Especially, if we talk about women, women expect many things from their partner, about which they find it difficult to talk openly. Even due to hesitation, many times women do not have the correct information related to their sexual health. During intimacy, many such hormones are released from the body of women, which cause many changes in their body. Intimacy and feel good touch release happy hormones in the body. Here we are telling you about some things related to women's sexual health, which every woman should know about. Dr. Aditi Bedi is giving information about this. She is a consultant gynecologist and obstetrician.

Every woman should know these 5 things related to sexual health

• Lack of intimacy affects women's sexual life as well as their mental health. During sexual relations, the happy hormone oxytocin is released from the body and due to this, stress and anxiety are reduced. On the other hand, if there is no physical intimacy for a long time, then it can also cause depression and physical health issues.
• During sexual relations, the use of condom is necessary. If you are planning to conceive, then it is a different matter, otherwise the use of condom also reduces the risk of STI.
• After sexual intercourse, definitely pass urine. Many women feel that this reduces the chances of pregnancy. But, it is not so. Actually, this has nothing to do with pregnancy. This definitely reduces the risk of infection.
• If you are planning pregnancy, then it is very important to track your period cycle. If you have physical relations keeping in mind the days after which your periods are occurring, what is the time of ovulation, then it will be easy to conceive.
• 
• Stress has a profound effect on women's sexual health. It also affects orgasm and sexual arousal. When the stress hormone cortisol increases in our body and the level of sex hormones estrogen and testosterone decreases, vaginal dryness and libido decrease.
• It is very important to maintain hygiene after sexual intercourse, otherwise you may fall prey to infection. Apart from this, if you are experiencing severe pain while being intimate or feel pain and bleeding after it, then definitely talk to your partner and doctor about this

Women must be aware of these things related to sexual health.
