HI, this all started a year a go when I was horny in bed it was normal and would only happen in bed, however I overthink and research on the internet and it comes up with this, from that day on I think I have it as when I looked it up I started to get the symptoms. All year I have been avoiding it by trying to need the toilet all the time and has worked but was in bed tonight and was masterbating in bed and I after I still felt like I wanted to know, it was werid, have I really got it now, I am really scared, I mean I had to wake up because I am so scared, I honestly don’t know, is it just me thinking about it thats making me feel it or do I have it, I am only 17 and well I don’t know, I am sooo scared. Do I have it or am i just a hypochondric.

You're 17, doing what almost all 17 year olds do. From what I understand, Persistent genital arousal disorder is a dibilitating thing. There would be no minor symptoms. It's something you would absoulutly know if you did have it. :hugs:

True, I have watched videos of people who have it and they have it much worse. Plus I only got the symptoms when I looked it up, I mean maybe the only reason I am getting a feeling down there is because I keep thinking about getting a feeling down there.

That is entirely possible - and actually quite natural! Don't worry about it to the point of anxiety if you can.

It is always a good idea when you are a teen and have questions about your body to talk to someone you can trust - a doctor, public health nurse, counsellor. Not because there is anything wrong with you, but to set your mind at ease and to get good information.
