The harm of having sex during menstruation

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon unique to women. During the menstrual period, some changes will occur in various parts of the body. The most prominent changes are: the excitability of the cerebral cortex decreases, and the body's resistance is worse than usual. The endometrium in the genitals sheds and bleeds, the cervix opens, and the alkaline menstrual blood neutralizes the acidic environment of the vagina, reducing the acidity of the vagina and weakening the natural barrier function. If you have sexual intercourse during menstruation, the following adverse consequences will occur.

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.

Therefore, for the sake of both parties' health and common future, sexual intercourse during menstruation should be prohibited under any circumstances.
