What diseases will I get if I have sex during menstruation?

The body has many abilities to fight off disease. Under normal circumstances, the vaginal wall is closed front and back, and there is a cervical mucus plug on the side of the cervix to prevent bacteria from entering the uterine cavity and resist the occurrence of vaginitis, endometritis and other diseases. Sexual intercourse during menstruation can cause inflammation of the pelvis to spread, leading to acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, and may also lead to future infertility. It is recommended that all patients avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.

The harm of sexual intercourse during menstruation

1. During the menstrual period, the uterine wall is exfoliated, and the alkaline menstrual fluid combines the acidic and alkaline natural environment in the vagina, weakening the natural barrier function. If you do not pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, or even have sex during menstruation, you may bring bacteria into the reproductive system, which can easily cause infection and even female infertility.

2. During menstruation, the male reproductive organs may bring bacteria to the female vagina. Menstruation is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms. Bacteria are easy to grow and spread along the numerous tiny wounds and broken blood vessels in the uterine wall, infecting the uterine wall and even invading the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, causing unnecessary inconvenience to women.

3. Sexual intercourse during menstruation, because male sperm meets zinc oxide oil in the uterine wall and overflowed red blood cells, and even enters the blood, it can cause the formation of anti-sperm antibodies, thereby causing immune infertility and sterility.

4. Having sex during menstruation, because of uterine contractions during sexual excitement, the fragments of the uterine wall can be squeezed into the pelvis, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility.

5. During menstruation, sexual intercourse can easily cause menstrual secretions to enter the male urethra, which may also lead to urethritis.

Common problems during menstruation 1. It is not suitable to have sexual intercourse: During menstruation, the uterine endometrium is shed and the surface is injured.
