Can having sex during menstruation lead to pregnancy?

Young people nowadays are very energetic, so sometimes they choose to have sex with their girlfriends during menstruation. Many girls have this doubt, thinking that if they have sex during menstruation without taking any contraceptive measures, they may get pregnant, but the answer is no. Now let the editor explain it to you!

Generally speaking, the chance of pregnancy during menstruation is small, but pregnancy is still possible. Also, during menstruation, women's body resistance is weak, and sexual intercourse can cause inflammation. If the infecting bacteria is very virulent, it may spread to the outside of the uterus through the lymphatic vessels of the endometrium and enter the pelvic cavity, causing acute adnexitis (including fallopian tubes and ovaries) and pelvic peritonitis, which may cause fever, abdominal pain, and may also affect future fertility. Once the fallopian tubes become inflamed, adhesions may occur. In severe cases, the lumen of the tubes may be blocked, and conception may be impossible as sperm cannot pass through. Sexual intercourse during menstruation is not recommended. Therefore, it is recommended not to have sexual intercourse during menstruation.

Women have their period every month because they ovulate once a month. The sperm and egg combine to develop into an embryo, and after ten months of gestation, a baby is born. If the sperm and egg cannot combine, the egg cannot survive in the uterus for a long time (about three days) and will be expelled from the body with the shedding of the endometrium. This is what people often call menstruation. A woman's ovulation period is generally between two menstrual cycles, and the other periods are safe periods. The chance of getting pregnant during the safe period is relatively low.

Therefore, women cannot get pregnant if they have sex during their menstrual period. But as the editor just said, if you have sex during menstruation, you may get various gynecological diseases, which is very bad for girls' bodies. So you must pay attention during menstruation, not only to protect your body, but also to avoid sexual intercourse. Take care of your own health.
