Women Who Have Less Sex More Likely To Develop Early Menopause, Study Finds

 

A study conducted by the Royal Society Open Science has revealed that less frequency of sexual activity can lead to early menopause. Typically, the effect of menopause on sexual activity has been studied before. But this is the first survey of this kind that connects frequency of sex and menopause in a cause and effect study. 

 

 

 

The body reaches menopause at the end of its fertility period. According to lead researcher Megan Arnot and experts from the related medical fraternity, middle-aged women who reported frequent physical intimacy were found to be 28% less likely to experience menopause as compared to women who were having sex less than once a month.

Experts think that the body often goes into an energy allocation plan. Ovulation is a process that takes up a lot of energy along with impacting immunity. If this process is not being used for reproduction, then this energy is wasted. Less sexual activity or abstinence has no likelihood of pregnancy. So, the body decides to divert this energy to some other vital function.

Thus, the timing of menopause may be connected to the chances of getting pregnant. More research is awaited to have any conclusive result. This study was done over a period of 10 years with about 3000 premenopausal and peri-menopausal women. 

The analysis took into account and dismissed the other listed factors affecting menopause such as the onset of periods, BMI, oestrogen levels, smoking, etc. Exposure to male hormones was also tested and ruled out. Relationship between sex and menopause shows extension beyond intercourse to oral sex, sexual touching and self-stimulation.

The study supports the ‘Grandmother Hypothesis’, which suggests that the evolution of menopause in humans occurred for two reasons – one, to reduce reproductive conflict among the females, and two, to ensure safety and care of the grandchildren. 

This research must be extended to include women from various races and environmental conditions to prove the theory correctly. Future studies may bring results that will help behavioural advice and better management. Women who want to delay disturbing symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats can be advised accordingly.
