Will having sex while menstruating cause harm to the body?

Women's physiological structure is generally more complicated, so they should know how to protect themselves in some special periods. During the menstrual period, the various structures of the body are in a special period, and the physical constitution is relatively weak during this period. Some couples may choose to have sex during menstruation in order to avoid pregnancy. In fact, this practice is very dangerous. Having sex during menstruation will cause great harm to the body.

Generally speaking it has little impact on men, but there are records of it causing some diseases, which I have heard on the radio. For women, the impact is enormous. The anatomical and physiological characteristics of the vagina and the acidic environment within the vagina serve as a natural defense barrier for the female reproductive organs, protecting them from bacterial invasion. However, during the menstrual period, the endometrium is shed and the alkaline menstrual blood neutralizes the acidic environment of the vagina, weakening the natural barrier function.

If you do not pay attention to menstrual hygiene, or even have sexual intercourse during menstruation, bacteria will be brought into the reproductive tract, which can easily cause infection. Moreover, menstrual blood is a good culture medium for bacteria and other microorganisms. There are many tiny wounds and ruptured small blood vessels in the endometrium, so bacteria can easily breed and the infection can spread easily. And it is most likely to cause female infertility. During sexual intercourse during menstruation, bacteria can easily enter the uterine cavity and cause inflammation, and may even affect the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs. Due to inflammation, it is difficult for the fertilized egg to implant, and adhesion and blockage of the fallopian tube are the direct factors causing infertility.

Therefore, having sex during menstruation is very dangerous. We must pay attention to it in life and not cause great harm to our future bodies due to our own impulses. Also, do not insert some external sex tools into the vagina during menstruation, because the vagina is very fragile, so women should pay attention to rest at this time.
