Sexual and Reproductive Health Awareness Day 2024: To live a good and healthy life, we should take care of our physical health as much as we should take care of our mental health. The changing lifestyle and our workload have the worst effect on mental health. Work-related stress affects your overall health. Sometimes it is so severe that it increases the risk of diseases like depression.

Stress often manifests itself in behavior. Stress can cause physical problems such as headaches, upset stomach, high blood pressure or chest pain. In terms of mental health, high levels of stress can lead to depression, anxiety, panic attacks and other emotional problems. Apart from this, most importantly, stress and anxiety have the biggest impact on sex life. This can spoil the sex life as well as the relationship with the partner. Let's know what effect it has on your sex life.
