Sexual Health
Hypertensive patients should pay attention to these factors during sexual activity or stroke
During sexual activity, people's blood pressure increases, especially during orgasm. The impulse brought by orgasm can cause a great burden on the nervous system and the heart and lungs, which may lead to the rupture of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, leading to dangerous situations such as vascular tearing, stroke, and myocardial infarction.
Hypertension is an incurable chronic disease, and if the condition is not severe, it is not necessary to completely prohibit sexual activity. Hypertension is divided into three levels, with patients in level 1 having sexual activity similar to those in the general population; Level 2 patients should have moderate sexual activity and pay attention to taking medication in their daily lives; For Level 3 patients, it is best to stop sexual activity to avoid affecting cardiovascular function.
The frequency of sexual activity for hypertensive patients should be once every 1-2 weeks, and it is important not to have sexual intercourse after experiencing symptoms, especially when the diastolic blood pressure reaches 120 millimeters of mercury. In sexual activity, once discomfort symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and wheezing occur, sexual intercourse should be stopped in a timely manner. After blood pressure stabilizes or decreases, sexual activity can be carried out appropriately and should not be too intense.
It is best for hypertensive patients to have sexual intercourse in the morning, and during sexual intercourse, they should pay attention to observing the other party's reaction to prevent accidents during sexual intercourse. In situations such as drinking alcohol, overeating, and emotional excitement, one should first pay attention to blood pressure and wait for blood pressure to stabilize before engaging in sexual activity. These factors can temporarily increase blood pressure, so it is important to pay attention.
