Here are some benefits of regular sex for women, as told by obstetrician and gynecologist Dr Sonamm Tiwari.
1. Emotional intimacy
Regular sex releases oxytocin - the love hormone, which helps increase emotional closeness, trust and affection for your partner.
2. Cardiovascular health
During sex, heart rate, blood flow and oxygen consumption increase, which can improve cardiovascular health and help reduce the risk of stroke in women.
3. Strengthen the immune system
Sexual arousal stimulates the production of immunoglobulin A (IgA), an antibody that plays an important role in protecting the body against infections. By strengthening the immune system, it helps women fight off certain diseases and infections.
4. Reduce stress
One of the most notable health benefits of regular sexual activity is that it reduces stress and promotes positive mood, helping women feel more relaxed and happy.
5. Pain relief
The release of endorphins during sex not only helps reduce stress, but can also act as a natural pain reliever, helping to relieve headaches and menstrual cramps.
6. Improve sleep quality
Regular sex helps create a feeling of relaxation and improves sleep quality.
7. Strengthen pelvic floor muscles
Regular sex is beneficial in strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, which play an important role in supporting the bladder, uterus, and bowel.
