What are the sexual life precautions for diabetes patients? Sex life may be a headache for diabetes patients, but what should we pay attention to when we have sex as diabetes patients? Let's talk about the precautions of diabetes patients' sexual life. Be careful!
Four key points for diabetes patients to have good sex
1. Avoid psychological tension:
Don't be too nervous when having sex, because tension can cause the adrenal medulla to secrete glucocorticoid, and the sympathetic nerve endings to secrete norepinephrine, which are detrimental to diabetes. Once some patients find out that they have diabetes, they often worry too much about losing their sexual function. In sexual life, other sexual dysfunction phenomena such as impotence often occur, and the vast majority are caused by psychological and psychological factors.
2. Do not indiscriminately use aphrodisiacs:
After sexual dysfunction occurs in diabetes patients, do not randomly use aphrodisiac drugs. It is recommended that diabetes patients actively go to the regular diabetes sexual dysfunction department for treatment, so as to better avoid the harm of sexual dysfunction in diabetes and effectively improve the quality of life. Patients with diabetes should not only strictly control the development of diabetes, but also increase nutrition and exercise properly. This is not only to maintain sexual function, but also to treat diabetes.
3. To avoid hypoglycemia:
Before sex, prepare some sugary food by the bedside. If symptoms such as palpitations, sweating, fatigue, hunger, shaking hands, and fainting occur during sexual intercourse, eat some in a timely manner. The preferred type of food to eat is sugary beverages. If not, foods with high levels of sugar and carbohydrates are generally acceptable. Before sex, diabetes patients had better measure their blood sugar to ensure normal blood sugar. If it is too low, they should eat something first. As long as blood sugar is controlled within a normal range, sexual activity itself will not directly lead to the occurrence of hypoglycemia.
Precautions for sexual life of patients with diabetes
4. Clean sexual organs to ensure hygiene:
Because of the low resistance of diabetes patients, it is very easy to have various acute and chronic infections, especially respiratory and urinary system infections. Although the sexual life itself is relatively sterile, women will cause vaginitis and urinary tract infections because men bring the dirt on the penis and vaginal orifice into women's vagina, and men can be combined with prostatitis. Therefore, couples should clean their external genitalia and genitalia before engaging in sexual activity. The cleaning of male external genitalia should not only scrub the surface of the penis and scrotum, but also pull the foreskin towards the base of the penis to flip the foreskin and fully expose the glans penis, and then wash with soap and water. For the cleaning of the female external genitalia, attention should be paid to the dirt near the labia and clitoris, and finally, the area near the anus should be cleaned.
