1. Can I have sex during menstruation?

Menstruation is the periodic phenomenon of endometrial atrophy, shedding and bleeding through the vagina. From the beginning of menstruation to menopause, which is more than 30 years, the normal period occurs on average about once every 28 days, and each period lasts 3 to 7 days. Blood accounts for about 50% of menstrual blood, and the rest is endometrial fragments, cervical mucus and vaginal exudate. During menstruation, the endometrium is wounded, the cervical opening loosens, and the mucus plug in the cervical canal falls off. In addition, menstrual blood can change the acidity of the vagina and destroy the self-cleaning function of the vagina. It is also a good culture medium for the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. All these indicate that the natural defense function of the reproductive tract of women during menstruation is significantly disturbed and the ability to defend against infection is reduced. In addition, pelvic congestion during menstruation often causes discomfort and even pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral area, or causes discomfort such as frequent urination, diarrhea, breast tenderness and mild edema. Yitongwuyou.com reminds you that these physiological changes during menstruation, coupled with changes in autonomic nervous function due to low ovarian sex hormones, often affect women's psychological activities, causing mood changes, irritability, anger, anxiety, irritability or depression, fatigue and low libido. As a result, some women regard menstruation as "bad luck".

If men and women cannot control their desire during menstruation, they should pay attention to the following points when having sexual intercourse:

① During orgasm, the uterus will contract. Therefore, if you have sexual intercourse in the first half of menstruation, it may cause heavy bleeding and stain the bed sheets.

② Men should use condoms during sexual intercourse. 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 If you still have sexual intercourse as usual during menstruation, the shed uterine membrane will not only fail to be discharged from the vagina, but may also be pushed back into the abdominal cavity, becoming the cause of endometriosis.

④ Some people replace normal sexual intercourse with anal intercourse during menstruation. If this is the case, special attention should be paid to hygiene issues. In the second half of the menstrual period, when the amount of blood is less, there should be no problem. But if a woman uses a tampon, she should remove it first. Otherwise, it may be pushed deep into the uterus due to sexual intercourse and rot there, which would be a serious matter. You should be more careful.

In short, although sexual intercourse during menstruation will not cause poisoning or "incurable disease" as rumored, it is indeed harmful to women's physical and mental health. By the same token, women should not have sexual intercourse during their vaginal bleeding period, whether it is normal, abnormal menstruation or due to any other reason, so as to avoid adverse consequences.

Yitongwuyou.com reminds you: Having sex during menstruation can easily lead to infection and is extremely harmful: (1) It can easily lead to various inflammations, such as endometritis, salpingitis, and even pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility. (2) Uterine contractions caused by sexual intercourse during menstruation can cause menstrual blood to enter the abdominal cavity, posing the risk of causing endometriosis. (3) During menstrual intercourse, some sperm and other components of semen may enter the female blood circulation through the rupture of small blood vessels, stimulate the immune system and form anti-sperm antibodies, causing immune infertility. (4) Various blood-borne diseases can be transmitted to each other. (5) Having sex during menstruation can cause increased bleeding or prolonged bleeding time.

To sum up, it is best for women not to have sexual intercourse during menstruation, otherwise the harm will be very great. Men who love their wives and girlfriends should also consider women. I hope the above content will be effective for everyone.
