Many people now have the habit of sitting for a long time, sitting all day at work and lying all day after work. It seems comfortable, but it is quietly harming personal sexual health. Sitting for a long time is very harmful to both men’s and women’s sexual health, and this harm is often subtle, which many people do not realize.
For women, sitting for a long time will lead to pelvic congestion, affect blood circulation, and easily cause gynecological inflammation such as pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis. At the same time, sitting for a long time will make private parts stuffy and humid, bacteria are easy to breed, increasing the risk of vaginitis. In addition, sitting for a long time will affect qi and blood circulation, leading to insufficient qi and blood, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea and other problems, affecting women’s sexual health.
For men, sitting for a long time will oppress the prostate, leading to prostate congestion and edema, which will cause prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia and other problems over time, with symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, and urination discomfort. At the same time, sitting for a long time will affect lower limb blood circulation, leading to decreased sexual function, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and other problems, seriously affecting men’s sexual health and self-confidence.
Therefore, to protect personal sexual health, we should avoid sitting for a long time. It is recommended to get up and move for 3-5 minutes every hour, stretch, walk around, do some simple stretching exercises, promote blood circulation throughout the body, and relieve the pressure on the pelvic cavity and prostate. Do more aerobic exercises at ordinary times, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, etc., to enhance physical resistance and reduce the harm caused by sitting for a long time.
