Doctors cure woman's unwelcome orgasms

LONDON (Reuters) - British doctors said Friday they had successfully treated a 44-year-old woman who was prone to repeated and uncontrollable orgasms that were "neither pleasurable nor satisfying" and often came on at the wheel of a car.

"She would suddenly become aware of an internal, ascending feeling indistinguishable from an orgasm," the doctors wrote in the Lancet medical journal.

She reported no other symptoms but suffered from the uncontrollable orgasms every two weeks over a period of three years.

"Sexual seizures are rare and, owing to their nature, may (be presented) to physicians late," wrote Dr Robert Will and Dr Paul Reading of Edinburgh's Western General Hospital.

"They had no definite triggers and were neither particularly pleasurable nor satisfying because they were out of her control."

The attacks came on while the woman was engaged in such innocuous pastimes as listening to the radio or driving. On several occasions she had to stop the car to calm down.

The patient put her condition down to migraines and delayed seeking medical help until one seizure left her unconscious.

The doctors said the condition was linked to a severe headache that had occurred two years before. A brain scan revealed an abnormality in the right side of the woman's brain, and she was given a drug used for epilepsy.
