Debunking the Popular Myth About Abstinence

Gynecologist Tatyana Ilyukhina stated that abstinence in women does not lead to diseases. She debunked the popular myth in a Telegram channel. According to Ilyukhina, there are no clinical protocols suggesting that specific female diseases require treatment through sexual contact. The absence of intimacy does not increase the risk of developing cancer or gynecological pathologies, nor does it affect hormones, she emphasized. However, regular sex is beneficial for health, added the doctor. Frequent sexual activity strengthens the immune system, normalizes blood pressure, reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, improves mood, and relieves stress, Ilyukhina pointed out.
