Sex life is the bond between husband and wife. In particular, a harmonious and regular sex life can enhance the relationship between husband and wife and stabilize the family. But did you know that half an hour after sex is the golden period for health preservation? Sexual life is a complex process in which organs and tissues throughout the body are involved. The body will experience a series of symptoms, such as accelerated breathing and heartbeat, dilation of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels, accelerated blood circulation, and increased blood pressure. You need to focus on recovery and maintenance after sex, so that your sex life can continue happily.

What should you do after sex?

1. Observe more

After each sexual intercourse, both men and women should observe each other's faces, expressions and status to detect problems in time. If you feel obvious physical discomfort, you need to seek medical help immediately. Don't delay it out of embarrassment.

2. Lie quietly for 20 to 30 minutes

During sexual life, the blood flow to the muscles and sexual organs will increase. Relatively speaking, the blood flow to the heart and brain will decrease, which can easily cause temporary ischemia and hypoxia of brain cells, thus causing systemic fatigue. After sex, you can lie still for 20 to 30 minutes, which can slowly relax the whole body and mind, and gradually relax the sympathetic nerves, thereby restoring physical strength and energy.

3. Urinating after sex

Women have a special physiological structure. The urethral opening, vaginal opening and anus are adjacent to each other. They need to urinate immediately after sex to flush the urethra and avoid urethra infection. Because squatting when a woman urinates will cause semen to flow out of the vagina, women who are preparing for pregnancy should try to raise their buttocks and lie flat for a few minutes before urinating. But men are different. Some men will have difficulty urinating for several hours after sex. Therefore, you need to urinate before sexual intercourse, and rest for half an hour after sexual intercourse before urinating. This can avoid urinary tract infections caused by sexual intercourse, and at the same time, it can also protect the function of the urethral sphincter and detrusor muscle.

4. Drink a cup of warm water

During sexual intercourse, the organs and tissues of the whole body are involved. In addition, the nerves are overly excited and it is easy to sweat during sexual intercourse. Therefore, it is necessary to replenish water properly after sexual intercourse. You can drink warm water at 30~40℃. When drinking water, drink it slowly and in small sips. During sexual intercourse, the blood vessels of the gastrointestinal tract mucosa will be congested. If you drink water too fast or drink cold water, the blood vessels will suddenly contract, causing gastrointestinal discomfort, such as diarrhea, abdominal bloating, and loss of appetite. If you have sex at night, you can choose dairy products or honey water with sedative properties; after sex in the morning, you can choose drinks containing fructose or potassium ions, which can quickly replenish energy for the body.

5. Pay attention to local cleaning

During sexual intercourse, semen, vaginal secretions, sweat, etc. will adhere to the external genital area. If not cleaned in time, a large number of bacteria will grow and multiply. Therefore, you need to wash the area with warm water after sex to prevent genital infections and reduce the risk of urinary system infections. In addition, you should not take a shower immediately after sex, and rest for at least half an hour before taking a shower, especially for patients with anemia and coronary heart disease. In addition, it is necessary to control the temperature of the bathing water. The bathing water temperature should be about the same as the body temperature. Warm water can promote the return of blood to the pelvic cavity or reproductive organs and reduce the soreness of the body.

Warm reminder

After sex, the pores all over the body open up. If you don't pay attention to keeping your waist and abdomen warm, it can easily cause frequent urination, urgent urination, cold hands and feet, and dysmenorrhea. Therefore, you need to pay attention to keeping your body warm after sex and not be greedy for cold, so as not to cause a series of problems. In addition, men should not fall asleep after sex, so as not to affect their mental state or the relationship between husband and wife on the second day.
