Generally, it can be relieved after having sex;
2. Environmental factors:
Long-term reading of unhealthy novels, movies, etc., repeated exposure to unhealthy sexual stimulation, leading to hypersexuality and sexual excitement. Reducing reading and watching pictures and videos with sexual stimulation can relieve it;
3. Mental factors:
If the patient has a mental illness such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, mania or schizophrenia, the patient may be over-stimulated, and the brain will release a large amount of dopamine to cause sexual excitement. It is necessary to consult a professional psychologist for psychological intervention treatment;
4. Endocrine factors:
The hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis controls the entire reproductive system. If there is a problem with these systems, it may cause sexual excitement. Patients with mild hyperthyroidism will also have various forms of sexual function and sexual behavior disorders. You can follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as methylthiouracil tablets and methimazole tablets to improve hyperthyroidism and relieve sexual excitement.
