What happens if you have sex during menstruation?

Sexual life is something that every couple goes through. But not all times are suitable for sex. For example, women cannot have sex during their menstrual period. If you have sex again during this period, it will be extremely harmful to both men and women, especially to women. Here I will introduce to you the dangers of sexual intercourse during menstruation!

1. Prolonging women’s menstrual period

When having sex during menstruation, because both parties are in a very excited state, the penis will become congested when inserted into the female reproductive organ, causing excessive blood congestion in the uterus, which will then lead to menstrual cycle disorders and even prolong the menstrual period.

2. Causes of urethritis

If a woman has sex during her menstrual period, the menstrual secretions may enter the man's urinary tract through the penis, which can easily lead to urethritis.

3. Endometriosis

Having sex during menstruation may cause the uterus to contract due to sexual impulses. Having sex during menstruation may cause the endometrium to be squeezed into the female pelvic cavity, which may cause endometriosis. In severe cases, infertility may occur.

4. Bacterial infection

During menstruation, if you are not careful and still insist on having sex, the male reproductive organs are likely to bring some tiny bacteria into the female vagina. You should know that menstrual blood is a good basis for cultivating bacterial growth. Bacteria can easily breed under the cultivation of menstrual blood, and will also spread along the female endometrium to small blood vessels, causing infection, metritis or fallopian tube diseases.

5. Cause infertility

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. 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.

Therefore, for the sake of both parties' health and common future, do not make exceptions. Regardless of the circumstances, sexual intercourse during menstruation should be prohibited.
