PGAD sufferrers - Things we may have in common

Post by Kendis »

Hi guys, I want to help us pin point possible trigger. While I know that pgad is most often associated with SSRI quitting cold turkey, pudendal nerve problem,tarlow cyst, it is not always the case. So, can you post following info? I will post mine.
Maybe we will figure out what connects us all


Age: 28
Gender: Male
PGAD have for: 2 weeks (since 17th September 2019)
Symptoms: Sudden feelings or "spikes" of being near orgasm while walking sometimes, during bus/car ride (due to vibration), feeling an "itch" to masturbate at the base of penis and slight pain. Upon masturbation I feel "warmth and pain " and kind of swelling between anus and penis somewhere close to bladder/prostate for hours/days and even further urge to masturbate. Endless cycle basically. If I dont masturbate then pain after some time subsides and moves back to base of penis along with an "itch".

Possibly related health problems:
1. Chronic bacterial urethritis - lasting 2 years where no anbitiotics worked. Used 1 autovaccine for 9 months, didnt help, im using another one right now.
I still have it.
2. IBS-D - lasting 1 year, probably related to bad bacteria due to drinking kefir with unpasteurized cows milk. Had countless tests done, nothing was found.
I still have it.
3. Acid reflux - had it for long time. Probably related to IBS-D in some way. Still have it.
3. Internal hemorrhoids - 1st to 2nd grade. Have had them probably since IBS. Still have them.
4. Chronic headaches - had them for decade(s), less likely to be related to it, but still possibility. Still have it.
6. Have history of OCD, anxiety (sometimes sewere,especially in 2016-2017), panic attacks. Still have them.

History of medicine that could be related:
1. Prostakan forte (saw palmetto and nettle) - use since 2016 to 2019,quit week ago. supplement for prostate.
2. Ozzion(pantoprazol) - medicine used for acid reflux,use since march 2019 to almost now (half a year).
3. Sertralline - SSRI antidepressant. Use since autumn 2017 to august 2018. Stopped slowly to avoid withdraval symptoms. Havent had any.
4. Neurol (alprazolam/benzodiazepine) - took along with Sertraline, started autumn 2017-august 2018.
5.Reasec (difenoxylate and atrophin) - used for IBS-D, similiar to Imodium. Used for couple of months, but only from time to time.
6. Duspatalin (mebeverine)- took for 4-5 months (since february to june 2019 approx) due to IBS. It is antispasmodicum.
7. Lexaurin 1,5 mg (bromazepam/benzodiazepine) - took it now due to PGAD symptoms but only for 6 days and only half a pill.

My theory on what triggered PGAD:
1. Delaying pooping despite urge to go days before PGAD started up until day before - despite having IBS I had pretty bad diet few weeks before it started. IBS became worse and I had stronger urges to go. Maybe poop pushed on nerve?
2. UTI/bacteria - had sex with gf 2 days before PGAD started. Had a confirmed UTI (e-coli) since PGAD started. Felt stabbing pain in penis. I never had confirmed bacteria in urine,therefore probably first UTI?
3. Pudendal Nerve damage/entrapment - either due to lipoma that I have or me falling from chair from time to time and landinig on my butt. Or possibly tarlow cyst, but not confirmed and need MRI done.

Mine was due to pudendal nerve entrapment that was triggered by weight-lifting and bad ligaments. PNE surgery took it away but it wasn't an immediate cure - it took months to recover.

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.
