Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
I can understand your condition.
You would be in extreme distress because of your hypersexuality.
You can definitely seek treatment for the same.
Please consult your psychiatrist right away.
The first approach is counselling and behavioural therapy.
If that fails, there are prescription drugs that can help you - anti androgen drugs, growth hormone antagonists, psychiatric drugs that help obsessive sexual behaviour.
Remember that you are not alone.
