Abstract
Objective: Persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) presents with a constant unwelcome sensation of genital arousal. Moreover, restless genital syndrome (RGS) is one of the restless leg syndrome (RLS) variants.
Case Representation: We aimed to clarify the differences between clinical diagnoses of these two similar conditions. Assessing the circadian pattern of symptoms, the simultaneous presence of RLS and restless bladder syndrome, exacerbation of symptoms with caffeine use, healing with magnesium use, and familial history of RLS helped us with the differentiation between PGAD and RGS.
Conclusion: We propose to rule out the diagnosis of RGS in all patients with PGAD symptoms.

It would be nice if you went into more detail other than a brief mention of the different synptoms.
How to treat each condition would have been appropriate.
This was just a definition of the two, which those of us suffering from this already know.
How about a discussion about treatments rather than promoting your study.
A link to your paper would be helpful.

Please somebody answer this!! I have symptoms of RGS and PGAD! But is it possible to have both? First i had restlessness down there (if you know, you know) and now the unwanted arousal!
