Sex life has always been indispensable for a harmonious life of husband and wife. However, if the sex posture is inappropriate, too frequent, or the movements are too large, it can not only cause low back pain, but also cause lumbar disc herniation, especially if there is a lumbar disc. People with a history of herniation are more likely to be induced. What's going on? What should I eat if I have excessive sexual intercourse?

Be careful of your waist when having sex too much

Sex life can make you feel relaxed and happy mentally and physically. As long as the time is not too long and the posture is correct, it will not have any adverse effects on the lumbar spine.

However, if the sex posture is inappropriate, too frequent, or the movements are too large, it can not only cause low back pain, but also lead to lumbar disc herniation, especially for people with a history of lumbar disc herniation.

Lumbar disc herniation is one of the more common waist diseases in clinical practice. It is a common and frequently-occurring disease in orthopedics and traumatology. The intervertebral disc exists between the vertebral bodies of the lumbar vertebrae. It is a component of the lumbar vertebrae joints and plays a role in supporting, connecting and buffering the lumbar vertebrae. Its shape is like a flattened abacus bead, and is composed of the nucleus pulposus and cartilage. It consists of three parts: plate and annulus fibrosus. When the annulus fibrosus is kyphotic or broken due to trauma, degeneration, etc., and the nucleus pulposus prolapses, it is called lumbar disc herniation. Because the spinal cord passes behind the intervertebral disc, when the herniated disc compresses the spinal nerve or cauda equina nerve, causing low back and leg pain, incontinence of urine and feces, or even paralysis, it is called lumbar disc herniation.

Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that indulgence in sexual intercourse can damage the kidneys and excessive sexual life can cause kidney deficiency. The waist is the home of the kidneys. Kidney deficiency will manifest as soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, and in severe cases, low back pain. Modern medicine believes that the main component of semen is a small amount of protein, and more sexual intercourse will have little impact on the body.

That's not the case. From the analysis of the physiological reaction process of sexual life, most organs of the body are involved in the whole process during sexual life. Although the specific mechanism is not yet clear, the excitement and inhibition of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves in the waist, the accumulation and dissipation of blood, the contraction and contraction of muscles Diastole has a great impact on the lumbar tissue. If this effect occurs frequently, it can cause the blood circulation of the lumbar muscles to slow down, the water content of the lumbar intervertebral discs to decrease, resulting in waist soreness and cold sensitivity, and then lumbar muscle strain and intervertebral disc thinning. Leaving hidden risks for lumbar disc herniation.

Therefore, patients with a history of chronic low back pain or lumbar disc herniation should choose appropriate sexual intercourse positions according to their physical condition, avoid some postures that overstrain the waist, and appropriately arrange the number of sexual intercourse times. Both parties should be considerate of each other. When one party is unwell, they can use body care instead.
