Is it a big deal if you have sex once during menstruation?

Is it important to have sex once during menstruation?

It is not recommended for women to have sex during their menstrual period. At this time, the blood vessels in the female uterine cavity are in a dilated state, and endometrial fragments, vaginal exfoliated cells, cervical mucus, and blood are discharged outward. If you have sex at this time, retrograde infection of the blood is likely to occur, leading to intrauterine infection. It may also damage the endometrium, increase bleeding, and harm the health of women. Therefore, it is recommended that women abstain from sexual intercourse during menstruation, pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic, keep warm, and wear loose and comfortable clothes.

The dangers of having sex during menstruation

1. During menstruation, the endometrium is shed, and the alkaline menstrual blood neutralizes the acidic environment of the vagina, weakening the natural barrier function. If you do not pay attention to menstrual hygiene, or even have sex during menstruation, bacteria will be brought into the reproductive tract, which can easily cause infection and lead to female infertility.

2. When having sex during menstruation, the male reproductive organ may bring bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is a good breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms. Bacteria can easily multiply and spread along the many tiny wounds and ruptured blood vessels in the endometrium, infecting the endometrium and even affecting the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, thus causing unnecessary trouble to the woman.

3. Having sex during menstruation may cause sperm to meet the damaged endometrium and overflowing blood cells, and even enter the blood, which may induce the production of anti-sperm antibodies, leading to immune infertility and sterility.

4. Having sex during menstruation may cause uterine contraction during sexual impulse, which may squeeze endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility.

5. Having sex during menstruation may cause menstrual secretions to enter the male urethra and may also cause urethritis.
