Medical Video: Is Back Pain Hurting Your Sex Life? You can Fix the Problem / Dr. Mandell
Low back pain can interfere with the smooth running of daily activities. No exception to the activities you do with your partner in bed. Pain and discomfort while moving are the main reasons for many people who have a back pain to be lost to follow-up from any sexual activity. The reason is, every maneuver in a position change or even the penetration action itself can give great pressure to the area of the waist and its surroundings, which might exacerbate symptoms.
Safe sex tips when low back pain
1. Talk to your partner
One of the main keys in terms of comfort and safety in having sex is the smooth communication. Reporting from Web MD,Michael R. Mark, a physician representative for the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, said that low back pain was a really important topic of discussion - along with other classic household problems.
Because, not everyone is aware that it is his back pain that turns out to be the root cause of their reluctance to have sex. Some people may also refuse to have sex in certain positions that can aggravate the pain. Chronic low back pain can also cause depression which erodes your sex drive and your confidence.
For that, open to each other with all the complaints of your pain both. That way you and your partner can compromise to determine when the best day and what is the safest sex position and may relieve symptoms.
2. Try a new position
The wrong sex position can trigger a recurrence of low back pain that you have, or even make it worse. Look for a comfortable sex position for you or a partner who is having a backache.
You might be able to try a spooning position or 69 than a missionary, if the woman has a back pain. Spooning is a position where you and your partner lie side by side facing the same direction. In general, men will "enter from behind" while hugging their partner when penetrating. Penetration pressure in this position is quite shallow, so it won't hurt the waist so much. But if the missionary is your style of dependence,tuck the pillow under the woman's waist to support her waist.
If the man is having a backache, you should avoid the position of woman on top or doggy style that requires men to push hard.
3. Know when to stop
During sex, you might not feel sick. Because the body will release large amounts of endorphins, prolactin, and oxytocin to get rid of pain and improve a happy mood. But symptoms of low back pain can reappear after you recover from orgasm, where hormone levels in the body return to normal.
The pain can reappear due to previous maneuvers or erroneous movements, which you may not have realized at that time. Therefore, you must keep careful when having sex. Know what position makes you most comfortable. If the pain continues during sex, stop immediately. If forced, recovery can take longer. You can try again after your back pain improves.
To be more safe, you can switch to a joint masturbation session if you are not sure which sex position is safest for you both.
