Sometimes, some couples are forced to stop practicing intimacy for a long time, due to the presence of some health problems, or disagreements between the spouses, or one of them travels, without awareness of the health damages of that matter.

So, in the following lines, we present to you the most important harms of stopping the practice of marital relations for a long time, according to what was stated on the “wellandgood” and “timesofindia” sites.

Muscle pain
Sex can be an effective pain reliever, as it releases hormones to prevent menstrual cramps, muscle aches, and headaches.

High blood pressure and stress levels
Being out of sex for a long time can lead to a rise in your blood pressure and stress levels, which leads to mood swings.

Prostate cancer
Researchers have indicated that men who ejaculate less than 7 times a month are more likely to develop prostate cancer.

Pelvic floor muscle weakness
Another health problem caused by stopping marital relations is the weakness of the pelvic floor muscles, as a result of not moving for long periods.

Difficulty sleeping
Intimacy contributes to the secretion of a mixture of hormones that help you fall asleep quickly, but stress due to lack of sexual intercourse leads to a feeling of insomnia, and thus difficulty sleeping.

Weakened immune system
Regular sex boosts the immune system, which increases the body’s ability to fight disease by releasing endorphins.

Your libido is weak
Going too long without sex can make you lose interest in sex and, in turn, lower your libido.

Heart disease
This may affect the health of the heart and blood vessels, as sexual dehydration causes a negative effect on hormones that are beneficial for heart health.
