Iron deficiency anemia is the most common anemia, especially in women in reproductive period and pregnant women.
. Women suffering from iron deficiency anemia for a long time generally have decreased libido. Iron is related to the nutritional status of epithelial cells, so the vagina and vulva mucosa of women suffering from iron deficiency anemia are thin and atrophied, and they will feel uncomfortable or even painful during sexual intercourse. Over time, sexual desire naturally decreases. In addition, anemia is easy to lack oxygen, so when having sexual intercourse, serious patients often feel overwhelmed, and sexual life becomes a burden.
Don't force sexual life when anemia symptoms are obvious, otherwise it will aggravate the symptoms. But when the spirit and physical strength are good, sexual life will not aggravate the condition. Anemia patients should pay more attention to sexual skills during sexual life, and the time for caressing each other can be longer, while during coitus, the action can be eased and the time can be shorter. Female patients with vulva and vaginal dryness discomfort can use contraceptive cream or lubricant to increase vaginal lubricity and facilitate the smooth sexual intercourse. Strengthening nutrition to improve the condition is the fundamental guarantee for the recovery of sexual function and the improvement of sexual life quality of anemia patients.
