vibrations

Glad I am not alone. It is odd I also thought it was my cell phone. Healthy / fit 39 year old, not using birth control have been getting vibrations for the past two weeks. The only difference is I am sitting / driving more than I used to. My vibrations are at the top of my skin. It actually feels more on the outside than inside of my skin.

It's a miracle

I'm astonished, this has been happening for 4 days now everytime I exhale and I was starting to get worried until I found this forum.
After reading all the posts IT STOPPED. I think I was making it worse by getting stressed out by it. As soon as I started to relax, knowing I wasn't alone and that a DR didn't think too much of it, it stopped.

Hi everyone,
I also thought I was crazy until I found this blog. I do believe that stress is an underlying factor. I have also been sitting a lot due to work and I feel this may have something to do with it. Either way, I think I found a solution. After experiencing the buzzing/twitching sensation for over a week, I thought I would go crazy. So I scheduled a MASSAGE in order to see if that might relieve my symptoms. I am happy to say that since the massage, I have had no twitching. In fact, the massage therapist worked on my lower back and buttocks and said I was incredibly tight...something about my sciatic nerve. So, if in fact it was a pinched or irritated nerve...it could be the sciatic giving some problems. I hope this helps and again...this is just my experience. Good luck

I haven't read all of the posts, but wanted to share my "vibrating" story.
The vibration I feel isn't a buzz, it's more like the muscles in my lower abdomen (right over where my cervix would be I suppose, cuz it's right above the pubic bone) are twitching on the inside. I always figured it's the whole "muscle spasming/over-firing" thing...

Not just female problem

Hi ladies,

I don't want to creep you out. I am a 39 year old - happily married - man. I just thought I would let you know that this isn't just a female problem. There are many men, including myself, who have felt the "phantom cell phone" syndrome in their penis and anus areas. I found this thread accidentally looking for answers, but you can read the horror stories from the other sets of chromosomes


Two common suspects mentioned for guys are enlarged or inflamed prostate or some type of pinched nerve. Given that many females seem to have the same thing, I wonder if the prostate theory is less credible.

Anyway, I hope I didn't creep anyone out - just thought I might help you all to know ...

Ok, the link was removed - I guess external links aren't allowed. But you can search for the symptoms and find many stories similar the ones related here. Just substitute the male genitalia terms for the female.

I'm not going nuts!

Thanks, ladies, it helps to know I'm not alone. I can't even describe it properly to look it up anywhere. I hope we can figure it out soon because it is keeping me from sleeping and I can't go on like this much longer!

Vibrating vagina

I just typed in vibrating vagina (thinking that I would not find a darn thing!) and have got this site. So, I am not the only one! It has been happening for a couple of days now. First days was on and off every 30 seconds or so and then second day almost constant. It is only on one side, right near where my vagina meets my leg. I am 38, married, have one child, not using any pills (only condoms) but my period is now a week late - although it is never actually on time ever! Hopefully I am not pregnant though. I think it maybe a nerve ending...well that's what it feels like to me or soem kind of blood flow issue...

My two cents

I have had the same problem going on four days now. At first it was almost all day long, now I hardly notice it. Here's what I have tried that might be working: Yesterday it was a cool morning so I turned on my heated seat in the car. I didn't buzz all the way to work. If it's a muscle issue, heat might help. I'm going to try sitting on a heating pad at my computer and see what happens. I was in a car accident a month ago and have been taking more prescription medication than normal, but I don't think this is the cause. I did take a muscle relaxant the other night to see if the buzzing would stop but it didn't.

I've also tried to "work out" those muscles with Kegal exercises. These are the muscles that stop the flow of urine when you are doing your business. Contracting and releasing those muscles throughout the day might also be helping.

I'm pretty sure after reading these threads that it's not related to age, sexual activity, birth control, number of children or stress. If it was stress related, I think other parts of my body would be twitching. Besides, I have been stressed for years and this is my first buzzing experience. Now that I think about it, my buzzing would have been off the charts during my divorce if it were stress related!
I tend to think also that a lower back massage might help, I plan to try that this weekend.
I sit at work almost all day and most of my pants fit fairly tight. I notice the buzzing the most when I am sitting and find myself adjusting my pants frequently. Maybe tight pants aggravate the little fella, not sure yet. I was thinking that constant sitting was the cause until I read the thread from the nurse who thought the cause was from being on her feet all day. I don't feel like it's a serious enough issue to worry about, it's just dang annoying!

My stats are 39 yrs old, no children, on the pill for the last few years, do not clip a cell phone against my body, occasional sex (I'm married, you know how that goes) and in good health. It is troubling to read that some women have had this for months...I'm not interested in entertaining this thing much longer .
I feel for the women who can't sleep at night. A few nights it has kept me awake pretty late simply driving me crazy! I plan to take low dose sleeping pills if it continues, but in the meantime I hope I have written something helpful.
Good luck ladies (and some random men out there)!
