Sexual intercourse among the elderly is not only a physiological need
It is also an important way to maintain physical and mental health
However, due to changes in physical conditions and the influence of psychological factors
There are some special problems with older people when they have sex
What to do in real life can help the elderly maintain their physical and mental health
What about avoiding unnecessary problems?
First, the turmoil caused by drugs
Uncle Chen, a typical retiree
At 65 years old, he has always been in good health
But lately, he has felt dizzy
My blood pressure was uncomfortable, so I decided to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination
In the blood pressure examination in the hospital
The doctor found that Uncle Chen's blood pressure was a little high
The systolic blood pressure is 140/90 mm Hg
The doctor told Uncle Chen
His high blood pressure may be due to certain diseases or bad lifestyle habits
Further investigations and treatment are required
After careful inquiry by the doctor about his recent life
It was discovered that Uncle Chen had recently started taking an aphrodisiac drug
This can cause his blood pressure to rise
The doctor told Uncle Chen
Medications affect each person differently
Some people may experience adverse reactions
This medicine may cause an increase in blood pressure
But not everyone will be affected
Advise Uncle Chen to stop taking this medicine
And watch to see if his blood pressure returns to normal
If blood pressure is still abnormal
The doctor will advise him to take other measures
Uncle Chen was very worried about his physical condition
He wondered what harm high blood pressure would do to his body
The doctor told him
High blood pressure is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease
It may lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and many other diseases
After understanding the causes and harms of high blood pressure
Uncle Chen is more aware of the importance of preventing high blood pressure
He decided to change his lifestyle
Such as reducing salt intake, increasing exercise, maintaining a good attitude, etc
At the same time, the doctor also prescribed some drugs to him
Such as antihypertensive drugs and lipid-lowering drugs
To help him control blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular disease
So Uncle Chen followed the doctor's advice
Stop taking this medicine.
After a few days, his blood pressure began to gradually return to normal
He was acutely aware
Drugs have an important impact on people's physical health
He decided to take the medication later
Be sure to carefully review the side effects of medications
And strictly follow the doctor's instructions for medication
Second, in addition to the elderly when sharing the same room, what 5 points should be paid attention to?
Many people have a decline in sexual capacity in old age
May face erectile dysfunction
Ejaculatory dysfunction
In order to make yourself more capable
May rely on certain aphrodisiac medications
Although it does perform well after the drug use
But drugs have side effects
If the body is intolerant
If the dosage is wrong, there is also a risk of sudden death
Consult a doctor before using any medication
Do not use medication indiscriminately
So in addition to the problem of medication, what are the 5 points to pay attention to?
1. Pay attention to the number of intercourse: after people reach old age
Sexual function diminishes gradually
But the elderly also need a certain sex life to meet physical and mental needs
But it should be noted
Older people cannot have sex as frequently as younger people
The number of intersessions should be controlled
It is usually enough to have a one-time life a month
In addition, prolonged periods of time in different rooms can have an impact on the physical and mental health of the elderly
Predisposing to sexual anxiety and depression
It is not good for physical and mental health
2. Pay attention to hygiene: when engaging in intercourse
Elderly people should pay attention to hygiene
Wash the vulva and genitalia before and after intercourse
Avoid infection
In addition, the elderly should also avoid the use of substandard hygiene products and lubricants
3. Pay attention to posture: when engaging in intercourse
Older people should choose an appropriate posture
Avoid putting pressure on your abdomen and back
At the same time, the elderly should also pay attention to the stability and comfort of posture
Avoid causing harm to the body
4. Pay attention to breathing: when engaging in intercourse
Older people should pay attention to breathing
At orgasm, breathing should be slow
Avoid shortness of breath and difficulty breathing
At the same time, older people should also avoid breathing excessively hard and holding their breath
So as not to cause harm to the body
5. Pay attention to psychological adjustment: the elderly are susceptible to psychological factors
Therefore, in the life of intercourse, attention should be paid to psychological adjustment
If there are problems such as sexual anxiety and sexual depression
Psychologist help should be sought promptly
In addition, the elderly should also maintain a positive and optimistic attitude
Enhance self-confidence and self-esteem and improve quality of life
Because sex with older adults may affect sexual function and sexual behavior as they age
In the process of sharing a room
Older adults and partners need to cooperate with each other
In order to achieve better intercourse effect
For some older people
They are still able to stay healthy and active
And can continue to enjoy sex
But if they feel unwell or have any health problems
It is best to consult a doctor or professional healthcare provider
for appropriate advice and guidance
epilogue
Sexual intercourse among the elderly is an important issue
It needs our attention and understanding
We should respect everyone's choices and rights
and strive to provide appropriate support and guidance to older adults
to ensure that they can be safe
Enjoy sex healthily
