Moderate sexual life can promote the recovery of breast cancer patients

Breasts are female's secondary sexual characteristics. During sexual intercourse, women can gain sexual pleasure and, to a certain extent, sexual satisfaction by caressing or kneading the breasts, especially stimulating the nipples. In this process, men can also gain sexual satisfaction and further arouse their sexual desire.

However, breast cancer patients' sexual desire gradually decreases, and the frequency of their sex life suddenly decreases, and the quality of their sex life is also greatly compromised. The reasons are mainly two aspects: physiological factors and psychological factors. Physiological factors mainly refer to surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments, which lead to physical weakness and mental fatigue in patients. In particular, chemotherapy drugs can inhibit women's ovarian function, causing their sexual desire to decrease or even disappear. Psychological factors refer to severe deformation or loss of breast cancer, which brings heavy psychological pressure to women, making them lack confidence in their sex life, worrying about not being able to meet their husbands' requirements, and also fearing that sex life is not conducive to the recovery of breast cancer, and may even lead to recurrence.

In fact, moderate sex life is not only harmless, on the contrary, it is also beneficial to maintain the balance of the patient's endocrine function, and can also harmonize the relationship between husband and wife and make both parties happy. The husband's thoughtfulness to the patient can give his wife greater emotional and spiritual support, relieve psychological pressure, improve the body's immune function, enhance the patient's confidence in defeating the disease, and prevent breast cancer recurrence to a certain extent. Maintaining a harmonious husband-wife life is very important to improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients. Since the treatment of the disease will inevitably affect their estrogen levels and cause certain obstacles to normal sex life, the husband should make more efforts to stimulate the patient's sexual desire by adjusting the bedroom environment, diverting attention, creating romantic plots, etc., and change the repressed sexual psychology of breast cancer patients.
