Male hormones are not unique to men. All women's ovaries produce androgens while producing estrogen. Today's sexologists recognize that androgens play a major role in maintaining sexual desire in both men and women. 8 must-reads for healthy sex 1. Use vaginal lubricants properly. If your only problem is vaginal dryness, use vaginal lubricants, which can prevent the adverse consequences of sexual intercourse on the fragile vaginal wall. Choose preparations that do not contain vegetable oils, are water-soluble, and are colorless, odorless, and non-toxic and are specifically designed for vaginal lubrication. Never use oils that do not have this special function, such as vaseline, cocoa butter, and children's moisturizer. Not only can these substances dry out and form lumps, they can also increase vaginal discomfort and block the body's natural secretions. 2. Have regular gynecological examinations to check the condition of your vagina and other sexual organs, regardless of whether you feel that menopause is coming or whether you have menopausal symptoms. If you start to feel uncomfortable during sex, you should see a gynecologist and discuss with your doctor what to do. 3. Do Kegel exercises to strengthen your sex muscles. In order to strengthen your pelvic muscles and increase vaginal tension, you can do Kegel exercises. The pelvic muscles are actually the muscles used when you hold your urine, and exercising these muscles can prevent vaginal relaxation and increase sexual pleasure. How to do it: Do the urine holding action. Of course, it is better if you can feel the vagina contracting at this time. First, let these muscles contract for 10 seconds, then relax, and repeat this cycle of contraction-relaxation-contraction-relaxation... Do this more than 25 times each time, and 2 to 3 times a day. 4. Physical exercise Some large-scale surveys of both men and women have found that regular participation in sports and exercise can enhance sexual desire. If this is true, then the reason may be that physical exercise and activity can increase the tension of the whole body, store energy, and reduce adverse psychological reactions such as stress and depression. 5. Use of contraceptive pills Oral contraceptive pills also have a certain effect on certain sexual problems of middle-aged women. Low-dose oral contraceptives are used not only to prevent pregnancy, but also to keep your uterus in good condition. At the same time, they can correct menstrual disorders and restore regularity, and can suppress early symptoms of menopause. 6. Taking vitamins Science has not confirmed whether vitamins can enhance sexual desire, but vitamin E may be beneficial in this regard, and similar situations also exist for B vitamins. In any case, every healthy meal we eat usually contains essential nutrients for the human body and will not harm anyone. 7. Warm water sitz bath can improve local blood circulation and relieve vaginal itching, burning pain and discomfort 8. Using vaginal moisturizers can also appropriately alleviate the discomfort caused by vaginal dryness. Some menopausal women begin to suffer from vaginal dryness due to insufficient estrogen. At this time, using vaginal moisturizers can have a good effect. It is worth noting that antihistamines, nasal drops for nasal congestion, atropine, certain cardiovascular drugs, diuretics and stimulants can aggravate vaginal dryness, and some may even affect sexual desire, so they should be used with caution. |
