According to a survey, about 30% of women aged 18-59 in the United States have chronically low sexual desire; 27% of adult women under 40 are unable to achieve orgasm, and 13%-15% have pain during intercourse. This condition is very common among women all over the world, and most people attribute it to the heavy burden of work, children, and housework. However, the American "FITNESS" magazine recently pointed out that this is related to five daily habits of women.

Habit 1: Taking birth control pills

Oral contraceptive pills are one of the most commonly used contraceptive methods for women. They are highly efficient and easy to use. However, as a sex hormone drug, it breaks the body's normal hormone balance and affects the secretion of male and female hormones, which will reduce the secretion of vaginal lubricant and cause discomfort or pain due to dryness during sexual intercourse. Experts suggest that if you have these symptoms, you can consult a doctor and try a different brand of birth control pills, or use other contraceptive methods, such as condoms.

Habit 2: Mysophobia

Because of their excessive love of cleanliness, many women like to use scented sanitary napkins during menstruation, or use excessive vaginal cleansers to clean their vaginas, which will damage the vagina. The natural acid-base environment in the vagina can cause vaginal discomfort and increase the possibility of fungal infection. These symptoms will directly affect the quality of sexual life. In fact, the vagina has a self-cleaning function. It is enough to rinse it with hot water or choose unscented soap.

Habit 3: Excessive exercise

Persistent physical exercise is not only beneficial to physical health and disease prevention, but also improves sexual arousal and enhances the pleasure of orgasm. However, everything has a degree. An excessively intensive exercise program can leave a person exhausted and unable to engage in sexual intercourse. When excessive exercise reduces the body fat content to less than 15%, the estrogen that controls sexual passion will be secreted, making it difficult for women to bring up their "sexual interest." Therefore, when you want to improve the quality of your sexual life through physical exercise, you must control the scale.

Habit 4: Smoking

The nicotine in tobacco causes arteries to constrict, reducing blood flow to the vagina. Reproductive organs become insensitive due to reduced blood flow, causing difficulties in sexual arousal and reaching orgasm. Experts point out that the only way to solve this problem is to quit smoking.

Habit 5: Taking certain drugs

The ingredients in anti-allergic drugs that inhibit gland secretion will reduce the natural vaginal lubricating fluid and cause sexual intercourse pain; high blood pressure and antidepressant drugs can cause The muscles and tissues around the reproductive organs are too relaxed, making it difficult for women to achieve orgasm. Experts recommend that you consider using artificial vaginal lubricants while taking the medication.
