I've been experiencing constant arousal, It's frustrating. What is wrong with me? (F, 21)

Let me start this off by saying, I do not have sexual thoughts constantly, it is purely my body experiencing arousal with what seems to be little or no cause.

I feel like I have sexual thoughts the normal amount, about a handful of times per day, especially since I am a generally healthy 21 year old female. I have regular satisfying sex with my partner, and even masturbate at least once a week. But I am almost constantly feeling the sensation of arousal, it feels like my genitals are almost always twitching or feeling like they need sexual release.

It is extremely distracting, I just wish it would go away, it has distracted me from my University work more times than I can count, even making me late to classes and appointments if I've just had enough and decide to masturbate to get it to go away.

The problem is when I do achieve sexual release, the arousal usually comes back within a few hours.

I even brought this up with my trauma therapist, as I was diagnosed with PTSD about a year and a half ago. You see, I was consistently molested as a child by a close relative, and I was wondering if maybe that had anything to do with how my body has been feeling. My therapist told me there is no real way to know whether or not that is what is causing it or if it's just an extremely high sex drive.

I just don't know what to do any more, it's so frustrating and gets in the way of my day to day life.

If anyone has any advice, similar experiences, or any information, please let me know.

Thank you so much for reading.
