JAKARTA - Sex is not only about pleasure and intimacy, but also various benefits for the health of the body. Some health problems that are often experienced can be reduced or recovered by regularly having sex.

This is because during sex, the body releases various hormones that can help relieve pain, nourish the heart, to insomnia. Here are 7 health problems that can relieve the symptoms and even make love, as reported by the WebMD page.

1. Stress and anxiety

When the body experiences stress, the hormone cortisol increases, causing feelings of tension and anxiety. Sex can help reduce stress by stimulating the production of endorphins and oxytocin hormones, known as the hormone of happiness. These two hormones help the body relax, improve mood, and increase comfort and closeness to the partner.

2. Insomnia and Sleep Disorders

Sleep difficulties can be overcome by making love. When you reach orgasm, the body releases the hormone prolacticine, which plays a role in regulating the sleep cycle. That is why many people feel sleepy after having sex. In addition, the release of oxytocin helps calm the nervous system, so you can sleep better.

3. Headache and Migraine

If you often experience headaches or migraines, making love can be a natural solution. Research from the University of M\"unster in Germany found that some migraine sufferers felt better after sex. This happens because sex releases endorphins who work as natural pain relievers, helping reduce the intensity of headaches.

4. Blood Pressure Problem

Regular sex can help keep blood pressure stable. Research shows that sex can help lower systolic blood pressure (upper figure in blood pressure measurements). In addition, regular sexual activity can also improve heart health by advancing blood circulation.

5. Weak Body Immunity System

If you are often sick or easily exposed to the flu, making love may help improve your immune system. Sex stimulates the production of immunoglobulin A (IgA), which is antibodies that protect the body from viral and bacterial infections. Studies fromtensic University in Pennsylvania found that people who have sex several times a week have higher Iga levels than those who rarely make love.

6. Ereksi Disfunction

For men, making love regularly can help maintain the health of blood vessels and increase blood flow to the reproductive organs, thereby reducing the risk of erectile dysfunction. Sex also trains pelvic muscles that play a role in erectile and ejaculation, thus helping men maintain their sexual performance longer.

7. Urine incontinence

Icontinence or difficulty holding back urination often occurs in women after giving birth or when they enter old age. Making love helps strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, especially when orgasm. Stronger muscles will help control the bladder and reduce the risk of urine leakage.
