"Dr. Liu, do you really think that people of our age should be... You know, that?" Lao Zhang's face was a little embarrassed and a little serious, and he asked in a low voice in the small waiting room of the community clinic.
Dr. Liu smiled and adjusted his glasses, he had been practicing in this town for many years, and he had long been accustomed to problems like Lao Zhang. "Lao Zhang, there is actually some truth in this matter, but not everyone is suitable. Especially for the elderly in some special circumstances, you still have to be careful. ”
Lao Zhang is a retired postman who has been delivering letters on a bicycle all his life, and although he is retired at home, he still maintains the habit of getting up early to exercise.
His life was uneventful, and until recently he heard a discussion at a friend's party about the need for sex as he got older, which left him both curious and confused. "Oh, Dr. Liu, can you tell us more about which elderly people need to be careful?"
Dr. Lau explained. The first group is the elderly with a history of severe heart disease, and sex is a challenge to the heart, which may lead to an overburden on the heart;
The second group is older people with hormone-related diseases, such as men with prostate disease or women with breast cancer, where changes in sex hormones may have an impact on their condition, and finally, older people with severe osteoporosis also need to be of special care because strenuous activity may increase the risk of fractures.
Lao Zhang felt as if he had been hit by an arrow, and he had a slight history of heart disease, which was a wake-up call for him. "Dr. Liu, can you share some specific cases?"
For example, an old gentleman had serious heart problems after sex because he did not understand his physical condition, and finally had to be sent to the hospital urgently. Another example is an old lady with osteoporosis, who unfortunately fell at home and fractured her hip bone after ignoring the doctor's warning.
He began to realize that while sex is one of the basic human needs, it is even more important to know one's health and take appropriate precautions in old age.
He thanked Dr. Lau for his patient explanation and detailed case analysis, which gave him a more comprehensive understanding. This conversation with Dr. Liu gave Lao Zhang a deeper understanding of health management.
He realized that following unfounded popular beliefs was not necessarily good for his health. Lao Zhang plans to carefully observe his body's reactions at home, adjust his daily activities according to the actual situation, and ensure that every step is to maintain or improve his health.
A week later, on a sunny morning, Lao Zhang was jogging in the park and ran into his old neighbor, Aunt Li. Auntie Li, a retired primary school teacher, chatted about trivial matters in daily life, and Lao Zhang shared with her her recent experience at the community clinic and the health knowledge she had learned.
Aunt Li also expressed great interest after hearing this, and asked a question she had always wanted to know: "So, apart from these elderly people who need attention, are there any positive health benefits of sex life for us ordinary old people?"
Dr. Liu's explanation echoed in Zhang's mind, and he relayed several positive benefits mentioned by the doctor: moderate sex can help improve mental health and reduce stress, enhance the emotional connection between couples, improve quality of life, and even enhance the body's immune function to a certain extent, which has comprehensive health benefits.
Aunt Li listened with relish, and the two chatted while walking, and had more expectations and plans for elderly life. In the process, Lao Zhang and Aunt Li also gradually realized that although aging brings various physical changes and challenges, understanding and adapting to these changes in a scientific way can make their later life richer and more fulfilling.
A few months later, Lao Zhang began to volunteer in the community, preaching health knowledge to other elderly people, especially the correct understanding and precautions about the sex life of old age.
He found that through sharing and education, he can help more people dispel misconceptions and promote the healthy life of middle-aged and elderly people in the community. Through these experiences, Lao Zhang has not only improved his quality of life, but also become a respected health mentor in the community.
Lao Zhang deeply feels that a moderate and safe sex life can indeed bring many positive health benefits to the elderly, but the key is to have proper knowledge and understanding to make informed choices based on the individual's health status.
