Patient's question:
My wife is over 46 years old this year. Recently, her temper has been particularly bad, she doesn't sleep well at night, and she has even lost weight from all the trouble. I'm very worried. May I ask: Does a woman who hasn't had sex for a long time experience menopause earlier?Doctor's answer:
Women who lack regular sexual activity for a long time may lead to endocrine disorders in the body, affecting the normal excretory function of the ovaries, causing hormone levels to rise, and thus early symptoms of menopause appear. Long-term lack of sexual activity can also lead to changes in women's psychology and behavior, making them prone to self-absorption and often troubled by unrealistic thoughts. It may even lead to sleep disorders, headaches, stomach cramps, and other symptoms.
