possible for a man to have a spontaneous orgasm, but it is much more common in women. Some women may experience the condition while participating in common activities such as cycling or horse riding, exercising, or simply wearing tight clothing, because all of these actions can cause friction against the clitoris and vulva. Other people have a medical condition that causes episodes even when nothing stimulates their genitals.
Chronic spontaneous orgasms can be painful, frustrating, and even embarrassing. If a woman has an episode daily or several times a day, she may be suffering from persistent genital arousal disorder. Women who have this condition will experience sensations of arousal in their genitals to the point that the area feels throbbing. Sufferers with a severe form of the condition may masturbate or have sex to ease the sensation, only for it to return within an hour.
Women who experience chronic, spontaneous orgasms may have trouble working and socializing due to the urgent and distracting sensations. There is no known cause of persistent genital arousal disorder. As of 2011, the medical community is still working to learn more about this disorder. Possible causes include hormonal imbalances and nervous system problems.
Relief from the condition can be found through masturbation temporarily, but this is not sufficient for patients with a persistent problem. Some women try to tame the sensation by placing ice packs or heat packs on the genital areas. Others try professional massage sessions for pelvic floor therapy or do yoga and stretching regularly to reduce symptoms. There is no solid cure, so women may need to try a variety of things before finding relief.
A woman who believes she has a problem that is ignored by her ob-gyn or primary care physician should seek help from a physician who specializes in pelvic floor or sexual disorders. A prescription for lidocaine gel or a low-grade antidepressant can help with symptoms. Joining a support group can also be helpful for sufferers of this disorder, which can make people feel isolated.
The condition typically appears out of nowhere in women between the ages of 40 and 50, but there are recorded cases of both younger and older women experiencing spontaneous orgasms as well. If a woman has spontaneous orgasm from time to time, she probably doesn’t have persistent genital arousal disorder and she shouldn’t worry. Women should seek medical help when orgasms start to cause discomfort or prevent them from participating in normal daily activities.
