Many people have heard of lupus erythematosus, and just by the name of the disease, they know that it is a very serious illness. Due to the fact that this disease can cause skin lesions, resulting in marks on the skin similar to those bitten by wolves, it also has a significant impact on the psychological well-being of patients. Can lupus erythematosus patients have sexual intercourse?
Lupus erythematosus is an immune disease that belongs to the same type of disease as rheumatoid arthritis. It is not contagious and does not worsen due to sexual intercourse. Therefore, patients with lupus erythematosus can have sexual intercourse. Moderate sexual activity can help alleviate patients' psychological stress and stabilize their mental state. Therefore, lupus patients should not prohibit sexual activity, as it may be detrimental to their condition.
However, patients with lupus erythematosus are prone to feelings of inferiority and may worry about their sexual partners disliking them during sexual intercourse. For the sake of the patient's mental health, it is required that sexual partners should provide sufficient tolerance and understanding to the patient, and communicate with the patient attentively in order to eliminate inferiority complex.
Patients with lupus erythematosus should also have a strong psychological state, not feel inferior due to the disease, and not be emotionally negative. Only by strengthening one's inner self and viewing illness with optimism can one alleviate their condition. Of course, this disease requires active medication treatment, otherwise it is impossible for it to heal on its own.
