Is it harmful to not have sex for a long time?

Many people are very shy when talking about sex, but in fact it is also a way to stay healthy. Both men and women may experience a window period where they are single for a long time without a romantic partner. Some people even do not plan to get married in their entire life and cannot even solve their own physiological problems. Because of the lack of sexual life for a long time, such practice will definitely cause certain harm to the body. But what are the dangers?

If women do not have sex for a long time or their normal sex life is not satisfied, it will cause great harm to their body, such as dark spots on the face, endocrine disorders, breast atrophy, lobular hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, loss of libido, and even early menopause. It may also cause breast swelling or mastitis.

1. Endocrine disorders cause acne spots

Long-term lack of sexual intercourse will lead to the abnormal secretion of estrogen in women's bodies, which can easily cause endocrine disorders over time. When the human body's endocrine system is out of balance, acne spots will appear on the skin surface.

2. Reduced hormone secretion can cause dysmenorrhea

Women's menstruation is closely related to the secretion of sex hormones. If there is no sexual life for a long time, the secretion of female sex hormones will decrease, which will affect women's menstrual period and make them prone to dysmenorrhea during menstruation. In addition, it may also lead to abnormal conditions such as abnormal menstrual blood volume, irregular menstruation, and prolonged menstruation.

3. Low self-purification ability leads to vaginitis

Due to the special position of the vagina and its structural characteristics, there are a large number of pathogens in the vagina, but the vagina has a certain self-cleaning function and often secretes a kind of mucus that can kill bacteria.

If you do not have sex for a long time, the vagina will not be sufficiently stimulated, which will reduce the secretion of mucus and thus reduce its self-cleaning ability. Bacteria will easily multiply in the vagina, causing vaginitis, and may further cause gynecological inflammations such as pelvic inflammatory disease and cervicitis.

4. Nervous distress can cause irritability and sweating

When women have strong sexual desire, the secretion of female hormones increases. However, due to the lack of sexual life for a long time, the hormones will accumulate in the body. When they accumulate to a certain amount, they will affect the human nervous system and cause symptoms such as irritability, sweating, and insomnia.
