As the ancients said, "Regular daily routines, moderate diet, and moderate sexual activity are all important; avoid overexertion." This means that sexual activity should not be too frequent or too infrequent, as both are detrimental to health. So, how should "moderation in sexual activity" be measured, and how many times a week is considered the best healthy lifestyle?
For women, excessive and unrestrained sexual activity can easily introduce external bacteria into the vagina, disrupting the normal balance of vaginal flora, causing pathogenic bacteria to grow and multiply rapidly, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease.
In addition, if intercourse lasts too long, the sexual organs will be in a state of excitement and congestion for a long time, which can cause chronic pelvic congestion in women, resulting in symptoms such as lower back pain or soreness, lower abdominal distension and pain, and fatigue. Over time, this may also lead to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.
On the other hand, too little sexual activity is also not a good thing. Studies have shown that women with irregular or infrequent sexual activity are more likely to develop certain uterine diseases. This is because sexual activity requires a lot of energy, accelerates the body's metabolism, and expels a large amount of waste products. More importantly, sexual activity can accelerate blood circulation to the lower abdominal reproductive organs, thus ensuring uterine hygiene.
Therefore, if sexual activity is not moderate, it can cause poor blood circulation in the uterus, resulting in blood stasis, which may develop into diseases such as uterine fibroids and uterine cysts.
Experts suggest that people who have sex more than twice a week have a stronger immune system and are less susceptible to infections such as the common cold. Furthermore, people who have sex more than three times a week appear at least 10 years younger than those who have sex less than three times a week.
In fact, the optimal number of times per week for sexual activity varies greatly among couples, mainly influenced by the couple's age, occupation, personality, mental and psychological state, and environmental conditions. As long as both partners do not feel tired, feel happy and energetic the day after intercourse, it is acceptable.
Women should refrain from sexual activity in these situations
1. Acute and chronic malformations of the reproductive organs, such as imperforate hymen and thickened hymen, require treatment before sexual intercourse can be carried out smoothly.
2. Severe menstrual disorders: such as heavy bleeding, prolonged menstrual period, and spotting.
3. Acute and chronic inflammation of the reproductive organs: Sexual activity can worsen the condition.
4. Specific infections of the reproductive organs: such as vulvitis caused by fungi or trichomonas, genital tuberculosis, or sexually transmitted diseases.
5. Habitual abortion: Women with habitual abortion should not have sexual intercourse once they become pregnant again.
6. Genital tumors: such as cervical cancer, vulvar cancer and other malignant tumors, which are prone to causing infection and bleeding.
7. Urinary tract infections: such as cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, etc. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during the acute phase and should also be appropriately controlled during the recovery period.
8. Women should avoid sexual intercourse for one month after IUD insertion (or removal) or fallopian tube ligation.
