Can anxiety cause tingling in the groin area, like being aroused?

Recommended Posts

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?

I really hope that tingling is an anxiety symptom or I have problems. I think I’ve had just about every body part tingle at some point. It’s weird because I have felt that tingle in the groin and it seems to be one sided sometimes so of course then my anxiety makes my whole side tingle and I assume it’s a stroke (which I know it isn’t but I always have to remind myself) 

My scalp was the first thing I noticed tingle  probably 15 years ago, sometimes it’s my legs and groin usually I notice all these things when I am laying down. I hope my symptoms at least make you feel not alone!
