Can I have sex when my aunt comes?

During menstruation, a woman's cervix is ​​slightly open, allowing the menstrual blood to be discharged cleanly. But on the other hand, this also has certain harm to women. During this period, women are very susceptible to infection, so they need to pay attention to menstrual hygiene and change their underwear and sanitary napkins frequently. What is more important to note is that women should not have sexual intercourse during menstruation, otherwise it is easy to cause infection and cause inflammation of the cervix.

Menstrual sex refers to sexual intercourse between men and women during a woman's menstrual period, which was called "zhuanghong" in ancient times.

Having sex during menstruation can easily cause gynecological diseases such as endometritis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and in severe cases, lead to infertility.

If you have sex during menstruation, the following adverse consequences will occur: First, due to the excitement of both parties, the insertion of the penis will cause the female genitals to become congested, resulting in increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation; second, during sexual intercourse at this time, the male genitals may bring bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is a good breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms. Bacteria are very easy to breed and spread along the many tiny wounds and ruptured small blood vessels in the endometrium, infecting the endometrium and even affecting the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, thus causing unnecessary trouble to the female; third, menstrual secretions enter the male urethra and may also cause urethritis; fourth, during menstruation, because sperm meets the spilled blood cells at the damaged endometrium and even enters the blood, it can induce the production of anti-sperm antibodies, thus leading to immune infertility and sterility. Fifth, during menstruation, due to the contraction of the uterus during sexual impulse, endometrial fragments can be squeezed into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility [1]. Therefore, for the physical health and reproductive health of both parties, it is necessary to master scientific knowledge about sex.

During menstruation, the endometrium sheds to form a wound, and the cervix is ​​also slightly dilated. Furthermore, due to the discharge of menstrual blood, the acidic environment in the vagina is diluted and the self-cleaning ability of the vagina is weakened. During sexual intercourse at this time, the male reproductive organ will bring in bacteria, infect the endometrium and cause pelvic inflammation, causing pain to the woman. Moreover, even if you use a condom, you cannot have sexual intercourse because condoms can only prevent sperm from entering the vagina, but cannot prevent bacteria from entering the vagina, so doing so is also harmful.

Most couples are able to abstain from sex during menstruation. However, people often do not pay much attention to the time to resume sexual life after menstruation. Many people take it for granted that they can resume sexual life after menstrual bleeding stops. Little do people know that such practice is detrimental to women's reproductive health. When a woman's menstruation just stops, there are still broken blood vessels and glandular ducts on the surface of her uterine cavity, and the tiny blood vessels are still bleeding. The new endometrium has just begun to grow, and the surface is not yet covered with epithelium. At this time, the wound in the uterine cavity is like the skin with epidermal abrasions. Although it has stopped bleeding, it has not yet completely regenerated and repaired.

Therefore, experts suggest that it is better to have sex three days after menstruation. Because at this time, the wound caused by the shedding of the endometrium has healed, and the acid-base environment of the vagina has also been adjusted. Having sex at this time will reduce the incidence of inflammation. If you have sex right after your period, the wound on the endometrium may not have healed completely, and the vagina is still in a weak alkaline environment. The vagina has poor resistance, making it easy for pathogens to enter the vagina, into the uterine cavity, and even into the fallopian tubes, leading to infertility. Therefore, it is best to wait three days after your period ends before having sex[2].
