sex flush

Examples of sex flush in the following topics:

• Male Sexual Response

  • The increase in blood flow in the genitals and other regions may lead, in some men, to a sex flush.
  • After orgasm and ejaculation, a refractory period usually ensues, characterized by loss of erection, a decline in any sex flush, decreased interest in sex, and a feeling of relaxation associated with the action of the neurohormones oxytocin and prolactin.

• Accessory Sex Glands

  • The accessory sex glands produce seminal fluid and clean and lubricate the urethra.
  • The accessory sex glands, including the seminal, prostate glands, and bulbourethral glands, produce seminal fluid and clean and lubricate the urethra.
  • This fluid helps to lubricate the urethra for spermatozoa to pass through, neutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra, and helps flush out any residual urine or foreign matter.

• Female Sexual Response

  • A number of physiological changes occur in the body and mind in preparation for sex and continue during the act.
  • Other bodily changes include an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, as well as flushing across the chest and upper body.

• Absorption of Alcohol

  • This causes acetaldehyde levels to peak higher, producing more severe hangovers and other effects like flushing and tachycardia.
  • Compared with alcohol abstainers, the relative risk of gallstone disease, controlling for age, sex, education, smoking and body mass index, is 0.83 for occasional and regular moderate drinkers (< 25 ml of ethanol per day), 0.67 for intermediate drinkers (25-50 ml per day), and 0.58 for heavy drinkers.
  • This inverse association was consistent across strata of age, sex and body mass index.

• Anatomy of the Female Reproductive System

  • If not fertilized, this egg is flushed out of the system through menstruation.

• Signs and Symptoms of Shock

  • Hives and flushing on the back of a person with anaphylaxis.

• Gonorrhea

  • Either sex may also acquire gonorrhea of the throat from performing oral sex on an infected partner, usually a male partner.
  • The infection is transmitted from one person to another through vaginal, oral, or anal sex.
  • The risk for men who have sex with men is higher.

• Renal Calculi

  • Water helps by flushing unwanted substances, including toxins, from the body.

• X-Ray Studies of the GI Tract

  • Patients may eat normally after the procedure, but it is important to drink a lot of water to assist in flushing the barium through the body more easily.

• Horner's Syndrome

  • Sometimes there is flushing on the affected side of the face due to dilation of blood vessels under the skin.
