Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that causes the airways in the lungs to become inflamed and narrow, making it difficult to breathe. Asthma can be triggered by a variety of things, such as exercise, allergens, and irritants in the air.
A study recently presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Annual Scientific Meeting in Louisville, KY, suggests that sexual activity may be a previously undiagnosed trigger for asthma attacks in individuals with asthma. People with asthma may not consider sexual activity as a potential cause of asthma flare-ups when thinking about forms of exercise that could trigger their asthma.
The study collected available literature on sexual intercourse as an underdiagnosed trigger for asthma exacerbations. The authors searched the PUBMED database for a variety of keywords including “sexual intercourse OR honeymoon asthma OR sexual behavior AND allergy OR allergic reaction.”
