See a doc!: There may be a medical cause of your problem that is easily treated, like an underlying infection or a hormonal problem. Your doc can examine you and perform the appropriate tests to figure out the cause. In the meantime, stop all alcohol and drug use, and all nicotine use as these all affect normal functioning and can cause or worsen this problem.
