Sexual Arousal Disorders

The changes that take place in the body when we become sexually aroused are referred to as physiological changes. There are subtle changes that we may not notice along with some that are more obvious. These may include: vaginal wetness; vulvar swelling, tingling sensation in the vaginal area, nipple erection or the "goose bump effect", (raised hair on the skin). In some women the problem is that these physiological changes are not taking place and in others the changes may take place but they might not be aware of them. Other women may experience the opposite reaction and are in a constant state of sexual arousal. These women may experience these physiological changes all the time, without relief.

Sexual arousal disorders can become detrimental to a women's sense of self. Conditions may be chronic, or something that has just become noticeable, and is affecting her relationships and day-to-day life. Whether the cause is physiological, medical, psychological, or emotional, there are treatments available that can help.

Sexual Arousal Disorders:

• Female Sexual Arousal Disorder - Lack or absence of physiological changes related to sexual arousal.
• Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS) - A constant feeling of being sexually aroused and the inability to release it.
