Pulsating - Throbbing - Tingling Vagina
Tuesday August 5, 2003
Women's Health Forum:
Have been experiencing a constant pulsating/throbbing sensation within my vagina - similar to when an arm or limb has fallen asleep. A sort of tingling
for the last two weeks. Sitting/standing/lying down makes no difference. Cannot imagine what this could be. Pored over the net for days without finding a proper explanation. I am 51 - regular periods - hypothyroid sufferer. No menopausal symptons. Had regular batch of menopausal tests done in June. Would appreciate any feedback please! What do you think?

I have the same problem and can’t find out what the problem is. I would love to know what it is also.
Ditto, I have the same problem too, does anyone know what it is ?
I have been having this problem for the last two weeks. I too would like to know what is causing this.
I have been experiencing similar feelings, although to me it almost feels like a 1 second mini orgasm. I always feel it on the left side of the inside of my vaginal wall, about 1/2 inch or so in. I could be sitting, standing, laying down. It is very annoying and I don’t like it. If anyone has any information it would be helpful. I’m 46, perimenopausal, still have regular periods. Does this have something to do with the change? Could it be parasite?
I have the same thing and it started last night at work. I am 32 and have been regular with my period. It is not painful, but annyoing. I have it on the left side as well. Any one find any answers?
I’m 22 and I had it happen to me today. I was eating breakfast, got up, and my vagina felt tingly, it felt like a mini orgasm, lasted about 5-10 sec…I was wondering what it was too
i am only 15. and i have had that feeling too. it feels like when your arm or leg falls alsleep. bt it happens in your vagina area. i dont think age matters. i think it may be a female thing.
I have been trying to figure out the same thing. Although, I do think that mine is a little different. I constantly feel this pulsating feeling in my vagina. I have felt it for a while now, and it can get so annoying, to the point that I cannot sleep!!! I have had enough. I had it before I had sex, and I did think it would stop once I lost my virginity, but it hasn’t. In fact, I think it has become more intense!! It’s like a pulse or heartbeat, that is like…thumping in my vagina. It is a a similiar feeling that I expereice when my husband orgasims inside me. But it continues after!!! And If I don’t have sex, then I notice the feeling as soon as I lie down!!! I have had enough. It is really annoying, and it is affecting my sleep! Please help!!!!
There must be an answer somewhere. I am almost 50 and very healthy and have this same problem. HELP!
It almost feels like you want to have sex- like a mini orgasm that can not be satisfied- tingling- throbbing- has been happening to me for about 2 weeks now - all day all nite.
what is this? does anyone have a clue?
were horny thats wut it is
I have this same exact problem. I have been having it for about 4 days now. Like Gena said, it’s kind of like a mini orgasm - a tingling and throbbing that won’t go away. It is really bothersome and I would love a solution.
Yeah this is totally not cool anymore. I am going to be 32 in july and about a month ago my vagina,stomach and butt checks keep tighting and loosining/twitching/pulsating non-stop for several days then it stoped for a few days and Then I got my period. a few days after I got my period it started again then stoped for a few days. My period usally lasts 4 days and i was bleeding for 2 weeks. Now it has been a couple weeks straight i have been having this. It does feel like you are always about to cum. I am having a little stomach pain from the constant tighting and loosining constantly.
I’ve been having this off and on. I am 23 and it started when I was 18 or 19. Mine happens a few times a year. I really want to know what it is. I am also a Hypothryoidism suffer.
Mine has always happend when I’m sleeping. I’m in my early 20s and can not figure out what is wrong. I really want an answer but I’ve searched and searched and have not found anything yet.
I am 16 years old and i have this too… weird how no one knows what it is… =s
ADD ON:
Also Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroid runs in my family too … odd
Ok I posted in the past and ladys we have PGAD (persistant genital arousal disorder). It was first reconized as an actual medical disorder in 2001. Alot of doctors havent even heard of it yet. ladys there is also a support group for this. they still dont know how you get it or how to stop it. women this is real and we must research and stand up so we can find the cause and the cure. I will keep praying for all of us who have this disorder. KEEP STRONG.
I have the same thing. It’s making me go crazy. I can’t sleep sometimes and it only happens every so times a year. The person I talked to about this said that it’s possible that it may be a UTI.
Two things with all that ive’ read that it could be.. Herpies, or a yeast infection.
Has anyone with this disorder had either or both of these test to rule them out yet?
I’ve been having the same problem for about a week now. First I thought it could be bladder infection or chlamydia, but it feels different. I can’t find anything online that’s even close to my symptoms. It’s really really annoying and uncomfortable. Help me!
I have the same thing and my doctor is testing me for diabetes and testing my thyroid.
He says it is actually very common and that likely it goes misdiagnosed as a yeast infection. The difference between this and a yeast infection is discharge. If you have any, he said likely a yeast infection and you can buy a kit at the drug store.
If you have none, request that your doctor order a blood test for any abnormalities in your glucose (diabetes) and any abnormalities in your thyroid.
I will update when he gives me a diagnosis.
Its really annoying whatever it is!!
I too am experiencing this. Along with this is the LACK of desire for intercourse. I’m 41 but had a hystorectomy at age 22 although I still have overies. I don’t know what to do. This has just started a week ago. Is there anything that can be done to stop it? I also fee a warm sensation but no difference in vaginal discharge or such. Any information would be appreciated.I’m too embarrassed to really talk to a DR. about this…
I am very excited that I am not alone in this very annoying problem!!!! I first thought it was because I changed the brand of pads I use but it has not stopped and it has been 2 weeks.My symptoms are as everyone elses …please write if any of you find something out. I have a call into the doctor & hopefully she will have if not an answer at least an explination.
Hello, I am 31 will be 32 in July and I’ve experienced this throbbing/pulsating feeling about a week after my menstral cycle and toward the end of ovulation. Yes, the sensation last about 2-5 seconds and sometimes has a bubble like feeling but nothing comes out. I’m usually intune with my body and I’ve never experience this feeling before. However, am amazed to know women of different ages are experience this same problem. I have decided to make an appt. to see my gyne. I will be happy to post whatever information I receive. Take care ladies. I will pray about this unknown medical condition and for you all. Be Blessed.
Thi started for me about 3 days ago. At first I couldn’t decide if it felt really great or not. Now I am so over it and want it to go away. For those who have seen their doctors what did they say?
I can’t believe noone yet has an answer for this. i’m editing an erotic, steamy novel now and this - persistant genital arrousal condition is driving me brezerk. I need a cigarette and i don’t even smoke. I wish there was something to do to stop it! It’s interfering with my work!
Maybe we all should determine if stress, a particular drug, foods, herbs or chemical that offset this problem. We might all have a common link to this problem. Havent made it to the doctor yet. We might have to go public to get the problem recognized.
Hi, I left a comment about 3weeks ago. ever since, I visited 2 different clinics, and they diagnosed me w bladder infection and yeast infection, so I thought the throbbing/pulsating feeling was because of those 2 infections. I went back to the clinic the other day, and my doctor said the infections are gone, but guess what, this throbbing/pulsating sensation is still there!!! which means this has nothing to do with those 2 infections I had.
I’ve been having this problem for about a month now. It’s so annoying!
Hi, it’s Lina again. I found this website that might help.

i have the same problem. been going for 2 days.thought it was the horny feeling, had sex,still going 2 days later
I have the same problem , at first I’d think it was me just being horny, then when i have sex i still experienced it! it come and goes almost every day!
is it because of birth control? i just started bcps and got it within the 3rd week
I have had this strange tingling feelin in the vaginal wall for 3months on and off. I recently had an implanon contraceptive implant removed after 3 yrs, and it seems to hav started since then. Iv been havin regular periods since the removal of this implant. Sittin, standin, layin down… its not comfortable, and i dont liken it to an orgasm. I would love to know wat this is, as im gettin quite concerned :S
Thank God I’m not the only one!!!
I’m 19 and I’ve been getting the tingling sensation, it seems to be when I sit down but it’s getting more frequent. I was panicking that it was a symptom of an STD/STI, so the fact that so many more people have it is kinda putting my mind at rest.
It’s annoying, and I’ve started to get lower abdomial pain, like menstural cramps.
Anyone got ANY answers??
Add on: I am on the pill, just to see if there’s a common link seeing as people have made previous references to birth control
Ive been having this problem for 4 days now i even called off work today cause im having headaches now. It feels like im about to orgasm almost all the time small ones. I was on the pill and im not anymore for about 3 or 4 months now and i tested for pregnancy but nothing. I cant stand it my muscles ache in my abdomen and lower muscles. I feel a bit full as well and i noticed i had cramps before this. Ive never felt so horny in my life and i even couldnt let myself or my fiance sleep last night. Today is the worst its gotten to. Someone help me i want to scream.
tingling on the left side of my labia. Annoying bothersome, and do not know what it is… Before menstruation, during, after. Spoke to all types of Doctors, and no answers. Took all kinds of tests, MRI’s Sonograms and still tingling and annoyed.
Can you share your views please?
