What happens when you have sex during menstruation

Anyone with common sense should know that women should not have sex during menstruation. Although the chance of getting pregnant during menstruation is zero, the uterus is open to the outside during menstruation. If you have sex at this time, it is easy for bacteria to enter the vagina and uterus, which can easily cause endometritis, cervical erosion and other diseases. Therefore, having sex during menstruation poses a great threat to women's bodies. So what will happen if you have sex during menstruation?

Having sex during menstruation is absolutely harmful and useless, and can easily lead to infections and various inflammations of the sexual organs.

(1) Under normal circumstances, there are many microorganisms parasitic in women's vagina, but the female sexual organs themselves also have the physiological function of resisting and preventing reproductive tract infections. During the menstrual period, the body's resistance to bacterial ascending infection is weakened. If sexual intercourse occurs during the menstrual period, the bacteria carried by the genitals of both parties will be encouraged to ascend, leading to ascending infection and causing inflammation of various reproductive organs. In addition, the pelvic congestion during menstruation and the blood accumulation in the vagina and uterine cavity are good culture media for bacterial reproduction, making the infection easier to spread and worsen. Therefore, sexual intercourse during menstruation is a trigger that promotes the spread of reproductive tract infection and inflammation.

(2) During menstruation, the endometrium is in an exposed bleeding state, forming a wide wound surface. At this time, the body's disease resistance is poor. In addition, due to the retention of menstrual blood, bacteria can easily enter the body and provide a good breeding environment. When the bacterial growth capacity is greater than the body's disease resistance, endometritis, salpingitis, fallopian tube obstruction and other diseases are likely to occur one after another. When women are menstruating or have uterine bleeding or endometritis, due to damage to the reproductive tract mucosa, if they insist on having sexual intercourse, it will open the door for sperm and its antigens to enter the blood and sperm to come into contact with immune cells, making it easier for them to produce ASAb, or anti-sperm antibodies.

1. Men should use condoms during sexual intercourse. In addition, due to the blood, the lubrication in the vagina is greatly reduced. Intense sexual intercourse may cause inflammation and swelling of the female vaginal opening.

2. Some people replace normal sexual intercourse with anal intercourse during menstruation. If this is the case, special attention should be paid to hygiene issues.

3. During orgasm, the uterus will contract. Therefore, if you have sexual intercourse in the first half of menstruation, it may cause excessive bleeding and stain the bed sheets.

4. If you still have sexual intercourse as usual during menstruation, the shed uterine membrane will not only fail to be discharged from the vagina, but may also be pushed back into the abdominal cavity, becoming the cause of endometriosis.
