How Can OCD With Random Thoughts Be Treated?

Right. this will make me sound crazy i know but i went to the doctors twice in the space of a week concerned about testicular cancer. I appear to have OCD though i never mention this to anyone really. So yesterday i went to the DR about my testes. he said he would not need to check them because he only checked them 7 days ago, i understand this. so i check today just to familarise myself and even though i know everything down there is normal, my head says otherwise. what is the best way for me to resist the thoughts like this that go into my head.

hi

I understand your concern.


If you have anxiety about being ill or all tests came normal and you have repeated urge to seek medical help then it probably hypochondriasis.

hypochondriasis is health related anxiety and seeking behavior.

It need to be evaluated in details.

Need to consult psychiatrist and give him brief history.

It can be treated with SSRI and Anxiolyitc medicines.

But before that proper consultation is must.

I hope i have answered your query.

Feel free to ask.

Thank you.
