How can I have sex during menstruation?

Menstruation is a natural physiological phenomenon that occurs in every female after she matures. The normal menstrual cycle occurs once a month and ends after about five to seven days. After the menstruation ends, the ovulation period occurs. Women who do not conceive during the ovulation period will have their menstrual period in the next month. So how can you have sex during the menstrual period? This may be a question that many friends want to know. Let's take a closer look.

You cannot have sex during menstruation for the following reasons:

Reason 1: Having sex during menstruation can easily lead to infection of the reproductive system

When a woman has her menstrual period, the endometrium (the layer of tissue inside the uterus) peels off piece by piece. When women have sexual intercourse during menstruation, it is easy for bacteria from around the vulva and perineum (the area between the vaginal opening and the anus) to be brought into the vagina, cervix and even into the uterus. The bacteria grow and multiply where there is blood, causing inflammation on the spot, which is called endometritis. Not only does it cause fever and lower abdominal pain, but it can also cause increased menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstruation.

Reason 2: Having sex during menstruation causes endometriosis by causing the endometrium to flow back into the pelvic cavity

Under normal circumstances, the endometrium flows out with menstrual blood during menstruation. If you have sex during your period, when the woman's excitement reaches its peak, the uterus will contract. At this time, the endometrial fragments that have fallen off the uterine cavity can enter the fallopian tubes with the pressure of the uterine contraction, and then enter the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity along the fallopian tubes. No matter where they fall, they will grow on the spot, causing endometriosis.

This disease can cause adhesions between the fallopian tubes, uterus and pelvic cavity, and can also cause hypertrophy of the ovarian surface and blood retention, which can not only destroy the normal development and growth of the eggs, but also affect ovulation, ultimately resulting in infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is not advisable during menstruation.

Reason 3: Having sex during menstruation will not result in pregnancy but may lead to gynecological diseases

During menstruation, the endometrium is exfoliated and bleeds, there are fresh wounds in the uterine cavity, the cervix opens slightly, the acidity of the vagina decreases, and the ability to defend against bacteria is greatly reduced. If you have sex at this time, bacteria will be introduced, which can easily lead to inflammation of the reproductive organs. If the inflammation of the fallopian tubes causes adhesions and blockage, it can also cause infertility. Once infected, it is easy to suffer from endometritis, endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Clinically, different symptoms may appear, such as abdominal pain, abnormal leucorrhea, changes in menstrual cycle, etc., which seriously endanger women's health and even lead to infertility. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid having sex during menstruation.

As mentioned above, you cannot have sex during menstruation. The above content also explains in detail the harm that having sex during menstruation will bring to female friends. Here I appeal to everyone, for the sake of their own health, I hope that female friends can stick to the principle of not having sex during menstruation. It will be very troublesome if they develop gynecological diseases as a result.
