Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am stressed because of not getting real sex due to my past experiences and depression. I have OCD and am getting treatment for the same. I avoid having paid sex and am addicted to smoking and feel depressed due to not having a partner or discussing sex with any of the girls I met with. I do not have muscular power in my hands and feel drowsy all the time. I am under chronic stress and smoking addiction. I also have bad breath and mouth problems. I have been under psychiatric treatment for several years and am taking Clonirest MD 0.5 mg, Arimip 25 mg, and Fluxovin CR 50 mg. I have got my head CT scan. Kindly suggest.

Thank you.

Hi there

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand your concern. I suggest you change your lifestyle, it will help you to develop a great personality and then you can marry someone. Firstly, quit smoking because smoking itself can make you look dull and weak. Start doing workouts such as going to the gym. Take a high protein diet such as milk, eggs (if you eat), dal, paneer, green vegetables, and fruits. Drink plenty of fluids. All these things will make you naturally strong and you will feel self-confident. Outside sex is not safe so I would suggest to avoid only because you might get sexually transmitted infections so avoid such unsafe sex. I would like to know when you are facing these problems. I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

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