A while ago, a reader asked me a question, and I personally think this question is very meaningful, so I will share it with you here.
The reader is 42 years old this year, and she never imagined that since a year ago, her desire has become stronger and stronger. At first, her husband was quite happy, but slowly, he began to resist, and sometimes even explicitly refused.
Her husband said that she wasn't like this before, and that the older she got, the more wrong she became. After listening to her husband's words, she also fell into self-doubt, and always felt that it was abnormal for her needs to become bigger.
Why do women become more lustful when they reach middle age?
As the saying goes, women are as good as wolves and forty are like tigers, which means that after women reach middle age, their needs will be greatly enhanced, is there really any basis for this statement?
In fact, the physiological factors that affect women's needs mainly include estrogen, progesterone, and androgens. From the age of 10-15 years, the body will regularly secrete estrogen and progesterone, plus a certain amount of androgen.
When androgen secretion increases, women may emit hormonal signals due to physiological instincts, and the satisfaction and happiness of their partner will increase. The effect of progesterone is to make the cervical secretion thicker and increase the chance of pregnancy. The role of androgens is to synthesize estrogen as a precursor to increase desire and impulsivity.
In fact, the physiological changes of men and women will show different trends in terms of sexual desire, generally at the age of 20-30, the male testicles and the female ovaries will reach a mature state, so the desire is also the most vigorous period.
But after the age of 40, the level of androgens in a woman's body will drop significantly, even half of what it was when she was 20, so strictly speaking, the demand is lower after middle age.
So why do people always say that "thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger"? In fact, this is related to the fact that men's sexual function continues to decline as they age, and in this contrast, people often easily form the illusion that women have stronger needs in middle age.
A sudden increase in demand could be a sign of these diseases!
Although most of the time, it is normal for women to become stronger in middle age, but sometimes it may also be a sign of some diseases, we must pay attention to it!
(1) Neurological diseases
In the presence of neurological disorders, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy, it can lead to brain dysfunction, weakened central nervous system inhibition, and inexplicable feelings of excitement in the patient, thus increasing the demand.
(2) Ko
In the case of hyperthyroidism, especially mild hyperthyroidism, about 10-20% of patients will have hyperdesire. This hyperlibido is generally associated with endocrine disruptions, which lead to elevated hormone levels.
(3) Malignant tumors
Sometimes, the sudden increase in desire may also be a signal from some malignant tumors, such as tumors in the brain, testicles, and adrenal cortex, which may disrupt the body's endocrine balance, causing an increase in androgen concentration in the body, which in turn causes an increase in desire. It is important to note that this generally refers to men.
(4) Manic madness
Desire is also affected by endocrine and mental factors, some menopausal women are prone to manic symptoms, mental disorders often cause a decrease in sexual excitement and inhibition, which makes the desire enhanced.
Finally, give some health advice to middle-aged female friends.
First of all, it is necessary to do a good job of regular cervical examination, because cervical cancer, as the malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate in mainland women, has a high incidence and mortality, so after the age of 35, it is necessary to do regular cervical TCT and HPV examinations.
Also, avoid age anxiety. Age is really not a disadvantage, it can even be said to be an advantage. Older women are more experienced in life and society, more self-aware and accepting, and more aware of what they want. So, don't have age anxiety and don't be bound by age.
