Understanding compulsive sexual behaviour
The goal is to understand distress and impact, without judgement or stigma.
Symptoms and causes vary from person to person. A comprehensive consultation helps assess relevant medical, psychological and social factors. This information is educational and is not a diagnosis.

What to know about sexual behaviour concerns
Repeated sexual behaviours can warrant help when they feel difficult to control and cause significant distress or harm. Frequency alone does not define a disorder.
What may happen in a clinical assessment?
Assessment focuses on control, consequences, emotional factors and other mental health concerns without judgement.
What care options might be discussed?
Support can include structured psychological treatment and care for coexisting conditions.
Patients in Kurnool and nearby areas can review the clinic location and request an in-person appointment. Online consultations may be considered for eligible patients in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and elsewhere in India, subject to the clinician's assessment and applicable rules.
