Can I sleep with my partner on the first day of my period?

Menstruation is something women have to face every month. During menstruation, men should respect women and avoid sleeping in the same bed. However, many newlyweds cannot avoid having sex during this period because their passion is still there. In fact, having sexual intercourse during menstruation is very harmful, has a great impact on girls' physical health, and is very likely to cause bacterial infection. So, can you sleep in the same bed on the first day of your period?

1. Can you sleep in the same bed during menstruation?

Why can’t you have sex during menstruation? The most obvious one is that the whole body's resistance is worse than usual. During menstruation, the endometrium sheds and bleeds, the cervix opens, and the alkaline menstrual blood neutralizes the acidic environment of the vagina, reducing vaginal acidity and weakening the natural barrier function. During this period, if you have sex without protection and do not pay attention to hygiene, it will cause many gynecological diseases. In severe cases, bacteria enter the uterus and affect fertility.

If you have sex at this time, bacteria will be brought into the cervix. Menstrual blood provides a 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, thereby causing gynecological diseases to the woman. If not treated in time, she will become infertile. 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 sperm antibodies, thus affecting the fertility of both men and women. During sexual intercourse during menstruation, the female's menstrual secretions enter the male's urethra, causing urethral irritation in men. In addition, vaginal bleeding may occur at any time during menstruation, and sexual intercourse at this time can easily cause menstrual blood to be everywhere, which I'm afraid most people don't want to do. Therefore, sexual intercourse must be prohibited during menstruation. You must be aware of the seriousness of the problem and do not joke with your own body. Having sex during menstruation has no benefits but only harms. Responsible men and women should consider their future families, fully understand the seriousness of the matter, and protect themselves.

2. What to do if you have pelvic inflammatory disease

What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease? Pelvic inflammatory disease may have different clinical manifestations depending on the severity and extent of the inflammation. In mild cases, there may be no obvious symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease, or gynecological examination may only reveal cervical lifting pain, uterine body tenderness or adnexal tenderness. In severe cases, the patient may have flushed face, fever, accelerated heart rate, tenderness and rebound pain in the lower abdomen, tense abdominal muscles, and even abdominal distension, weakened or disappeared bowel sounds, etc.

Antibiotics are the main treatment for acute pelvic inflammatory disease, including multiple routes of administration such as intravenous infusion, intramuscular injection or oral administration. Broad-spectrum antibiotics should be used in combination with anti-anaerobic drugs, and attention should be paid to the adequate course of treatment. It can also be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment to achieve better results. Patients with lumps such as hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts can undergo surgical treatment; patients with small foci of infection and repeated inflammation are also suitable for surgical treatment. The principle of surgery is to completely cure the disease and avoid the chance of recurrence of residual lesions. Adnexemectomy or salpingectomy is performed. For young women, ovarian function should be preserved as much as possible. The effect of single therapy for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is poor, and comprehensive treatment is appropriate.
