Can you get pregnant if you have sex during your period?

Some people cannot bear to have sex with their partner during their menstrual period, so can we have sex during our menstrual period? The answer is of course not recommended. Although having sex during menstruation will not necessarily cause any symptoms, it will definitely have any benefits to the human body. Some people even think that if we can actually take contraceptive measures during menstruation, then, can we get pregnant if we have sex during menstruation?

Can you get pregnant during menstruation?

The probability of having sex a few days before menstruation is low, but it is not impossible to get pregnant. If a woman does not have fertility requirements, she should use contraceptive methods during sex.

Regarding the question of whether women can have sex during menstruation, the explanation of experts is: Generally speaking, the chance of getting pregnant during menstruation is lower, but it is still possible to get pregnant. Also, during menstruation, women's body resistance is weaker, and sexual intercourse may cause inflammation, so sexual intercourse during menstruation is not recommended. Therefore, it is recommended not to have sex during menstruation.

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon unique to women. During the menstrual period, some changes occur in various parts of the human body. The most prominent change is: the fluid regulation of the cerebral cortex decreases, and the body's resistance is weaker than usual. The uterine wall in the sexual organ falls off and bleeds. Once the cervix opens, the alkaline menstrual blood in the body will neutralize the acidic and alkaline environment in the female friend's vagina. The acidity in the female friend's vagina is reduced, and the natural barrier function is weakened.

If you have sex during your menstrual period, the following adverse effects may occur:

1. Heavy menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period

Because both parties are very excited at this time, once the male penis enters, the woman's genitals will swell instantly, causing her menstrual flow to increase and her menstrual period to be delayed.

2. Uterine wall infection

During intercourse at this time, the male reproductive organs may bring bacteria into the female vagina. Menstruation is an excellent culture medium for bacteria and other microorganisms, and bacteria are very easy to grow. Along the uterine wall, there will be many very tiny wounds and broken small blood vessels that will further spread outward, infecting the female's uterine wall, and may even invade the fallopian tubes on both sides and the female's pelvic organs, causing unnecessary inconvenience and harm to women.
