Can I have sex with a condom during my period?

Menstruation, also known as the physiological cycle, occurs among women of reproductive function. The pelvic congestion that women experience during their menstrual period is similar to the pelvic congestion during sexual stimulation, so it is normal for women to have an increased sexual desire during their menstrual period. And because there is no possibility of pregnancy during the menstrual period, many people want to have sex using condoms during their menstrual period. So, is it possible to have sex with condoms during the menstrual period?

It is best for women not to have sex during their menstrual period. Sexual intercourse during menstruation can cause a lot of harm to women. The following are the facts.

1. Cause urinary tract infection. When a woman has her first menstruation, the uterine wall will fall off and the uterus is relatively sterile. If a woman has sex during her menstrual period, it is easy to bring surrounding bacteria into the vagina, cervix and even the uterus. Blood is an excellent culture medium for bacteria. If the bacteria grow and multiply here in large quantities, women are very likely to develop endometritis, which manifests as increased menstrual flow, abdominal pain, fever and other symptoms.

2. Cause gynecological diseases. During menstruation, the uterine wall of women will peel off and bleed, so there will be some fresh wounds in the uterus of women, and the acidity in the vagina of women will decrease to a certain extent during menstruation, and the ability to resist pathogens will be greatly reduced. If women have sex at this time, the bacteria will be brought to the uterus, which may cause salpingitis, endometritis, endometriosis and even pelvic inflammatory disease. When gynecological diseases occur, women will show changes in menstrual cycle and abnormal leucorrhea. If the infection is serious, women will also have systemic symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, and general weakness, which seriously threaten women's reproductive health. Therefore, it is not recommended to have sex during menstruation.

3. Aggravate the discomfort symptoms during menstruation. Many women experience varying degrees of lower abdominal pain during their menstrual period, and when part of the uterine wall falls off during the first menstruation, the cervix stretches slightly. At this time, sexual intercourse can cause damage to the uterine wall, aggravate the distension and pain in the lower abdomen of women, and prolong the menstrual period.

Generally speaking, it is harmful to women to have sex during menstruation. Women should resume sexual life two to three days after the menstruation is over, which will not harm their reproductive health. Women should pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, prevent infection, and change underwear frequently. In addition, women can eat more blood-replenishing foods during menstruation, such as dates, donkey-hide gelatin cakes, and fungus. Because the body will lose a lot of iron while losing too much blood during menstruation, women can also eat more iron-rich foods during their menstrual period. They can eat more spinach, kelp and beef liver on a regular basis.
