Lately, I've been experiencing a really annoying tingling sensation in my groin area, more specifically my vagina, and I'm wondering if this could be a symptom of anxiety. I have GAD and OCD, and I noticed that this sensation comes around or becomes stronger when I'm really stressed or anxious. The only way I can describe the sensation is to compare it to the feeling you get when you're horny, except in this situation I'm most definitely not horny. I really hope that this tingling feeling is related to anxiety and not something more serious like Persistent Genital Arousal Syndrome. Does anyone else experience this?
Hey Pauline,
I’ve been experiencing something very similar the last 2 weeks.
I’m male, and have been noticing a tingling/tickling sensation around my groin similar to what I feel before getting an erection. I definitely am not aroused and its usually followed by other parts of my body tingling too. I’ve been going through a particularly tough time with Anxiety the last few months, and I’m expecting this is just another new symptom to add to the list.
The funny thing is it happens randomly throughout the day even when I’m not anxious. Maybe keep an eye out to see if any other symptoms show up at the same time?
