The Head of Amagashie Herbal Centre, Dr. Apostle Samuel Amagashie, has issued a caution to men across the country, urging them to be mindful of their sexual health and choices in the bedroom, particularly the positions they adopt during intimacy.
In an exclusive media interview, the well-known herbal practitioner and alternative health expert revealed a surprising yet serious warning—regularly engaging in the “doggy style” sexual position could increase a man’s risk of suffering a stroke.
According to Dr. Amagashie, while many couples may find the position pleasurable, it may not be the safest for men who are concerned about their long-term health and wellbeing. He explained that the posture involved in this style places excessive strain on the cardiovascular system, particularly on men who may already have underlying health issues such as high blood pressure or weak blood vessels.
“Men should consider changing their sexual positions, especially the doggy style, as it puts them at higher risk of suffering a stroke,” Dr. Amagashie stated. “The strain on the heart and blood flow to the brain during such intense physical exertion can be dangerous if not properly managed.”
Dr. Amagashie emphasized that strokes are not only caused by diet or age-related conditions but can also be triggered by physical stress during sexual activity. He warned that many men ignore the early signs of hypertension and poor circulation, only to suffer devastating consequences when triggered by extreme physical positions.
While making this cautionary statement, the herbal doctor also provided a positive outlook. He encouraged men to maintain an active sex life but to do so with moderation and wisdom. “Frequent sexual activity is good for your body, mind, and hormonal balance—but it must be done in the right way. Safer and less strenuous positions are better for maintaining blood pressure and avoiding complications,” he added.
Dr. Amagashie further advised men to seek herbal consultation and regular check-ups, especially if they experience symptoms such as chest tightness, dizziness after sex, or chronic fatigue.
He concluded by reaffirming Amagashie Herbal’s commitment to promoting holistic sexual health and wellness through natural remedies, education, and safe practices.
The caution from Dr. Amagashie adds to the growing discourse on men’s health in Ghana, especially as lifestyle-related conditions continue to rise. His message serves as both a warning and a guidepost for couples to prioritize safety, even in the most intimate aspects of their lives.
