Sexual activity in old age will not bring dangerous consequences, but on the contrary, it will have a positive effect on health. Sex, according to the latest research, is considered a significant criterion of vital activity. Why do you need to have sex more often even after the age of 60, what are the unpleasant consequences of refusing it and what is the cause of difficulties in sex, doctors told.

Doctors categorically disagree with the idea that old age and sexual activity are incompatible . According to doctor of medical sciences, professor, obstetrician-gynecologist Asiyat Khashukoeva, age has no effect on a woman's ability to respond to sexual stimuli.

During menopause, the level of sex hormones in the body decreases, which also affects libido. More than half of women aged 45-70 suffer from problems with sexual desire, during this period physiological changes can also begin, which lead to a loss of pleasure from sex. However, modern medicine is able to solve this problem, Asiyat Khashukoeva said.

The doctor explained that women can enjoy sex until their very late years. After all, the biological processes of aging do not block sexual function. And refusing it can threaten general deterioration of well-being, depression and difficulties in the family, said Asiyat Khashukoyeva.

The same applies to men. There are also no age restrictions on sex for them. According to Hryhoriy Kryvoborodov, doctor of medical sciences, professor, urologist, oncologist, erectile dysfunction problems are most often caused by vascular disorders, not psychological reasons. And this is subject to medical correction.

He explained that the main factor in erectile dysfunction in men over 60 is not age, but concomitant diseases (obesity, diabetes), a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, as well as a lack of interest women.

Doctors note that sex in old age is good for health in general and helps to stay active. In addition, on a regular basis, it contributes to the improvement of memory and other cognitive functions, as well as a good mood.

There is no need to be afraid of stress on the cardiovascular system. According to Kryvoborodov, sex will not bring dangerous consequences. Sexual intercourse can be compared to walking a distance of 1.5 km for 20 minutes or climbing two flights of stairs in 10 seconds.
