Is there a link between decreased libido and constipation

The causes of poor libido or decreased libido are multifaceted, but few people think of constipation. Clinically, some women often due to menstrual cramps, vaginal cramps, frigidity and seek medical treatment in the hospital, often found that a number of them have varying degrees of chronic constipation when asked about their medical history. Painful ejaculation, ejaculation or premature ejaculation, impotence in men, doctors also found this interesting phenomenon. And when chronic constipation lessens or disappears, so do the obstacles and problems associated with sexuality. Studies have shown that chronic constipation not only causes long-term rectal involvement, resulting in unstable anal pressure and tight anal month contractions, but also affects the function of the bladder, uterus and other pelvic organs. Many people have this experience, when the stool stays in the rectum, not out of the anus, the whole perineum will have a kind of tightness, falling, fullness, hidden pain and other uncomfortable feelings. Therefore, long-term constipation can make the pelvic muscle groups subject to chronic stimulation, the anus muscle, perineum deep transverse muscle, urethrovaginal structure muscle, bulbocavernosus muscle, etc. can often be spasmodic contraction. Over time, these muscles will appear malnutrition and excessive relaxation phenomenon. These muscle groups and penile erection, ejaculation and vaginal function have a very close relationship. Especially worth mentioning is the pubococcygeus muscle, some people call it “sex muscle”) it is a broad ligament, such as a bandage hammock supporting all the organs in the pelvis and vaginal muscles. If the muscle is often in a state of relaxation or abnormal tension, it will cause a decrease in vaginal sensitivity, sexual pleasure is weakened, and some will also cause urinary incontinence. In addition, long-term constipation or the formation of anal hemorrhoids “catalyst”, and the resulting perianal pain, bleeding, infection, to patients with great psychological pressure. The anal hemorrhoids and chronic constipation are often the cause and effect of each other, easy to form a vicious circle. It is worth noting that, constipation caused by libido change whether in middle-aged men and women or young men and women are occurring from time to time. Some have constipation and lack of sexual desire of women, because they are not willing to tell in front of others or doctors, often constipation to cover up the psychological anxiety and pain. Some middle-aged men often from other aspects to find the reason for the decline in libido, always think it is “age relations” or “physical weakness” caused by indiscriminate use of “Yang” medicine, not only cause a waste, but also often due to the effectiveness of the treatment is not good. This is not only a waste of money, but also a heavy burden due to poor efficacy. Therefore, men and women with chronic constipation and anal hemorrhoids with decreased libido, may wish to seek medical treatment, may have satisfactory results.
