Can I sleep with my partner during menstruation?

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon of women, which is normal. However, most women will experience some discomfort symptoms during menstruation. The body resistance of women in menstruation is usually worse than normal, especially when the vagina is open. During this period, special attention should be paid to personal hygiene, otherwise it is easy to be infected by bacteria, which is not good for women's health.

Can I sleep with my partner during menstruation?

A woman's menstrual period is about 3-7 days. General medicine requires that as long as a woman has menstrual blood during her menstrual period, it is not appropriate to have sex. From a physiological point of view, a woman's body resistance will be reduced during her period, and bacteria can easily invade, leading to genital infection and possibly causing symptoms such as endometritis and uterine ectopic, so doctors generally recommend not to share a bed.

First of all, if you have sex with a woman during her period, you will experience some adverse consequences. During menstruation, the uterus opens, and sleeping together during menstruation can cause increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation. It will also cause kidney deficiency in women and low back pain on rainy days in the future. In addition, Chinese medicine also believes that having sex during menstruation will allow sperm to enter the blood, thereby inducing the production of anti-sperm antibodies, and ultimately leading to infertility. Moreover, after having sex during menstruation, due to sexual intercourse, the uterus contracts when stimulated, which will squeeze endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and infertility.

Secondly, when women have their periods, their endometrium bleeds, part of the endometrium ruptures, and some blood vessels are open and exposed. Local stimulation during sex will increase the amount of menstruation, thereby prolonging the menstrual period and increasing the discomfort symptoms during menstruation. In addition, if they sleep together during menstruation, the woman's menstrual blood will be discharged into the man's urethra, causing symptoms of urinary tract irritation in the man. In addition, sleeping in the same bed is likely to cause bacterial infection. The endometrium during menstruation falls off and forms wounds, and the cervix is ​​also in a minimally invasive state. In addition, due to the discharge of menstrual blood, the acidic environment in the vagina is diluted and the vagina's self-cleaning ability is weakened. If the two women sleep together at this time, the male's genitals will bring in bacteria, infect the endometrium and cause pelvic inflammation, which will cause pain to women.

Sleeping together during menstruation will cause various adverse effects on both men and women. Especially for women, it is easy to cause some gynecological inflammations, such as endometritis, salpingitis, and even pelvic inflammatory disease. Moreover, sleeping in the same bed during menstruation will cause uterine contractions, which will cause menstrual blood to enter the abdominal cavity, leading to endometriosis, and thus infertility. Therefore, for the sake of your health, you should not sleep in the same bed during your period.
