What are the dangers of having sex during menstruation?

I believe many people know that women cannot have sex during their menstrual period. However, there are still many young friends who have not taken this issue seriously because they are not aware of the harm of sexual intercourse during menstruation. We are not exaggerating when we say that having sex during menstruation is harmful. It can indeed cause harm to the bodies of many women. Here are some of the dangers of having sex during menstruation.

Harm 1. During menstruation, the endometrium is exfoliated, and the alkaline menstrual blood neutralizes the acidic environment of the vagina, weakening the natural barrier function. If you do not pay attention to menstrual hygiene, or even have sex during menstruation, bacteria will be brought into the reproductive tract, which can easily cause infection and lead to female infertility.

Harm 2: Having sex during menstruation may cause the male genitals to bring bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is a good breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms. Bacteria can easily multiply and spread along the many tiny wounds and ruptured blood vessels in the endometrium, infecting the endometrium and even affecting the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, thus causing unnecessary trouble to the woman.

Harm 3. Having sex during menstruation may cause sperm to meet the damaged endometrium and overflowing blood cells, and even enter the blood, which may induce the production of anti-sperm antibodies and lead to immune infertility.

Harm 4. Having sex during menstruation can cause uterine contraction during sexual impulse and squeeze endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility.

Harm 5. Having sex during menstruation can easily cause menstrual secretions to enter the male urethra and may also cause urethritis.

All the above content is an introduction to the harm that having sex during menstruation may cause to female friends. I hope this content can serve as a warning to more young people. Having sex during menstruation will not only cause infection of the female reproductive system, but it is also likely to lead to infertility in women in their later life.
