Can I have sex during menstruation?

It is a well-known fact that adult women have their periods every month, but many people still have questions: Can women still have sex when they have their periods? In fact, the answer is no. During menstruation, women's body resistance is relatively weak. If they have sexual intercourse, it is easy to cause some diseases. It is best to wait until the menstruation is over.

The three avoidance periods refer to women’s menstrual period, pregnancy period and postpartum period. During this period, women undergo great changes in their physiology and psychology. Their blood sea is empty and their resistance is low. If they are not careful in sexual activities during the third phase, various evils will take advantage of the opportunity to enter, often leading to various gynecological and obstetric diseases. Therefore, when the three periods come, you should avoid and be cautious in sexual activities, in order to control your desires and preserve your body and mind.

Having sex during menstruation is called "collision" in traditional Chinese medicine. Because the shedding of the endometrium during menstruation forms wounds, and bacteria are easily introduced during sexual intercourse, and menstrual blood is a good culture medium for bacterial reproduction, sexual intercourse during menstruation will greatly increase the possibility of infectious inflammation of the reproductive organs.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "bumping red" damages the Chong and Ren meridians, which can cause various gynecological diseases such as metrorrhagia, leucorrhea, amenorrhea, and infertility. As early as the Jin and Tang Dynasties, sexual intercourse before the end of menstruation was listed as a taboo in sex. For example, Sun Simiao's "Qian Jin Yao Fang" quoted "Huang Di Za Jin Ji Fa" and said: "If a woman has sexual intercourse before her menstruation stops, she will become ill and get leucorrhea." "Nu Ke Jing Lun" even believed that "women's rickets are caused by menstruation and sexual intercourse, which causes turbid fluid to flow into the vagina," and compiled the opinions of famous doctors of all dynasties to discuss the issue in a special article. Therefore, sexual intercourse during menstruation is taboo.

Generally speaking, women's vaginal secretions are acidic and can kill foreign bacteria. However, during menstruation, vaginal secretions are neutralized by menstrual blood and become alkaline, which becomes a good breeding ground for bacteria;

During menstruation, the endometrium sheds, leaving wounds in the uterus and the cervix slightly open, making it easy for bacteria to enter during sexual intercourse and cause inflammation of the reproductive organs. If you already have chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, sex during menstruation will cause acute symptoms. Sex during menstruation can also increase uterine congestion, causing increased menstrual blood flow, prolonged menstruation, or increased menstrual discomfort.

Some people just don't pay attention to this problem and cause some harm to women. This harm is not only physical but also psychological. Therefore, during the entire menstrual cycle, husbands should be gentle and considerate and give women some care. This will not only enhance the relationship between husband and wife, but also make sex more lasting.

After reading the above introduction, I believe you have a clearer understanding of whether you can have sex during menstruation. When your wife or girlfriend has her period, as a husband or boyfriend you should take more care of her and show more concern, and don't let yourself be unable to control yourself to have sex, so as to avoid causing harm to the woman's body.
