Menstrual cycle reveals women's sexual desire

The physiological and psychological changes of a woman during her 28-day menstrual cycle are also the rules of "cyclical changes in hormones" in the wife's body. Not every wife may be fully aware of it, so naturally they "can't understand why sometimes you look extremely charming and shy, and sometimes you are cold as ice and would rather be alone." Not to mention her husband outside of her, it is natural for her to feel confused. Therefore, whether it is a wife or a husband, it is very necessary to study and understand it seriously.

Days 1 to 7: Menstrual period – Overly sensitive to external factors

"Because pregnancy does not occur, under the regulation of pituitary hormones, the secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the ovaries decreases, the endometrial blood supply arterioles spasm and contract, and then rupture, causing the endometrium to become ischemic, necrotic and shed, resulting in menstruation. This process lasts about 2 to 8 days." Perhaps every wife knows this process itself because she has to go through it every month. However, not every wife, especially every husband, understands the function of this process. This process "is actually a very subtle adjustment of the organism itself, which allows the endometrium that has not been conceived to be renewed in a timely manner and prevent abnormal changes such as cancer from occurring due to excessive proliferation." When menstruation comes, due to the decrease in ovarian hormone levels, the urine volume increases slightly compared to usual, so most wives will "feel that they are particularly slim and have a beautiful figure." At the same time, "the skin is becoming smoother day by day."

A doctor specifically reminded that in the next few days, you will be "extremely tired and prone to catching colds." According to some recent surveys, "28% of women are more likely to get sick during their menstrual period than usual, and more than 70% of women experience period pain, along with symptoms such as stomach cramps and diarrhea." During this period, the wife's "body's anticoagulation system is in an activated state. She should pay attention to keeping warm and resting, and avoid possible bleeding situations, such as surgery and blood donation." Of course, she should also pay attention to "avoiding gynecological examinations."

Wives, and especially husbands, please pay attention. First of all, we must learn to anticipate the arrival of this day and make corresponding mental preparations. You should start paying attention to taking care of your wife, such as taking the initiative to do more housework and trying to let your wife take a break to relieve "fatigue". Secondly, considering that your wife is "prone to catching colds" at this time, you should find ways to remind and help her to pay more attention to preventing illness, and at the same time avoid heavy physical activities that may easily cause bleeding.

Of course, as a wife, you must also learn to love and respect yourself, neither being overly spoiled nor being indifferent. To understand the changes in your body, in addition to being aware of your physical condition, you must also pay attention to keeping a calm mind. Keep the standard of "being too sensitive to the outside world" and don't be too depressed. In particular, pay attention to cultivating the positive perception of "feeling that you are particularly slim and have a beautiful figure" and "your skin is becoming more delicate day by day". After all, women dress to please themselves. In this way, it is possible to easily get through the menstrual period.

Days 8 to 11: Early follicular phase (after menstruation) – both body and mind begin to prepare for sexual intercourse

The article introduces, "Just after menstruation ends, the production of ovarian estrogen will gradually recover. Estrogen is the basis for stimulating the growth of the endometrium. It gradually repairs the surface layer of the endometrium that has been stripped off during menstruation and promotes its re-thickening, making the blood vessels increasingly rich and full of blood." He also suggested that "if there is a period of time in a month when you feel good, then this is the time", so he suggested that the wife "might as well schedule challenging work to be completed during this period", which might bring some surprises to herself and others.

One doctor specifically pointed out: "Although estrogen does not stimulate women's sexual desire, it can make the vagina moist and elastic, and promote blood circulation from the reproductive system to the vagina, providing the vagina with sufficient blood, thus making perfect preparations for couples who are planning to get pregnant." The doctor also specifically reminded: "This period is the most suitable for a full body check-up, including cervical smears and breast self-examinations for gynecological examinations. If you need gynecological treatment or surgery, such as vaginal medication, cervical phototherapy or electric ironing, fallopian tube insufflation, etc., now is the most suitable time." Since the doctor has given this reminder, the husband might as well take the initiative to arrange for his wife to have a "full physical examination", especially a "gynecological examination". This is actually the best health blessing for his beloved wife.

One issue worth noting is that many husbands, seeing that their wives no longer have stomachaches and no longer lose their temper "for no reason", think that their wives' emotions have subsided and they can "live in peace". As a result, it is easy for them to ignore their wives' physical changes and psychological needs, and ignore that their wives are in a "state" of "feeling good" "in the middle of a month" at this time, and they go about their own business. In fact, at this time, the wife needs the closeness and caress of her husband the most. On the premise of proper contraception, the couple's sexual life at this time is the most pleasant. However, many wives, during this period, can only wait silently and spend their time quietly in this silent waiting. Rather than saying that this was a serious mistake on the husband's part, it would be better to say that it was a serious dereliction of duty.

Day 12-14: Late follicular phase (before ovulation) - happy mood is all written on the face

The article emphasizes, "At this point, your estrogen levels gradually reach their peak, and the follicles gradually develop and mature. High levels of estrogen allow the proliferation of the endometrium to become more perfect, and everything is ready for the expected implantation of the fertilized egg. At the same time, your cervical mucus will begin to thin, making it easier for sperm to pass through the uterus to reach the fallopian tube and combine with the egg."

However, some doctors have a "special" reminder: At this time "your body is ready for pregnancy, so you may find that your sexual desire is much stronger than usual. If you use the safe period contraceptive method, this stage is the most prone to problems because the length of the follicular phase is variable and ovulation may occur at any time." It is therefore recommended to take some special measures for this relatively "dangerous" stage. Due to the "gradual development and maturation" of the follicles during this period, "high levels of estrogen make the proliferation of the endometrium more perfect, and everything is prepared for the expected implantation of the fertilized egg", and at the same time, "sperm can more easily pass through the uterus to reach the fallopian tube and combine with the egg", which means that the sexual life of the couple at this moment should be the most ideal. If both parties adjust properly and cooperate well, it is easier to achieve the best state.

But the problem is often that the husband tends to ignore his wife's sexual desire during this period. Perhaps the husband's mood and sexual desire are not high due to work or other reasons, or the two parties disagree on whether to use contraception, which leads to emotional discord between the two parties, or contraceptive measures make the sex life disharmonious, thus losing the original physical and mental happiness. At this time, the wife's "sensitive senses" are more susceptible to negative stimuli and she will retreat and close herself off. At this time, family conflicts are inevitable.

As far as the sexual life of couples is concerned, the main contradiction during this period is whether to take contraceptive measures and what kind of contraceptive method to take. In a sense and to a certain extent, contraceptive measures and methods affect the pleasure of sexual life (perhaps it varies from person to person). Therefore, both parties must first resolve this contradiction. I think, at this time, as a husband, the first thing to do is to learn to read his wife's "expression", because at this time his wife's "happy mood is all written on her face."

Day 15-17: Ovulation period - sexual desire becomes irresistible

The article goes on to explain that at "the moment of ovulation, the egg 'breaks out' from the follicle, is 'captured' by the fallopian tube and moves inside it toward the uterine cavity. Once the egg is released, the empty follicle immediately collapses, bleeds, and forms a blood body, and then the blood in it is absorbed to form a secretory corpus luteum." During this process, "the corpus luteum begins to secrete progesterone, which has a role in supporting pregnancy." I believe that many wives may not be aware of the changes in their bodies to this extent. Not to mention being a husband. So the doctor gave a "special reminder" at this time: the wife "is now in the physiological peak period of easy conception", so the wife's "sexual desire will become difficult to suppress, so seize the opportunity to satisfy it."

The article introduces that many wives "will also feel positive and confident" at this time, and this is due to the excess androgen still circulating in the body, because "the androgen that stimulates women's sexual desire mainly comes from the androgen produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands (the amount is less than that produced by male testicles). Androgen levels can reach their peak during ovulation, during which time women's sexual desire is also the strongest." Common sense tells us that during this period, a wife's sexual desire manifests itself in two aspects: on the one hand, emotionally, she is "positive and full of confidence," and on the other hand, sexually, she is also "positive and full of confidence." Although it may not "become difficult to suppress," it is true that "women's sexual desire is the strongest during this period."

For a wife or husband, a full understanding of the characteristics and basic laws of a woman's sexual desire changes will help them accurately grasp the medical and physiological motivations behind the occurrence and changes of her emotions and sexual desire, and scientifically understand the social value of her emotions and sexual desire in regulating marital relationships, safe conception, and nurturing life, thereby further enhancing emotional integration and improving the quality of life. This has very important practical significance.

Day 18-23: Early luteal phase (after ovulation) - now in a relatively balanced state

The article goes on to say, "After ovulation, the amount of estrogen decreases, but the corpus luteum continues to secrete progesterone at a high level, which keeps the endometrium rich in blood and nutrients and further thickens." At this time, the "soil" of the endometrium is still fertile and suitable for "pregnancy", so that a possible pregnancy will not be "sustainable" in the early stages of "sowing". During this period, the wife's "physical and mental condition is in a relatively stable state. She will not feel particularly excited or depressed. But as the progesterone gradually increases and begins to take effect," "the physical state will begin to become more and more unstable."

A doctor followed up with a "special reminder": the body's "plateau period" has arrived, and at this time if you "start physical fitness training, skin care plans, etc., you can often achieve twice the result with half the effort." However, "do not do a breast examination during this period. This is because under the action of progesterone, the mammary gland alveoli are also fully developed. Sometimes, worrying nodules may be found when a breast examination is performed at this time. In most cases, they will disappear when the next menstruation begins."

The wife's body during this period tells us at least some important information: at this time, the wife's physical and mental condition seems to be "in a relatively stable state, she does not feel particularly excited or depressed", "but as the progesterone gradually increases and begins to take effect", "the physical state will begin to become more and more unstable." However, this "instability" is easily overlooked by the wife herself and her husband, because at this time the physiological indicators tend to stabilize and the high sexual desire gradually subsides. Therefore, the husband who is in a "sexually interested" state at this time should be careful not to only care about himself. At this time, the wife should not "do a breast examination". Because "at this time, under the action of progesterone, the mammary gland alveoli are fully developed, and sometimes worrying nodules may be found, which in most cases will disappear at the beginning of the next menstruation", so the examination has no practical significance and will bring unnecessary psychological tension and anxiety. At this time, the most important thing is that the wife herself should learn to maintain balance during this period of "being in a relatively balanced state" and prevent and adjust imbalance in time.

Day 24-28: Late luteal phase (before menstruation) - Becoming irritable, nervous, irritable, and suicidal

The article ends with a warning to every wife: "Your cycle is about to end. Unless you have conceived, the corpus luteum will gradually atrophy, the secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the ovaries will gradually decrease, and the thickness of the endometrium will decrease until it collapses and forms a new menstruation." The article said, "These few days are when women are at their lowest emotional point, and they are prone to bad temper, anger, tension, and mood swings. Their suicidal tendencies are seven times higher than usual."

One doctor finally gave a "special reminder" to every wife: "You may experience premenstrual syndrome during this stage: depression, irritability, irritability, anxiety, headaches, inattention and neglect of social activities; your body will experience breast swelling, abdominal distension and limb edema. In order to relieve this discomfort, you need to pay attention to consuming less high-salt foods at this stage, and eat more soy products, grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, which will help maintain the stability of the body's internal environment. In addition, the acidity of the vagina increases at this time, which is a high-risk period for fungal growth. You must be careful to prevent fungal infections, such as wearing comfortable cotton underwear."

Yes, every cycle has its end. Same as life cycle. The end of this "special cycle" of "28 days" was not smooth, and in many cases, it was even cruel. At this moment when it is "about to end", "unless conception has occurred", "a new menstruation" begins at the same time. Many young wives have not yet recovered from the disorder of the previous "cycle". It’s time to start dealing with the next “cycle” again. At this moment when "it's about to end", "women are at their lowest emotional point and are prone to bad temper, irritability, tension, and mood swings", and even worse, "suicidal tendencies are seven times higher than usual". This often happens to women who go through a monthly menstrual cycle and are very "regular" throughout their lives, but they are often caught off guard and still cannot control themselves. Many husbands have been lamenting throughout their lives: "My wife is the most difficult to serve at this stage of her life." Apart from fighting "emotion" with "emotion" or even fighting "violence" with "violence," they are helpless. At this moment when "it's about to end", "not only did my mood reach its lowest point, but my skin also started to have problems: rough skin and acne breakouts." Therefore, skin care is more important than at other times, otherwise, you may really feel that you are "getting old quickly". However, it is often ignored by wives. In fact, skin care and health care also have a "cycle" to pay attention to. At this moment when it’s “about to end,” “your body will experience breast swelling, abdominal distension, and edema in the limbs,” so you should “pay attention to consuming less high-salt foods, and eat more soy products, grains, and fresh fruits and vegetables, which will help maintain a stable internal environment in your body.” Otherwise, your physical condition will deteriorate significantly and quickly, and you may even develop hidden dangers of illness. At this "ending" moment, "vaginal acidity increases, which is a high-risk period for fungal growth." Whether it is daily activities or sexual intercourse between couples, "care must be taken to prevent fungal infections." It is best to "wear comfortable cotton underwear" to enhance the cleaning effect. Otherwise, the "consequences" will be disastrous. There are countless examples like this.

I believe that after reading this article, the wife will re-examine her body and adjust her mentality more actively; I believe that after reading this article, the husband will seriously reflect on his behavior and work harder to care for his beloved wife.
