What causes increased libido before menstruation?

Sex is an indispensable thing in everyone's life. People's sexual desire changes with age, but women usually have strong sexual desire after the age of 30. In fact, women's sexual desire is not only affected by age, but also by menstruation. Most women find it very strange that every time before their menstruation, their sexual desire will increase. What's going on?

What causes increased sexual desire before menstruation?

The first is that women’s sexual desire is closely related to their menstrual cycle. After menstruation, when a new cycle begins, women’s bodies will secrete more estrogen, which makes women full of energy and more active in their sex life.

Another situation is that the sexual desire is relatively high before menstruation, which is more common in some middle-aged women. This is because the estrogen level is higher than usual when menstruation is about to come, the pelvic cavity becomes congested, and the sexual excitement of the brain is stimulated to increase accordingly. This situation is a normal physiological and psychological need.

Also, when couples have sex before menstruation, they should pay special attention to reproductive hygiene. Since menstruation is about to come, infection is easy to occur, especially for patients with sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, the man should pay attention to keeping his genitals clean and avoid being too intense during sex.

Women's sexual desire fluctuates and is affected by multiple factors, such as physiology, psychology, emotion, environment, partner, etc. Therefore, Yang Dazhong said that in real life, the above two sexual peaks are not universally applicable. "Some women are exceptions. They have stronger sexual desire during menstruation."

If a woman has a greater sexual desire during her "peak", she will naturally feel it and it will be reflected in her sexual life. Therefore, doctors rarely remind women in clinical practice to use the peak of sexual desire to improve the quality of their sex life. But for men, this is a reminder: quickly find out your partner's desire cycle, then adjust yourself, try to "reach the peak" at the same time as your partner to achieve a "win-win" situation.
