What are the dangers of having sex during menstruation?

I believe every couple will encounter the problem of having sex during menstruation. Generally speaking, they may be more concerned and choose to sleep separately. But sometimes you may not be able to control yourself, and sex is inevitable. In fact, sexual intercourse during menstruation is extremely harmful to the body. The editor will explain all the impacts below, and everyone must read it in detail.

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon unique to women. During the menstrual period, the excitability of the cerebral cortex decreases and the body's resistance is weaker than usual. The endometrium in the genitals sheds and bleeds, the cervix opens, and the alkaline menstrual blood neutralizes the acidic environment of the vagina, reducing the acidity of the vagina and weakening the natural barrier function. If you have sex during menstruation, the following adverse consequences may occur:

1. It causes increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstrual period. Due to the excitement of both parties, the insertion of the penis will cause the female genitals to become congested, leading to increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period.

2. Bacterial infection. During sexual intercourse at this time, the male reproductive organ may bring bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is a good culture medium for bacteria and other microorganisms. Bacteria can easily multiply and spread along the many tiny wounds and ruptured blood vessels in the endometrium, infecting the endometrium and even affecting the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, thus causing unnecessary trouble to the woman.

3. Cause urethritis. Menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis.

4. It causes immune infertility and sterility. Having sex during menstruation may cause sperm to meet the damaged endometrium and overflowing blood cells, and even enter the blood, which may induce the production of anti-sperm antibodies, leading to immune infertility and sterility.

5. Endometriosis. Having sex during menstruation can cause uterine contraction during sexual impulses, which can squeeze endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility.

Generally speaking, having sex during a woman's menstrual period will endanger the health of both parties, so it is important to strictly avoid it in normal times, especially for newlyweds. At the same time, the editor would like to remind all female friends to take good care of themselves during menstruation and to change sanitary napkins and other hygiene products frequently to prevent adverse effects.
