Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My husband is 33 years old, and we are very affectionate. We have sex every night, sometimes twice a day. Both of us can reach orgasm each time. I want to ask if this frequency is too high and if it's normal. Does it have a significant impact on health?Other: He has always been very healthy, even without a cold. However, I don't feel well lately, and I've been experiencing galactorrhea—both breasts are leaking white milk. Could this be due to too frequent sexual activity causing endocrine disorders? But I'm also taking a birth control pill (Mirena), could that be affecting it as well?
Doctor's answer:
Frequent sexual activity can lead to prolonged congestion in the pelvic area, making it more prone to gynecological inflammation and urinary tract infections. It can also lead to premature aging and other issues.People who have sex more than three times a week are more likely to develop kidney infections. Generally, having sex four to five times a week, or having intercourse for too long each time, is considered "excessive." Excessive sexual activity can cause bacteria to invade the urethra and even travel up to the bladder, leading to most urinary tract infections in women.
