Does the clitoral vibrator affect any nerves connected to the legs?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Vibrator use may cause some infection or inflammation over the genital area, and this can cause pain or tingling sensations. It is unlikely to cause permanent nerve damage as a vibrator is not so strong. If pain persists, consult your specialist doctor, discuss it with them and take the medicines with their consent.

I hope this was helpful.

I understand your concern.

If you have a fever, itching, or burning sensation, it is more likely due to an infection. If it persists, then go for a blood test to rule out infection. NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can be used to lower the pain. Do not use a vibrator or indulge in sexual activity until this subsides; it may take a few days to resolve.

I hope this helps you.

Hi,

I understand your concern.

You can send me your blood test reports and give more details about the tingling sensations, like:

1. Which part of the leg is affected?

2. Which side and what is the intensity?

3. Does it subside, or is it continuous?

4. Blood test like CBC (complete blood count) and blood sugar levels.

The NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) help you in relieving pain over sensitive parts. The tingling sensation will probably disappear once your pain subsides on the sensitive area (clitoris).

I hope this was helpful.

It may be possible that you have some aberrant nerve supply that innervates both the legs and clitoris; in that case, you may have tingling sensations.

However, if the problem persists, I suggest you to consult your specialist doctor, discuss it with them and take the medicines with their consent.

I hope this has helped you.

I understand your concern.

All the old reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) are within normal range. It may be possible that the irritation caused the symptoms. Routine MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is unlikely to show minor nerve damage. It is possible that inflammation leads to tingling sensation and should subside in a few days.

I hope this has helped you.

I understand your concern.

As all your investigations are normal and your tingling sensation has also reduced, you may have psychological factors affecting it, and using the vibrator was just a trigger. Muscle relaxation exercises are helpful in such cases, using low-dose antidepressants. So try to keep yourself busy and exercise regularly.

I hope this helped you out.

I understand your concern.

It is unlikely that vibrators cause permanent nerve damage, and all regular investigations rule out nerve damage. However, persistent genital arousal disorder is like the feeling of being aroused without any desire or stimulus. Taking low-dose antidepressants, SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), or SNRIs (serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) such as Duloxetine or Venlafaxine may help. These are also helpful in persistent genital arousal disorder.

Xanax (Alprazolam) can help with anxiety, and it can be taken as 0.25 mg sos (taken as required) or up to three times a day, but it has abuse potential and is a habit-forming drug on long-term use.

I hope this has helped you.

Hi,

Using vibrators may be a trigger point for the start of your symptoms, but it is unlikely the sole cause for the persistent symptoms after a single use of the vibrator. Some other factors responsible for persistent symptoms include stress or other psychological factors.

SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are better for long-term use compared to Xanax (Alprazolam). Xanax provides immediate relief in anxiety, but it is addictive with long-term use.

I hope this was helpful.

For anxiety, relaxation and exercises will help improve the condition. For restless legs, Xanax may help. As there are no specific causes for restless leg syndrome (RLS), and the most common causes are iron deficiency and vitamin deficiency, so you can try Xanax and Gabapentin (anticonvulsant) or Pregabalin (anticonvulsant and anxiolytic medication). RLS and PGAD (persistent genital arousal disorder) have some common characteristics, and both can occur together.

A trial of SSRI can be considered for treatment. But as stated above, Xanax may help in the short term.

I hope this helps you.

Take care.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

As discussed earlier, RLS and PGAD have some common characteristics, so they may share a common etiology. Gabapentin or SSRI may help, but which is better? We cannot comment on that in advance. Let us see the response from one drug at a time, and if there is no positive response, then try another drug. So try one medication at a time, and you can use Xanax for a short time along with SSRI or Gabapentin.

I hope this has helped you out.
