Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. J. N. Naidu

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

When you are upset probably you feel the urge for sex. It may not be very abnormal. Many girls have sexual desires when they are upset. Sexual chatting with strangers may end up in problems. Do not feel guilty. There is nothing to regret. I suggest you to follow a few things mentioned below.

  1. Practicing yoga, and brisk walking for 45 minutes daily will release endorphins from the brain and make you confident and happy.
  2. Eat more boiled vegetables and fruits which will provide you with adequate antioxidants.
  3. Drink adequate water about 1.5 liters daily.
  4. I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
