What happens if you have sex during your period?

The consequences of having sex during menstruation are very serious. Due to the shedding of the endometrium, the female reproductive tract is very fragile during this period. If disturbed by the outside world, the endometrium may not recover quickly, resulting in prolonged menstruation, frequent bleeding, and even severe pain. Not only will you not be able to enjoy the pleasure of sex, but it will also cause damage to your body. So, what happens if you have sex during your period?

1. The harm of having sex during menstruation

1. Because both parties are excited, the insertion of the penis will cause the female genitals to become congested, leading to increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstruation.

2. During sexual intercourse at this time, the male reproductive organ may bring bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is a good culture medium for bacteria and other microorganisms. Bacteria can easily breed 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. Menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis.

4. 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.

5. 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.

2. How many days after menstruation can you have sex?

1. You can have sex 3 days after your menstruation is over, but pay attention to the hygiene of both parties.

2. Compared with usual times, some changes will occur in the body during menstruation. First of all, the menstrual period is affected by endocrine system, which reduces the excitability of cerebral cortex and immunity, making it easy to get infected and induce diseases. Secondly, the reproductive organs are more susceptible to infection and inflammation than usual at this time because the pelvic cavity is congested during menstruation and some wounds are formed in the uterine cavity when the endometrium is shed. The cervix is ​​normally tightly closed, but opens slightly during menstruation, making it easy for germs to invade. Moreover, menstruation can promote the growth and reproduction of pathogens. Therefore, if you do not pay attention to self-care during menstruation, or do not handle your daily life properly, you are prone to acute and chronic gynecological diseases, and even affect your fertility.

3. Having sex too early after menstruation has a great impact on women's physical health, so you must wait until the uterus fully recovers before resuming sexual life.

4. A healthy sex life means that both parties can be satisfied, and it is best if it does not affect work and study the next day. It is recommended not to have sex within one or two days after menstruation, as it may cause menstruation to return.
