How does stomach pain affect love?

May impair sexual ability

Stomach pain (mainly stomach ulcers) actually does not directly affect sexual activity. However, if it causes frequent pain, stomach bleeding leading to anemia, malnutrition leading to physical weakness, lack of oxygen in the body's organs, emotional inhibition... it will lead to temporary decline in sexual ability.

When suffering from stomach pain, we have to take medicine. Some stomach pain medications have side effects that affect the body's secretory glands, affecting the vaginal secretory glands, which can cause vaginal dryness in women and make sexual intercourse difficult or painful. The patient feels uncomfortable and can also increase mental pressure for the patient and make the stomach disease worse.

Similarly, when men have stomach pain, taking medication will also affect their desire. If they strain to please their partner, it will damage the genitals and can lead to disorders such as erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders, and even impotence.

Gastric ulcer has a definite impact on sexual ability.

However, because of such limitations, people with stomach diseases do not have to abstain from sexual activity. Depending on the patient's stomach condition, they should decide whether or not to have sex.

First of all, it must be affirmed that patients with stomach pain who still have the need for sexual intercourse and whose health still ensures the ability to have intercourse can still have normal, moderate, reasonable, and gentle sexual activity. Reasonable sexual activity not only does not affect the disease; on the contrary, moderate sexual activity has the effect of regulating emotions and balancing physiology. From this perspective, normal sexual activity is really beneficial for the treatment of gastric ulcers, avoiding being too violent can easily cause fatigue and affect health.

It should be noted that when stomach pain is more severe, sexual intercourse is advised to be moderated or stopped until the disease subsides or is completely cured. If sexual activity is not regulated or is too passionate about sexual activity, it can make the symptoms of ulcers worse or lead to ulcer bleeding. Female patients with gastric ulcers with mild symptoms can get pregnant, give birth and breastfeed normally.

Reasons to limit sex when having stomach pain

Patients with frequent and severe stomach pain may suffer from bleeding, anemia, poor nutrition, weak physical strength, stress and anxiety, which can temporarily impair sexual function, so sexual intercourse should not be forced in this condition.

When the symptoms of gastric ulcer are obvious and tend to get worse, acute gastric ulcer cases, such as stomach perforation, vomiting blood (a large amount) of course cannot have sex. Symptoms of chronic gastric disease such as: people with pyloric obstruction or repeated blackening, still have sexual desire but due to poor physical strength, sexual desire gradually decreases, the number of sexual activities also decreases accordingly.

For patients with repeated gastric bleeding, they should be more careful in sexual activity, should not be reluctant, wait until the illness improves and then resume sexual activity. To avoid consuming too much physical energy, you can consider choosing a sexual position that suits you, to prevent consuming too much physical energy which will hinder the healing process and psychology.

After gastric surgery, the patient needs time to rest and the body can recover to its original state. During this time, it is best not to have sex to avoid strong impact on the surgical wound leading to bleeding or infection, creating conditions for bacteria to invade and make the disease take longer to heal or become more severe.
