Be careful if you sweat a lot after sex

Beautiful and exciting sex is fascinating, but some small abnormalities often cause people to worry. Recently, men often ask me in the outpatient clinic why they sweat after sex. Here is a scientific explanation for you.

Sex itself is a kind of exercise, and sweating is inevitable. Sex can burn a lot of calories in the body. In addition, due to sexual concepts, men are generally more active during sex and exercise more. During sexual intercourse, impulse and excitement will inevitably cause phenomena such as increased heartbeat, rapid breathing, muscle contractions, skin flushing, and increased blood pressure. The sweat gland system also reacts, so slight sweating is normal. Recently, as the weather has warmed up, the human body's metabolism has accelerated, energy consumption has increased, sweating during sex has become more common, and even sweating more. These are all normal physiological phenomena.

However, some sweating during sex is pathological, often due to psychological or physical reasons. Psychologically, it is common in situations such as excitement, tension, and fear. For example, people with sexual dysfunction will worry about not being able to have an erection during sex, which will cause them to become overly nervous and inevitably lead to sweating. Physical reasons are mostly found in three types: Qi deficiency constitution, Yang deficiency constitution, and Yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire constitution. People with qi deficiency constitution mainly experience increased sweating after activities, shortness of breath and fatigue. People with yang deficiency constitution mainly show symptoms of fear of cold, back pain and fatigue, dull complexion, loose stools, clear and long urine, and preference for warm food. People with Yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire constitution mainly show symptoms of hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, insomnia or premature ejaculation and spermatorrhea in men.

Those who sweat profusely during sex should take corresponding measures: do not have sex when you are tired; do not have sex too intensely, and do not pursue it for too long; if the husband sweats too much, you can change positions, or let the wife take the initiative; pay attention to ventilation when the weather is hot, etc. If the sweating does not stop, you should go to a regular hospital for examination.
