On September 29, 2012, the 10th National (Guangzhou) Cultural Festival series activities, the "Family and Sex" academic forum, and the 16th academic conference of the Guangdong Provincial Sex Society were held in Guangzhou. Experts gave speeches on the forum, discussing menopausal sex and pointing out the five most common sexual misunderstandings in daily life.
Experts and professors introduce that there is a significant difference between female menopause and male menopause, with the most obvious difference reflected in menopausal symptoms. "Most modern women experience early menopause, and female menopausal symptoms are often more pronounced than men
Women should start nurturing from the age of 35
In the past, people often only knew that the emotions during menopause were easily irritable. The professor pointed out that the problem with menopause was not just irritability. A survey shows that women around the age of 50 have the highest divorce rate, which is an important reason for divorce before and after menopause, namely disharmony in sexual life. Due to the decrease in androgen and estrogen secretion during menopause, the quality of sexual life also begins to decline. "Strictly speaking, women's maintenance should start at the age of 35," said the expert professor.
Not only that, menopause is also a high incidence period for various diseases. Clinical research has found that various elderly diseases and cancers are prone to occur during menopause. The expert professor reminds that "menopause is generally 50 years old, and for males it is 64 years old. At this time, special attention should be paid to emotional regulation and the prevention of various diseases
Five misconceptions about menopause and sexuality
1. Menopausal period means loss of sexual function. Menopause represents cessation of reproductive function, but does not represent loss of sexual function. After menopause, women can still have sex. If sexual life is not satisfactory, auxiliary tools such as lubricants can be used to improve the quality of sexual life.
2. During menopause, sexual activity should be reduced. Sexual activity is actually a great whole body exercise. It can help with comprehensive movement of bones, limbs, and joints. There is no need to reduce sexual activity within the body's capacity.
3. The decrease in sexual desire during menopause is mainly due to physical fatigue, which is caused by a decrease in hormone levels in both men and women. This can lead to menopausal syndrome, leading to a decrease in sexual desire.
