Health for All says
As women gradually enter menopause, there are many changes in the body, one of which is menopause. Menopause is an important turning point in a woman's menstrual cycle and a sign of a gradual decline in female fertility. In addition to the impact on physical health and psychological state, the impact of menopause on the life of couples cannot be ignored. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, we will introduce the three major troubles that postmenopausal couples may face in their lives and provide corresponding solutions.
The first major problem: decreased libido.
After menopause, a woman's ovarian function gradually declines, and estrogen levels drop significantly, which can lead to a decrease in female libido. At the same time, with aging, men's libido also decreases to a certain extent. The disharmony of sexual desire between husband and wife can lead to a mismatch in the frequency of sexual life, which in turn affects the relationship between husband and wife. So, how do you fix this?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that in terms of dietary therapy, some foods that nourish the kidney and strengthen yang, such as wolfberry, meat, seafood, etc., can be used to increase libido. In addition, couples can increase each other's attractiveness and sexual desire by strengthening communication, enhancing affection, and building a more harmonious relationship as a couple.
The second major problem: dryness.
After menopause, estrogen levels in a woman's body decrease, resulting in thinning of the walls, weakened elasticity, and decreased secretions, resulting in the problem of dryness. Dryness makes couples life painful and uncomfortable, and even makes sex impossible. So, how to deal with dryness?
Traditional Chinese medicine recommends the use of some nourishing and moisturizing Chinese medicines, such as astragalus, angelica, safflower, etc., to alleviate the condition of dryness. In addition, lubricants or artificial saliva can also be used to increase lubrication and improve the comfort of the couple's life. In addition, maintaining a certain frequency of sexual activity can also stimulate the production of ** secretions and reduce dry symptoms.
The third major problem: unsatisfactory sex life.
In addition to the above-mentioned decline in libido and dryness, postmenopausal women may also have other problems in the sexual life process due to changes in sex hormone levels, such as frigidity and impotence. These problems not only affect women's own sense of **, but also bring trouble to the life of husband and wife. So, how to deal with these problems?
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) advocates the concept of "curing diseases before they occur", believing that prevention and treatment should be done before symptoms appear. Before menopause, women can start to carry out related health care work, such as reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and maintaining a good psychological state, so as to fundamentally reduce the risk of sexual dissatisfaction. If you have problems with unsatisfactory sexual life, you can seek the help of traditional Chinese medicine**, such as acupuncture, Chinese medicine conditioning, etc., to improve these problems.
Through the above introduction, we have learned about the three major troubles that postmenopausal couples may face in their lives, and we have also learned about the corresponding solutions. It is undeniable that postmenopausal couples may be affected to a certain extent, but as long as couples understand, tolerate and support each other, and actively seek effective solutions, they can maintain a happy and harmonious married life.
