Can you get pregnant after having sex during your period?

Everyone has normal physiological needs, and now the sexual concepts of men and women are becoming more and more open. Some young men and women have excessive physiological needs and even have sex during women's menstrual period. A common sense that everyone should know is that women should try to avoid having sex during menstruation, because having sex during menstruation may lead to gynecological diseases. But in the unavoidable case, will having sex during menstruation lead to pregnancy?

Will having sex during menstruation lead to pregnancy?

Having sex during menstruation will not cause pregnancy. It is best not to have sex during menstruation because the endometrium is shed and forms a wound, and the cervix is ​​also slightly dilated. Furthermore, due to the discharge of menstrual blood, the acidic environment in the vagina is diluted and the self-cleaning ability of the vagina is weakened. During sexual intercourse at this time, the male reproductive organs will bring in bacteria, infect the endometrium and cause pelvic inflammation, causing pain to the woman. In addition, it should be noted that even if a condom is used, sexual intercourse should not be performed during menstruation, because condoms can only prevent sperm from entering the vagina, but cannot prevent bacteria from entering the vagina, so doing so is also harmful.

In short: sexual intercourse during menstruation is harmful to women's health, and adolescent women should be especially careful. At this point, both men and women should not seek momentary pleasure and leave lifelong regrets.

The dangers of having sex during menstruation

1. Having sex during menstruation may lead to infertility

The first harm caused by sexual intercourse during menstruation is infertility. This is because sperm meets the overflowing blood cells at the damaged endometrium and even enters the blood, which can cause allergies of the immune cells during pregnancy and stimulate the body to produce anti-sperm antibodies. This antibody can exist in female cervical mucus and serum. Once the sperm antibodies come into contact with sperm again, they will stimulate the body's immune rejection reaction, thereby affecting the combination of sperm and egg.

2. The vaginal opening is prone to inflammation and swelling

If having sex during a woman's menstrual period, men should use condoms, such as double-pack condoms. This is because women's menstrual secretions will enter the male urethra and cause urethral irritation in men. 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.

3. Increased bleeding

Because menstrual blood flows out during menstruation, and when women reach orgasm during sex, their uterus contracts. If you have sexual intercourse during the first half of your period, it may cause heavy bleeding. Therefore, if you have sex at this time, you must be careful and take measures to avoid dirtying the sheets.

4. Be careful with cotton swabs

In the later stages of menstruation, the amount of bleeding will decrease. Many people think that there will be no big problem at this time, but it should be noted that if women use sanitary tampons, they should take them out before engaging in sexual intercourse. Otherwise, the tampon swab can easily be pushed deep into the uterus and rot there, which is a serious matter. You should be more careful.

5. Cause endometriosis

Menstruation is the process by which the lining of the uterus is shed and discharged from the body. If you have sexual intercourse during this period, the shed endometrium will not be able to be discharged from the vagina and may be pushed back into the abdominal cavity, causing endometriosis.
