Vomit And Upset Stomach Before Having Sex. Treatment?
Hello. I have this problem where I always seem to get an upset stomach and vomit before having sex. It is a major turn off for my girlfriend and I need to figure out why this is happening. What is interesting is that as soon as I vomit, it feel like i was not even sick to begin with. It's gotten to the point where it even happens over skype, as we live in different states... I really need some help with this.
This is a reflex that you have developed overtime. Formerly therapists used to do psychoanalysis to search the hidden cause in past (childhood) that triggers this.
There are other methods of psycho sexual therapeutic counseling that may be quicker in action. Postrema, an area on the floor of the fourth ventricle, has chemoreceptors that trigger vomiting reflex. Stress or some 'incidence' via the central nervous system triggers these receptors. This firing of signals on getting sexual arousal leading to nausea and vomiting can be stopped. Postrema being outside the blood brain barrier medicines can also be used (judiciously) to prevent this vomiting.
Self help technique would be to go in the washroom and by inserting finger in mouth induce vomiting. Yog has techniques called 'vastra dhauti'. Learning from Yog teacher also could be beneficial.
You can take the benefit of an expert Psychologist or Sex Therapist.
Best wishes, Dr. Ashok Koparday
