Staying healthy is about overall health, and sexual health is an integral part of that. So let us show you how to take care of your sexual health for your well-being and for your relationship. Sex, sexual well-being and sexual pleasure are quite taboo subjects. Especially when it comes to women. But over the years, with the advent of the internet and social media, awareness of intimate health has increased. Therefore, it is important that you know some things related to your sexual health (Tips for maintaining sexual health).

According to Vaishali Sharma, MD (AIIMS) DSAGE (Germany) senior gynecologist, laparoscopic surgeon and infertility specialist, sexual health is underrepresented.

Tips for maintaining sexual health

1. Don’t ignore any new event

Dr. Sharma says, “Never ignore any new mole, sore or sore in your private area. In case of skin lesions in your intimate area, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist.”

2. Maintain hygiene

It is every woman’s decision to keep her pubic hair or not, but doctors recommend trimming it for reasons of hygiene. Dr. Sharma suggests that women should avoid using razors or knives underneath because the skin is extremely sensitive and can be prone to cuts and bruises. This can lead to further infection. It is also best to keep your vaginal area clean.

3. Practice healthy and safe sex

Dr. Sharma says – intercourse is a healthy practice as long as it is done with mutual consent. “There is no general limit to how often you have intercourse. While once a month may be normal for a couple, once a day is also completely normal. It just depends on the comfort and libido of both partners.

Make sure you or your partner use protection. This is not only to avoid pregnancy, but also to protect you from any possible sexually transmitted disease. Also, avoid having sex with a partner whose sexual or health history you are not aware of.

4. Educate yourself about orgasm

“It’s easy for men to induce orgasm, but not so easy for women,” says Dr. Sharma. For many women, this can be a source of stress. Try different foreplay and stimulation techniques to see what might work.

“If you lack your orgasm, try to find out the reason. It can also have psychological and pathological reasons.

5. Recognize your vaginal discharge

Especially for a woman, knowledge about vaginal discharge is an important part of maintaining sexual health. Discharge is actually also a sign of their ovulation cycle.

Dr. Sharma says, “A certain amount of discharge is physiological, but if there is excessive discharge, bad odor or irritation, see a doctor. If men suffer from these problems, they should see a urologist.”

6. Exercise

Exercising or working out is not just about staying slim, trim or fit. Your sexual well-being also includes the need for strength, flexibility and endurance. This can come with regular exercise to maintain sexual health. For women who may be concerned about a loose vagina as they age, Kegel exercises are recommended to tighten the vagina.

Dr. Sharma also explains how with the advent of medical science treatments, options are available for tight vagina as well as loose vagina through various techniques. The option of hymenoplasty (creation of a new hymen) is also available for those who want to relive their first experience.
