Count the harms of having sex during menstruation

Why can't women have sex during menstruation? What harm will it cause? This is not only a must-learn for every woman, but also a course that every married man must take. So what are the harms of having sex during menstruation for women? Let us learn about it together.

Heavy menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstrual period

During sexual intercourse, since both parties are in an excited state, the insertion of the male penis will cause the female genitals to become congested, leading to increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstrual period.

During sexual intercourse during menstruation, the male reproductive organs 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.

For men, menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis.

When women are menstruating, due to damage to the reproductive tract mucosa, if they have sexual intercourse, it will be easy for sperm and its antigens to enter the blood, and sperm will come into contact with immune cells, which will open the door for ASAb (anti-sperm antibodies) to be produced in women's bodies.

Once this antibody is produced in a woman's body, it will cause the sperm injected into the body to agglutinate during sexual intercourse, making it impossible to conceive. This condition is called immune infertility. Clinical investigations have found that infertility patients related to immunological factors account for approximately 10%-30% of the total infertility cases.
