Can I have sex during my menstrual period?

There are many newlyweds who have frequent sex after marriage, and even cannot help themselves during the wife's menstruation, which leads to a series of problems. Many newlywed men do not have a full understanding of women's menstrual period, or lack certain physiological knowledge. So, is it okay to have sex during the menstrual period? What should we pay attention to? Let me give you a detailed introduction!

During the menstrual period, women's resistance to retrograde infection is weakened due to low sex hormone levels, exposed endometrial wounds, blood loss, and dissolution of cervical mucus plugs. In this case, sexual intercourse after the menstrual period may promote the upward movement of pathogens that can be carried by the genitals of both parties through the pushing and pulling effects, leading to reproductive system infection. Frequent sexual intercourse during menstruation can lead to huge pelvic abscesses. Therefore, maintaining hygiene during menstruation is beneficial to women's health. Avoiding sexual intercourse during menstruation can effectively reduce infections of the reproductive organs.

If you usually have gynecological diseases or excessive menstrual flow, it is best not to have sexual intercourse during menstruation.

From a physiological point of view, women's body resistance will decrease during menstruation, bacteria can easily invade, and may cause symptoms such as endometritis and metriosis, so doctors generally recommend not to have sexual intercourse. However, things are not completely so absolute. Appropriate sex life is still possible, but you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Try not to choose the first two days of your period when you have heavy bleeding.

2. Beforehand, the man should clean his genitals.

3. During sexual intercourse, men should use condoms, be gentle, and keep the duration as short as possible.

4. Afterwards, the woman should immediately rinse her vagina with clean water.

On the positive side, regular sex helps stabilize the menstrual cycle. If you have sex at least once a week for more than three months, your menstrual cycle will be more stable than others.

In addition, although generally speaking you will not get pregnant if you have sex during your menstrual period, from a hygiene point of view, it is better to use condoms.

Now, you can safely enjoy your wonderful sex life as long as you take protective measures, and don’t let your “holiday” become your “holiday”.

After reading the above introduction, I believe you have a certain understanding of the things you should pay attention to during menstruation. It is best not to have sex during menstruation, because it can easily lead to some gynecological diseases. As a husband, you must know how to care for your wife. In the later stage of menstruation, when the flow is small, you must pay attention to hygiene when having sex and the movements should not be too intense.
