Health for All says
In modern society, with the acceleration of the pace of life and the increase of life pressure, the incidence of sudden sexual death has gradually increased. Sudden sexual death is a sudden cardiac arrest that results in death during sexual activity. It often happens quickly and suddenly, causing great grief and shock to relatives, friends and society. So, why does sudden sexual death occur?What are the laws and factors that we need to understand?Let me, as an experienced old Chinese medicine practitioner, analyze them one by one according to the theory and clinical practice of Chinese medicine.
First, sudden sexual death is closely related to age. Young people are usually in sexually active age groups, while middle-aged and older people are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart belongs to fire, and the fire of young people is more vigorous, which can easily lead to the rise of heart fire, resulting in poor blood circulation and overload of the heart. The middle-aged and elderly people have relatively weak yang qi and weak heart fire, but due to the decay of yang qi, the heart qi is also declining, and the blood flow is insufficient, which is also easy to cause cardiovascular disease. Therefore, people of different ages should be careful when it comes to sex.
Secondly, sudden sexual death is related to the mental state during sexual activity. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that too much or too little lust is not good for physical and mental health. During sex, if you are too emotionally agitated or depressed, it will have an adverse effect on the cardiovascular system, which in turn will lead to an overburden on the heart. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a peaceful state of mind during sex.
In addition, sudden sexual death is also related to physical condition and physical health. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that "congenital deficiency, acquired health", that is to say, the difference in physical constitution is very important to people's health. Some people with congenital weak constitution, such as deficiency of yang qi and lack of qi and blood, are prone to poor blood circulation and overburden on the heart. Therefore, individual differences and physical health play an important role in the occurrence of sudden sexual death.
Finally, sudden sexual death is also related to the frequency and timing of sexual activity. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that moderate sexual life is very beneficial to physical and mental health, but if it is too frequent or too long, it can easily cause overload on the heart, which in turn can induce sudden death. Therefore, when having sex, attention should be paid to controlling the frequency and time appropriately, and not exceeding the range of the individual's tolerance.
For the prevention of sudden sexual death, TCM has given some suggestions. First of all, develop a healthy lifestyle, engage in moderate physical exercise at the right time, and practice TCM conditioning regularly. Second, maintain a steady state of mind, not overly agitated or overly depressed, and maintain a pleasant sex experience. In addition, developing good dietary Xi, eating less spicy and irritating foods, and eating more foods rich in vitamins and minerals is beneficial to heart health. Finally, regular health check-ups should not be neglected to detect and treat latent heart diseases in a timely manner.
In summary, sudden sexual death is a dangerous condition, but we can reduce the possibility of its occurrence by understanding its patterns and factors and taking corresponding preventive measures. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "prevention of illness before it happens", and only by paying attention to physical and mental health in life can the occurrence of sudden death be effectively prevented. Therefore, each of us should attach importance to sexual life and healthy relationships, maintain moderate and enjoyable sexual activities, and follow the principles of TCM health preservation to take responsibility for our own physical health.
