What are the dangers of women sleeping on their backs?

No matter who you are, getting enough sleep is very good for your health. Everyone spends a lot of time sleeping every day, so we must attach great importance to sleep. First of all, we must make ourselves comfortable when sleeping, and also make sure we get high-quality sleep. For example, the sleeping posture is very important. Nowadays, many women like to sleep lying on their backs. So what are the dangers of sleeping like this for a long time?

First, women are not suitable for sleeping lying down

Lie flat: It can relieve back pain, avoid pressing your face against the bed, and reduce clogging of pores due to sweat secretion, thereby reducing the occurrence of acne. However, the disadvantage is that the tongue is more likely to droop back, causing sleep apnea and making you more likely to snore.

Second, will sleeping lying flat lead to retrograde uterine displacement and infertility?

Won't

This statement has not been recognized, and there is no such thing as retroverted uterus. In medicine, there is a condition called retroverted uterus. The chance of pregnancy is indeed lower than that of anterior uterus, but it will not cause infertility. Whether the uterus is retroverted is determined by congenital genetic and acquired influences. It has nothing to do with sleeping posture. A woman's uterus is already relatively mature when her menarche occurs. So even if you like to sleep lying flat, you can't lie flat all the time, and you can rest assured that it will not cause your organs to shift.

Third, how do women choose sleeping positions?

Under normal circumstances, women can choose to sleep on their backs or on their right sides. These two sleeping positions have the least impact on women's bodies and are easier to relax.

1. Sleeping on your back

This sleeping position is often used by many women. Lying flat on your back will neither hinder your breathing nor compress other organs of the body. It can be said that this is a more reasonable sleeping position. However, women who often adopt this sleeping position should pay attention to the following points if they want to sleep well:

A. It is best to place your hands flat on both sides of your body, not on your chest, otherwise you will easily have nightmares.

B. Don’t use a pillow that is too high, otherwise your neck will always be under stress and you won’t get a good rest.

2. Sleeping on the right side

This sleeping position is recognized by most people. Many people believe that this sleeping position will not put pressure on the heart, but also help the body digestion, because the opening connecting the stomach and the intestines opens to the right. Furthermore, the liver is located in the right upper abdomen. When a woman lies on her right side, the liver will be relatively lower, which is more conducive to blood perfusion, allowing the liver to obtain more blood support and replenish more nutrients. Its metabolic capacity will also increase, which will help the body detoxify. Therefore, it is best for women to choose to sleep on the right side.
