When it comes to menstruation, which comes once a month, most women think of depression, back pain, and worries that suddenly appear and catch people off guard. So many people secretly hope in their hearts: It would be great if they could control their menstruation without taking medicine! In fact, it is not difficult to do this.

Have sex at least once a week

Menstruation is worrisome, first of all, because it often occurs irregularly, leaving women with the embarrassment of soiled clothing.

According to a report on the US "Physiology Today" website, sexual medicine expert Dr. Winnifred Cutler discovered that regular sex can regulate menstruation. This is because sexual life allows women to obtain beneficial pheromones from their partners, thereby affecting their own endocrine conditions. The more regular their sexual life is, the more constant the level of androgen secretion in their bodies will be, and the more stable the related physiological reactions, such as the menstrual cycle, will be.

Specifically, having sex once a week can adjust the menstrual cycle to 29.5 days, and this is the best cycle to maintain female fertility and endocrine health.

If the frequency of sex is less than once a week, the effect is not good, and it is even worse than not having sex at all; while a frequency higher than this, as long as it is moderate, is also beneficial to women's physical health.

Use diet to control menstrual pain

The next thing that bothers women is dysmenorrhea. It can make women's hands and feet become cold, cause cold sweats, and even cause vomiting and fainting. Therefore, many women regard cold water and fruits as enemies during menstruation, and take a large amount of warm food.

Many people mistakenly believe that dysmenorrhea is caused by "cold physique and cold uterus". In fact, there are many reasons.

If dysmenorrhea is caused by diseases such as uterine fibroids or endometriosis, such women need to see a doctor promptly. If you take hot supplements blindly, "the faster the supplement is taken, the faster the endometrium will swell."

If dysmenorrhea occurs due to a cold uterus, they are often accompanied by low menstrual flow and delayed menstruation. When menstruation comes, the uterus will contract severely and painfully, making menstruation less smooth. Such women can eat some chocolate and drink ginger soup and brown sugar water during menstruation to relieve discomfort.

If dysmenorrhea is caused by a hot uterus and massive pelvic congestion, a safer way is to eat cooler foods, such as light fruits and vegetables.

If you have irregular menstruation, you should take a pregnancy test in time

Women fear menstruation because they often suffer from non-menstrual bleeding. Women who have had sexual experience should take a pregnancy test promptly whenever they experience irregular menstruation.

In outpatient clinics, vaginal bleeding that occurs when women of childbearing age have miscarriages in early pregnancy are often mistaken for menstrual bleeding; while women of childbearing age occasionally stop menstruating and are often mistaken for delayed menstruation. "If you don't take this phenomenon to heart, the harm will be very serious."

After ruling out the possibility of pregnancy, if the menstrual cycle is still too short, such as once every two weeks, it may make the woman anemic and weak. It is best to take Chinese medicine to help control it; if the menstrual cycle is too long, such as more than 1.5-2 months , or not coming at all, may make women infertile, and they should check whether there is a problem with hormone secretion.

Abnormal bleeding may also be related to sexual activity during menstruation or excessive sexual activity. Having sex during menstruation can easily lead to female genital infections and should be avoided.

Eight benefits of healthy sex

1. Exercise. Research from the Medical College of Pennsylvania believes that sex life is equivalent to jogging. For example, if you have sex three times a week, it is equivalent to jogging 75 kilometers in a year, and the heat energy burned is 7,500 calories. Regular sex life can promote metabolism. Some people say that sex is like exercise in bed. During sex, you unknowingly deepen your breathing, thereby increasing the amount of oxygen obtained in cells and promoting the functions of various organs and tissues in the body. There seems to be some basis for this.

2. Increase hormone secretion. Men secrete a hormone called deoxyandrostenone every day, and men also need to regularly supplement this type of androgen, because only in this way can they maintain male characteristics. During sex, especially before orgasm and ejaculation, the hormone that can be naturally released in the body is 3-5 times higher than usual. Therefore, in the West, many men do not need to take medicine to supplement hormones, but hope that the body can release it naturally so as to have masculine temperament. of hormones. For women, estrogen helps women maintain good blood circulation. Women who have regular sex have much higher estrogen levels than women who have sex occasionally.

3. Protect the prostate. Regular ejaculation by sexually mature men can help clear the accumulation of prostatic fluid in the prostate. Every time you ejaculate, 1/5 is sperm and 4/5 is semen, including a large amount of prostate fluid. If there is no ejaculation for a long time, old prostate fluid will accumulate in the prostate. However, it should be noted that sexual life should not be excessive, because frequent sexual life puts the penis in a state of chronic congestion, leading to prostate hypertrophy or swelling, making it easy to suffer from chronic prostatitis.

4. Effectively reduce the occurrence of heart disease and myocardial infarction. Sexual intercourse can allow the pelvis, limbs, joints, muscles, and spine to move more, promote blood circulation, and enhance heart function and lung capacity. People who have a harmonious sex life have at least 10% less risk of heart disease than people who have a disharmonious sex life. However, there are also reports that some people died suddenly during sexual intercourse due to sudden myocardial infarction. Therefore, if the body has found signs of heart disease, you should avoid being too intense during sexual intercourse.

5. Pain relief: Sexual intercourse (especially during orgasm) can reduce pain, joint pain, low back pain and headaches caused by trauma. The endorphins released during sexual excitement and orgasm can improve the ability to tolerate pain.

6. Reduce stress and protect young minds. Today’s work is stressful, and many people want to reduce stress. Clubbing, fitness, and playing ball are all modern people’s choices for reducing stress. In fact, having sex when people are in a happy mood is the best for both men and women. An effective way to reduce mental stress. However, if you are overworked or under great work pressure, you may not be in the mood to have sex, because this will also consume your energy, so don’t force it even if you have no energy. According to Japanese medical research, appropriate sexual life can help prevent brain aging, promote metabolism, and delay the rate of memory loss.

7. Reduce the occurrence of skin diseases and promote beauty. Poor blood circulation in the skin can lead to skin diseases such as acne and acne. Moderate sex will accelerate blood circulation, balance metabolism, make skin smooth and tender, and prevent and treat skin diseases. The Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland conducted a ten-year follow-up study on 3,500 people (aged 18 to 102 years old) in Europe and the United States and found that 25% of a person's appearance comes from genetics and 75% from behavior, and behavior includes three factors: physical movement, psychology Activities, sex. It can be said that regular sex can make people more beautiful, but the reverse is not necessarily true.

8. Semen helps to remove vaginal bacteria. Experiments have proved that there is an antibacterial substance in semen - seminal cytoplasm, which can kill Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Pneumococcus and other pathogenic bacteria. Although there are ingredients in semen that kill pathogenic bacteria, you should not think that you do not need to go to the hospital for treatment when you are sick. After all, this antiseptic ingredient is very small and is not enough to protect the body from being invaded by pathogenic bacteria. It is misunderstood that frequent sexual intercourse is used as antibiotics.
