　　female The menstrual cycle is like a mysterious picture, which contains many mysteries about sexual desire. The two periods before and after menstruation are often considered to be inextricably linked to women's sexual needs. For women themselves and their partners, understanding these patterns may add more harmony and sweetness to life. Next, let us uncover this mysterious veil together.

Changes in sexual desire before menstruation

　　Effects of hormone levels: Before menstruation, hormone levels in a woman’s body will change significantly. The levels of estrogen and progesterone fluctuate greatly. Estrogen gradually increases during the menstrual cycle and begins to decrease after ovulation, while progesterone increases after ovulation and decreases rapidly before menstruation. This hormonal change affects women’s nerve The system causes some women to experience increased sexual desire before menstruation. For example, some women feel they have a stronger desire for sex in the days before their period, which may be related to hormones stimulating areas of the brain responsible for sex drives.

　　The role of psychological factors: In addition to physiological hormonal changes, psychological factors also play an important role. Before menstruation, some women will feel anxious because of the discomfort of menstruation, and sex can relieve this anxiety to a certain extent. Neurotransmitters such as endorphins are secreted during sexual intercourse, and these substances have the effect of relaxing the body and mind and reducing stress. Therefore, in order to relieve psychological tension and anxiety, women may be more inclined to have sex to regulate their emotions before menstruation.

Changes in sexual desire after menstruation

　　Physical recovery state: After menstruation ends, a woman's body gradually recovers from the discomfort of menstruation. During menstruation, women may experience stomach ache , fatigue and other uncomfortable symptoms. After menstruation, the physical discomfort is relieved and energy and physical strength are restored. At this time, women's physical condition is more suitable for sexual life, so sexual desire may also increase. For example, some women feel that their bodies become lighter and their interest in sex increases when their menstruation has just ended.

　　Hormones fluctuate again: After menstruation ends, estrogen levels begin to gradually rise again. Estrogen plays an important role in maintaining the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics, and also affects female sexual desire. As estrogen levels rise, a woman's sexual sensitivity may increase, leading to increased sexual desire. Moreover, at this stage of the menstrual cycle, women's reproductive organs are relatively sensitive, and sex may bring a stronger sense of pleasure, which will further promote women's sexual needs.

individual differences impact

　　Physical differences: There are great differences in the physical constitution of different women, which will lead to different needs for sexual life before and after menstruation. Some women are more sensitive, and small changes in hormone levels can cause significant fluctuations in sexual desire. ； Some women's bodies are relatively less sensitive, and the impact of hormonal changes on sexual desire is not so significant. For example, women with weak constitutions may feel tired before and after menstruation and may not be very interested in sex. ； Women with better physiques and more energy may be more susceptible to hormonal changes and experience increased sexual desire.

　　Impact of living status: Living status will also have an important impact on women’s sexual desires. If a woman has a lot of work pressure and a tense life pace before and after menstruation, even if there are changes in hormones in her body, she may not have much sexual needs due to physical and mental exhaustion. On the contrary, if life is easier and the mood is pleasant, women may pay more attention to their sexual needs. For example, a woman who is busy at work and often works overtime before menstruation may not have time to take care of her sex life. ； Women whose menstruation ends during vacation may be more in the mood to enjoy sex.

　　Women may experience increased sexual desire before and after menstruation. Before menstruation, it is mainly due to changes in hormone levels and the influence of psychological factors, while after menstruation, it is related to the body's recovery state and hormone fluctuations again. However, individual differences play an important role, and differences in physical fitness and living conditions will lead to different expressions of sexual desire for each woman. Understanding this knowledge can help women better understand their own bodies and sexual needs, and can also make partners more understanding and tolerant.
