Introduction
Hypersexuality may be caused by factors such as hormonal fluctuations, psychological factors, medications, bipolar disorder, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Hormones such as testosterone and estrogen have a direct impact on libido. During physiological phases, such as puberty and the ovulation period of the menstrual cycle, elevated hormone levels may trigger hypersexuality. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is recommended.

Generally, hypersexuality may be caused by hormonal fluctuations, psychological factors, medication effects, bipolar disorder, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and other reasons. If discomfort occurs, timely medical consultation is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Hormonal Fluctuations

Hormones such as testosterone and estrogen directly affect libido. During physiological stages such as puberty and ovulation in the menstrual cycle, elevated hormone levels may trigger hypersexuality. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, adequate sleep, and a balanced diet, can help regulate hormone levels.

2. Psychological Factors

When individuals face stress or emotional distress, sexual behavior may become a way to escape reality or seek pleasure, manifesting as hypersexuality. Psychological counseling and support, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, can help individuals manage stress and emotional issues, thereby reducing reliance on sexual behavior.

3. Medication Factors

Medications used to treat depression and schizophrenia, such as fluoxetine hydrochloride capsules, paroxetine hydrochloride tablets, and fluphenazine hydrochloride tablets, may affect the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to hypersexuality. Attention should be paid to lifestyle adjustments, avoiding exposure to sexually stimulating content and environments, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and mindset.

4. Bipolar Disorder

Genetic factors are the primary risk factor for bipolar disorder. Patients may experience extreme excitement and impulsivity during manic episodes, which can include increased libido, as well as rapid speech and impulsive behaviors. It is recommended to follow medical advice regarding the use of medications such as chlorpromazine hydrochloride tablets, lithium carbonate sustained-release tablets, and sertraline hydrochloride tablets.

5. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Causes of PCOS include genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, obesity, and drug stimulation. Patients' ovaries produce excessive androgens, which can increase libido and may be accompanied by symptoms such as acne and weight gain. Patients should follow medical advice for the use of medications such as dydrogesterone tablets, metformin hydrochloride tablets, and drospirenone ethinyl estradiol tablets.

In daily life, maintaining a regular schedule and sufficient sleep helps maintain hormonal balance in the body, thus alleviating symptoms of hypersexuality.

Does long-term separate sleeping arrangements for couples affect sexual function?
Long-term separate sleeping arrangements for couples do not directly cause sexual dysfunction. Sexual function is primarily influenced by physiological and psychological factors, including hormone levels, blood circulation, nerve function, and emotional state. Prolonged separate sleeping may lead to psychological distance between partners, increasing feelings of detachment and potentially affecting sexual desire and function, which can result in sexual indifference or decreased libido.

Can high blood sugar cause erectile dysfunction?
High blood sugar may cause erectile dysfunction. High blood glucose levels can lead to reduced testosterone levels, which is an important hormone for maintaining male libido and erectile function. Decreased testosterone levels directly affect the penis's ability to achieve an erection, resulting in reduced sexual desire and decreased erectile rigidity. At the same time, high blood sugar can impair the normal function of vascular endothelial cells, preventing the corpora cavernosa from filling with blood to achieve an erection.

Is there still a need for sexual activity after menopause?
Sexual intercourse refers to sexual activity. Women may still have sexual needs after menopause. Menopause mainly results from the decline of ovarian function and decreased estrogen levels in women, leading to the cessation of menstruation. Although reduced estrogen may cause some changes in the reproductive organs, such as thinning and dryness of the vaginal mucosa and reduced elasticity, these changes may cause discomfort during sexual activity, such as pain or a burning sensation.

Is strong desire a symptom of yin deficiency or yang deficiency?
Under normal circumstances, strong desire is generally a manifestation of Yin deficiency, and more specifically, kidney Yin deficiency. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yin deficiency is primarily caused by insufficient Yin fluids, which leads to a failure in nourishing the body and restraining Yang, resulting in a series of syndromes. In the case of kidney Yin deficiency, the insufficiency of kidney Yin leads to malnourishment of the body, and Yin's inability to restrain Yang results in internal generation of deficient fire, which in turn stimulates an increase in sexual desire.
