Is it ok to have sex once during menstruation?

You must not have sex during menstruation. Because menstrual blood is also discharged during menstruation, and menstrual blood itself is a culture medium for bacteria. If you have sex during menstruation, it is very easy to cause potential complications such as vulvovaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and endometriosis. Some women who have had sex during menstruation may continue to experience symptoms of lower abdominal pain and back pain, and may even become infertile later.

The harm of sexual intercourse during menstruation

1. Sexual intercourse during menstruation may cause infertility

The first harm caused by sexual intercourse during menstruation is infertility. This is because sperm meets the zinc oxide oil in the uterine wall and the overflowing red blood cells, and even enters the blood, which can cause cellular immune allergies and stimulate the body to produce anti-sperm antibodies. These antigens can exist in women's cervical mucus and blood cells. Once sperm antibodies come into contact with sperm again, they will trigger the body's immune rejection reaction, thereby affecting sperm and eggs.

2. The vaginal opening is prone to inflammation and swelling

If you have sex during the woman's menstrual period, the man should use a condom, such as a double-pack condom. This is because women's menstrual secretions will enter the man's urethra, causing urethral irritation in men. In addition, due to the blood, the wetness of the female vagina is greatly reduced. Vigorous sexual activity may cause inflammation and swelling of the female vaginal opening.

3. Increased bleeding

Because menstruation is also discharged during the menstrual period, and when women reach orgasm during sexual intercourse, their uterus will contract. If you have sex during the first half of your period, it may cause heavy bleeding. Therefore, if you have sex at this time, you must be careful and take measures to avoid dirtying the sheets.

4. Be careful with sanitary cotton wool sticks

When the menstrual period reaches the middle and late stages, bleeding will immediately decrease. Many people think that there will be no big problems at this time, but it should be noted that if a woman uses a sanitary cotton swab, she must take it off before having sexual intercourse. Otherwise, the sanitary cotton stick can easily be pushed to the deepest part of the uterus, and rot there, which is a serious problem and you should be more careful.

5. Cause uterine wall disease

Menstrual period is the process in which the uterine wall of a woman falls off and is discharged from the body. If you have sex during this period, the fallen uterine wall will not be able to be discharged from the vagina, or it may be pressed back into the abdomen, causing uterine wall disease.
