Why does sex cause fainting? Chinese medicine experts give this conclusion

When a couple suddenly turns pale during sexual intercourse, it is called sexual fainting. What is sexual fainting? Why does fainting during sex occur? Let’s see how Chinese medicine analyzes it.

Why does sexual syncope occur?

A normal sex life can not only make the relationship between husband and wife more harmonious, but also promote the physical and mental health of both parties. However, some people may suddenly experience various adverse reactions during sexual intercourse, such as pale face, cold sweat, dizziness, cold limbs, and even fainting. This type of situation is usually called "sexual fainting" in medicine. But why does this happen? Let’s see how Chinese medicine analyzes this situation.

In my country, traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are usually four situations in which sexual syncope may occur:

1. Excessive sexual intercourse leads to exhaustion of essence and energy. Some of these situations are due to congenital deficiencies, or excessive indulgence, or they are caused by a serious illness. At this time, the body's Qi and blood have not yet recovered, and if sexual intercourse is forced, it is easy to cause a large loss of essence and Qi, and a sudden loss of Yang, which can lead to fainting.

2. People with Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity are prone to disorder of Qi and blood. It is usually due to excessive drinking and sex, which causes liver and kidney yin deficiency in the human body, resulting in water not being able to contain wood. At this time, having sex will cause the fire to rise, and qi and blood to become disordered, thus impacting the clear orifices and causing fainting.

3. Emotional depression. At this time, the mind is not at ease and the emotions of both parties are not harmonious. If you force sex under this situation, your Qi will be blocked, which will cause fainting.

4. Deficiency of both heart and spleen. Most of these people suffer from physical weakness, either due to long-term illness or fatigue and worry. Or if there is chronic vomiting of blood, which leads to insufficient blood in the heart and spleen qi of the body, it is easy to faint during sexual intercourse.

Of course, in modern medicine, it is believed that there are some of the following reasons for fainting during sex:

1. During sexual intercourse, people's minds are highly tense, anxious, fearful, and guilty. Under such circumstances, it is easy to cause mental and physical reactions.

2. Some people become extremely excited during sexual intercourse, which causes changes in their emotions. This will reflexively cause changes in vascular contraction and relaxation, changes in intracranial pressure and severe muscle rigidity.

3. Primary disease: For a very small number of people, the disease is caused by primary disease. For example, severe heart rhythm disorders and sudden heart attacks.

How to avoid fainting during sex?

When having sex, pay attention to moderation and be careful not to damage your essence and consume your energy. In most cases, fainting during sex can be completely avoided. But if this happens, don't panic too much. Handle the situation calmly, first lower the patient's head, let him rest and lie still for a while, and he will recover on his own if possible. If the condition is serious at this time, you should be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately.
