If persistent sexual arousal is causing distress or affecting your daily life, it’s a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.
Being sexually aroused or “horny” is a normal and natural physical response, however if it’s affecting your daily life or causing distress, it may be helpful to speak with a medical professional. Hormonal imbalances, certain medications, psychological factors and other medical conditions can affect sexual desire. A healthcare provider can help determine if there is an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.
