कामजीवनातील “अडचण” व होमिओपॅथिक उपचार / “Difficulties”(अडचण) in Sex-Life and Homoeopathic Treatment

“Difficulties”(अडचण ) in Sex-Life and Homoeopathic Treatment

” Menstruation is an indispensable body ritual for Women every month .

From the first period of Adolescence or Menarche to Menopause , Women are dealing with period ‘ Pain’ (दुखणं)for 35 to 40 years.

The reason for the Pain is that even in today’s 21st century, the Mentality of the majority of people is intact to look at Menstruation as ‘ Depraved ‘(विटाळ), covering it with a veil of openness or superiority.

Therefore, it becomes mandatory to discuss how obstacles arise in the Sex-Life of the woman, as well as in the Sex-Life of the couple . But this topic is important not because of “Sex” , but because it is directly related to Women’s Life, Health and Mentality.

If there is any problem in Women’s Menstrual Cycle, it has a major impact on their overall Sex-Life. Therefore, it is necessary to take treatment (Homoeopathic) wherever necessary, without keeping the Menstrual Cycle of women as a depraved ‘(विटाळ‘) subject.

Narrating the experience of a couple who came to us (at the Chaitanya Homoeopathic Clinic) with the wife suffering from Metrorrhagia during ” Heavy Periods” . The problem of this woman was short interval between two periods, periods lasting for several days and heavy bleeding. Therefore, they had not had intercourse even once in the last six months. After the couple took Homoeopathic treatment, the Woman’s periods became regular and her Sex-Life improved.

But there will be thousands of Women who do not reach Doctors, who need Medical help, Homoeopathic Treatment .

There is an urgent need to dispel the notion that ‘ Menstruation’ is a Woman’s ‘ Pain ‘ and every woman has to tolerate it without complaint.

The ‘ Menstrual Cycle’ is on average 28 days and every Woman can have a difference of five to six days . But when this cycle becomes irregular and Menstruation starts early and it is accompanied by heavy bleeding, the woman suffers from Anemia . ” Often, women who complain of heavy Menstrual bleeding, Fear that They cannot give pleasure to their husbands”.

The typical symptoms in these Women are, ” extreme fatigue, insufficient sleep, hair loss and forgetfulness. ”

Less than 20 % of Women in our country know their hemoglobin.

How much will such a Woman be interested in Sexual relations when she is losing interest in life due to anemia ?

Therefore, due to the pressure of her husband, she does have Sex with him or if possible avoids physical contact.

Menstruation and Libido fluctuations are closely related.

Depression and decreased levels of Hormones cause a woman to lose Libido during Menstruation.

But then as the Hormone “Estrogen” increases, so does the libido. Libido increases in the next fortnight until ‘ Ovulation’ (the female Ovum matures), then about three weeks after the Period , the next Period begins and the Libido diminishes to a minimum.

Although it is believed that the Libido is low due to abdominal pain, waist pain, Mood Swings,  due to Menstruation, should we have intercourse during the actual period ? There are differences of opinion on this.

Many books used to say that, intercourse should not be done while Menstruating and ” a woman should not be Touch while Menstruating” .

Even in Ayurveda, Sexual intercourse during the period is considered taboo.

However, intercourse during Menstruation does not cause any problem to either the woman or the man.

It has been explained in the book “Sampoorna Kama Vidnyana” “संपूर्ण कामविज्ञान” written by Dr. Vitthal Prabhu that,  the decision whether to have Sex during Menstruation or not should be left to the woman .

“Sexual intercourse during Menstruation does not cause any disease. However, if a woman does not like Sexual intercourse during Menstruation, it should not be done at all. Because of abdominal pain, discharge discomfort, a woman does not like physical intercourse during such periods.

If intercourse is to be done during Menstruation, care must be taken to avoid infection. But if one of the partners has any Sexually Transmitted disease, the chance of infecting the other is more during this period. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, men should use condoms or abstinence during Sexual intercourse during this period.”

Abdominal pain during Menstruation , lower back pain can really be reduced by intercourse ? So, in the book ” Period of Sex:- Exploring the depths of desire during your cycle” it is mentioned that ‘ Endorphin ‘ works as a Neuro-Chemical natural pain reliever . As ‘ Endorphins ‘ are released during sexual intercourse, body pain experienced during Menstruation can be relieved. Physical activity and Emotional stimulation during intercourse help loosen the muscles. It also includes the abdomen and vagina . So if you have a problem with cramps during your period , its intensity can be reduced. As the blood supply to the genitals increases during intercourse , it helps in reducing Menstrual pain. Menstruation is not only physical but also Mental changes due to changes in Hormone levels. Menstrual intercourse can be a remedy for these ‘ Mood Swings’ as well. The reason for this is that ‘ Oxytocin’, the ‘ Love Hormone’ is also released during intercourse.

In short, it is claimed in this book that it helps to get rid of Mental fatigue and Stress during Menstruation .

Many Women around the age of 40 face Menstrual Problems.

Women in their forties who come for Menstrual Problems, when was the last time they had sex with their husbands ? When asked , “So now there is nothing left between us ?” They say that very ease & casually. Women also need to understand that Sex-Life plays an important role in Marital relationship.

When it comes to figuring out the causes of Menstrual problems , Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) and weight gain are the most common causes of Menstrual problems.

A high prevalence of Obesity has been observed in patients. Menstrual problems have Psychological symptoms like Emotional agitation along with severe bleeding pain which directly affects Sex Life .

Often, Menstrual problems are present before Marriage. But even if something happens, many Women have the mindset that they don’t have to go to the Doctor , but take the pain out if  possible.  Treatment is avoided due to the belief that Hormone-related pills should not be taken .

Timely treatment of real Menstrual problems is essential for good health.

If Menses become irregular around 40, without the mutual conclusion that these symptoms will last until Menopause , if menses begin in early forties, this condition is called Premature Menopause .

The average age of Menopause is 48-49. Menopause in the early 40s can increase the risk of Heart Disease. Also there is a possibility of Bone Brittleness- Osteoporosis.

Hence, at any age, proper diagnosis and treatment of Menstrual Problems is essential .

About two weeks after the Period , the process of ” Ovulation ” occurs. Therefore, although there is a belief that ‘ Sex during period does not result in Pregnancy’ , it has been recorded in the book ” Sex During Period “ that pregnancy can occur in certain circumstances.

If we talk about the treatment of Menstrual problems, it is necessary to properly diagnose the problem of Menstruation . Sometimes sonography has to be done to check if there is any problem in the uterus. At present, the Menstrual cycle can be regularized with medical treatment, birth control pills, but it can be temporary.

Often in rural areas, cases of Hysterectomies even in twenty-five-thirties for the sole reason of ‘ Menstrual Discomfort’ are very wrong.

After getting married, women are not able to enjoy working life because of the worry of getting pregnant or not . But after Thirty- Five they want to focus on cohabitation after family responsibilities are completed. In such a case, if there is a Menstrual problem, it causes Mental Anguish. Homoeopathic Treatment should be taken on time to avoid it.

Women should understand that if there are problems in Menstruation , it is a signal given by the body that the cycle of Health is Disturbed .

Also, although working life during Menstruation may still seem like a dark topic, it can start with a positive acceptance of Menstruation.

If Homoeopathic Treatment is taken regardless of any Menstrual problems, women can experience the Satisfaction of a Happy Sex-Life by completely eliminating the “Difficulty”(अडचण ) in Sex-Life.
