Clinical Conundrum: A 33-Year-Old With Pain Post-Orgasm and a History of Endometriosis.

Clinical Conundrum: A 33-Year-Old With Pain Post-Orgasm and a History of Endometriosis. J Obstet Gynaecol Can. 2020 May;42(5):625-628 Authors: Yong PJ Abstract A 33-year-old with a history of endometriosis presented with pain post-orgasm, accompanied by breakthrough bleeding, nausea, sweatiness, and exhaustion. History and examination suggested a gynaecologic component, likely related to the uterus itself. After several therapeutic trials, a clinical response was obtained with the use of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist, elagolix. The case is discussed with respect to dysorgasmia and post-orgasm illness syndrome. Post-orgasm pain in women has not been well studied, and it is recommended that such periorgasm phenomena be the topic of future research. PMID: 32414477 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
