Oleg Gulko, a sexologist and psychotherapist from the Karpovka+ Research and Clinical Center, said research based on a survey of women showed that personal satisfaction during the menstrual period can reduce pain even better than medications. This work was commissioned by several sex toy manufacturers.
Gülko explains that this effect is related to the reduction of menstrual cramps. Orgasm causes the release of endorphins, which positively affects the psychological state of a woman.
The specialist also notes that external stimulation without penetration is sufficient to achieve the desired sensations, which will help to avoid the anxiety of violating the rules of hygiene.
However, Gülko warns that masturbation is not the only way to deal with painful menstrual periods. To exclude possible pathological abnormalities that cause pain, it is recommended to contact specialists, including a sexologist, gynecologist and endocrinologist.
