Background: Patients affected with persistent genital arousal disorder report unprovoked, excessive, and unremitting genital arousal unrelated to sexual desire. Those afflicted experience severe physical and psychological distress with significant feelings of shame, guilt, and frustration. Definitive treatment options for this disorder are limited.
Case: We present the case of a 32-year-old woman, gravida 1 para 1, with persistent genital arousal disorder after treatment of an uncomplicated urinary tract infection while in a military-deployed environment. After numerous treatment modalities failed, she responded to an implanted sacral neuromodulator.
Conclusion: Persistent genital arousal disorder may be the result of upregulated sacral nerve pathways. We report the use of sacral neuromodulation using unique program settings, which may be an effective alternative in the treatment of this distressing disorder.

Article Synopsis
- Autoerotic asphyxial deaths, primarily involving neck compression, are rare but notable, with a study analyzing 72 cases in Australia from 2000 to 2022 to understand their medical and legal implications.
- The demographic findings highlighted a tendency for victims to be Caucasian males under 50, while the study discovered a range of injuries, including both minor and severe, alongside consistent evidence of sexual paraphernalia and isolation in these cases.
- The researchers advocate for better categorization of autoerotic neck compression deaths to differentiate them from suicidal and homicidal cases, emphasizing the need for incorporating new variables in future investigations.
