Abstract: The persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) is a condition in which intense abnormal sensations and pain appear in the genital area without sexual stimulation. Here, we report two cases of PGAD successfully treated with tokishigyakukagoshuyushokyoto. Since dysfunction of nerves and blood vessels is thought to be involved in the cause of PGAD, we believed that tokishigyakukagoshuyushokyoto, which improves ischemia of the pelvic cavity organs, would be a good indication for this treatment. Tokishigyakukagoshuyushokyoto should be considered especially when tenderness in the inguinal region is observed.
