If sexual intercourse occurs, the stimulation of sexual life will cause a series of nerve reflexes, which will cause the uterus to contract to varying degrees, further aggravating the congestion of the sexual organs. Menstruation will become irregular, manifested as increased menstrual blood volume, prolonged menstruation or continuous menstruation. It will also aggravate menstrual discomfort, such as irritability, breast swelling and pain, and lower back pain will be more obvious.

If the cervix is ​​open during menstruation, this mucus will rush out with the menstrual blood, and the endometrium will also be in the process of shedding, forming a new wound on the endometrium. Sexual intercourse may inevitably bring bacteria into the female reproductive tract. If the bacteria enter the uterine cavity and encounter the wounded endometrium, it will be conducive to bacterial reproduction, and endometritis may occur, and even pelvic inflammatory disease that is difficult to cure, causing pain to the woman and damaging the wife's health.

4. Because the pelvic organs are extensively congested during menstruation, the ability to resist diseases will also decrease. Therefore, the chance of inducing urinary tract infection during sexual intercourse during menstruation will also increase. Bacteria are mixed in menstrual blood, leucorrhea, semen or urine, and retrogradely invade the urethra, causing frequent urination, urgency, pain or hematuria.
