Mr. Liu is the boss of a company. He works hard, seldom exercises, is busy with social activities, and often gets drunk. Businessmen are all under great pressure. Recently, they have not had a good sleep. Sometimes they are dizzy and have a bad sex life. Accompanied by his wife, Mr. Liu went to the hospital for examination and found that he had moderate hypertension. The cardiologist explained to them in detail the hazards of hypertension and the daily precautions of patients. However, Mrs. Liu was still worried and wanted to have a chat with me. It turns out that Mrs. Liu has heard about the accidental death of patients with high blood pressure while having sex, but the doctor of internal medicine doesn't explain much about this situation, so I want to find out from me.
In fact, there are many situations like Mr. and Mrs. Liu in real life. For patients with hypertension, how to have a safe sex life? Generally speaking, we should take different countermeasures according to the severity of the disease.
We know that sex life is not only a kind of moderate physical activity, but also a kind of emotional activity of mental excitement and high emotion. During sexual intercourse, breathing will accelerate, heart rate will accelerate, blood pressure will rise. Studies have shown that systolic blood pressure can rise 30-60 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure can rise 20-40 mmHg during sexual intercourse. After the end of sexual intercourse, the elevated blood pressure gradually decreased and returned to normal. As for patients with hypertension, due to the high basic blood pressure at ordinary times, the blood pressure rise during sex life will be higher, which can increase the burden on the heart. Especially in elderly patients with coronary heart disease or cardiac insufficiency, can induce angina pectoris, myocardial infarction or sudden death, stroke.
Skills in having sex
Since it is dangerous for hypertensive patients to have sex, are they sentenced to death? No, they can still enjoy it, but they should pay attention to their skills
Generally speaking, although the blood pressure of patients with mild hypertension increases during sexual intercourse, it can quickly return to the previous level after sexual intercourse, so the possibility of causing heart, brain, kidney and other emergencies is small, and they can also have sex with normal people.
Patients with moderate hypertension, general blood pressure is relatively stable, and accompanied by mild heart, brain, kidney and other complications, must be under the protection of drugs to have moderate sex.
Severe hypertension patients have obvious headache, chest tightness, precordial discomfort, renal dysfunction and other complications, which may induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents during sexual life. So should suspend sexual life, after drug treatment, and then consult a doctor whether you can resume sexual life.
In addition, patients with moderate or above hypertension should not have sex when their blood pressure is unstable or rising. Hypertension with coronary heart disease or cerebrovascular disease, it is best to take vasodilators 30 minutes before sex, it is best to use calcium antagonists, so as to avoid the occurrence of accidents caused by increased blood pressure during sexual excitement.
