Why do women want to have sex during menstruation?

We all know that women should not have sex during their menstrual period, but most people only think it is inconvenient, and they don't know the other reasons why women should not have sex during their menstrual period. However, some women said that they knew they should not have sex during their menstrual period, but they wanted to have sex very much during those days. What is the reason for this? Why does a woman’s sexual desire increase during menstruation? What happens if you have sex during your period?

Why does a woman’s sexual desire increase during menstruation?

Many women have stated that their desire for "that aspect" increases during their menstrual period. What is the reason for this? Women's sexual desire increases during menstruation, mainly due to a combination of physiological and psychological reasons.

First, women's pelvic congestion increases during menstruation, and pelvic congestion will also occur during sexual arousal, so it is easy to cause sexual arousal during menstruation when the pelvic congestion occurs;

Secondly, during the menstrual period, the estrogen level in women's bodies is the lowest, so the testosterone level in the body is relatively high, and testosterone is the most important substance to maintain women's sexual desire, so women's sexual desire will increase during this period;

Third, women will psychologically feel that there is absolutely no possibility of pregnancy during this period, so they will feel very safe, which will lead to the desire for sexual needs.

Women's sexual desire is actually affected by many factors, but from the above we can conclude that increased sexual desire during menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much.

Is it possible to have sex during menstruation when I have strong sexual desire? What are the adverse effects of sexual intercourse during menstruation?

Since sexual desire is strong during menstruation, can we consider ourselves and our loved ones and have sex during menstruation? The editor would like to remind everyone that even if you are very "desirable" during your menstrual period, you still have to restrain yourself. For the sake of your health, it is best not to have sex during your menstrual period. Next, let's discuss the adverse effects of sexual life during menstruation.

1. Slaughter Sheets

Yes, the most direct adverse effect of sexual intercourse during menstruation is "killing the sheets". If the time for sex happens to be the second day of the menstrual period, and the woman happens to be the "fight to the end" type, it is recommended not to have sex, as the scene may be really terrible.

2. Unexpected pregnancy

Many people think that the menstrual period is an absolutely safe period, so they do not take any contraceptive measures during sex. However, some people have a short menstrual cycle and ovulate a few days after the end of their menstrual period. Sperm can survive in the fallopian tubes for 3 days, so the sperm released during menstrual period may live until the girl ovulates. Therefore, it is possible that someone may get pregnant accidentally during menstruation, although this situation is very rare.

3. Increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstrual period

Having sex during menstruation can easily cause hematoma in the female genitals, which may increase menstrual flow and prolong menstrual period.

4. Gynecological inflammation

During intercourse, the male reproductive organs may bring bacteria into the vagina, and menstruation is particularly suitable for the growth of bacteria. Therefore, the bacteria can easily spread along the tiny wounds in the uterine wall, infect the uterine wall, and may even infect both fallopian tubes and pelvis, causing endometritis, endometriosis, adenomyosis and pelvic inflammatory disease, and in severe cases even cause infertility.

5. Immune system diseases and infertility

During menstruation, it is possible that male sperm will enter the female blood through the uterine cavity, which may cause the female to produce sperm antibodies, thus causing immune system disease and infertility.

6. Male urethritis

Sexual intercourse during menstruation not only affects women’s reproductive health, but boys are no exception. During intercourse, if a woman's menstrual secretions enter the urethra, it may cause urethritis. Of course, wearing a condom during intercourse can prevent this from happening.

In general, although sexual intercourse during menstruation is not an absolute taboo, for the sake of the health of both parties, it is recommended not to have sex during menstruation.

How many days after the menstrual period is suitable for sexual intercourse?

If you cannot have sex during menstruation, then how many days after the menstrual period is appropriate to have sex? Many people think that they can resume their sexual life when the bleeding during menstruation stops, but in fact this practice is still not good for their health. Because when the menstrual period just ends, there are still tiny wounds on the surface of the uterine wall, and the new uterine wall has not yet healed. At this time, having sex is just like having sex during menstruation, and it is still very easy to cause urinary tract infection. Therefore, it is recommended that women resume sexual life 2-3 days after the end of menstruation.
