Doctor and former BBB Marcela McGowan talked about sexuality during and after pregnancy
Marcela McGowan spoke about a very important subject: female sexuality before, during and after pregnancy.
Bride of Luiza Martinsthe doctor and former BBB said that this is one of the recurring doubts of women is whether contraceptive methods have the power to change libido.
“Yes, they can change, especially the methods that have hormones and the pill is the most common one used today. They block our production of natural hormones so you don’t ovulate and don’t have the chance to get pregnant, but in this blocking process , you mess with your internal hormones and you also block the testosterone and estrogen that we have in our body and which are very important for sexuality. Not everyone will have this impact, but some people will receive it. And the other methods like IUDs, both hormonal and non-hormonal, are the best options because they have a more local action”said in an interview with MacroBaby PodCastpresented by Tamara Natach.
During pregnancy, women feel a mixture of fear and shame when it comes to sexuality. According to Marcela, many women have a heightened sexual appetite, while others do not.
“When women become mothers, they find themselves in a place where sexuality no longer belongs to them. It is already difficult to talk about sexuality as a woman in our society and when you become a mother you almost enter that place where you have to be a saint, you don’t have to talk about this subject and it becomes a big conflict”said the gynecologist.
The doctor said that it is necessary to respect the woman’s body and hormones so that the period is taken without charges.
“Sexuality is something that is part of our well-being, which is even classified by the World Health Organization as one of the pillars of well-being in our lives. Because there are several benefits of relaxation, connection, knowledge of your own body. What we catch releases feel-good substances. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with being in a period where this isn’t a priority. It’s okay to have another focus right now, it’s okay to be feeling down with a lot of changes, it’s okay to be exhausted “, he spoke.
