What is restless genital syndrome? MedEd
it was recognized that the symptoms were caused by a genital sensory abnormality instead of a sexual desire, and then the name was switched to"persistent genital arousal disorder" . Finally, in 2009,an association with restless leg syndrome was recognized, and the name"restless genital syndrome" was proposed.
Medscape: What clinical symptoms characterize the disorder and how would you recommend that clinicians screen for it?Patients complain of a discomfort in their genital area which can be described as a burning sensation, tingling, pain, itching, or throbbing. Often they say that it is difficult to find a word to describe their symptoms.
Patients with these symptoms would normally seek care from gynecologists, urologists, or family physicians. Doctors need to be aware of this disorder in order to make a correct diagnosis. Some authors have associated RGS symptoms with pudendal nerve or dorsal nerve of the clitoris neuropathy, Tarlov cysts, or genital vasocongestion, which may justify an investigation for those conditions as a differential diagnosis.
