Can I have sex the day before my period?

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women, usually a cycle of one month. Women must know how to protect themselves during sexual life, try to avoid having sex during menstruation, and also need to pay attention to keeping the vulva clean. Under normal circumstances, as long as women do not have sex during menstruation, most of the time there is no problem. You can have sex the day before your period, but you must not have sex during your menstruation, as it is very easy to get infected during menstruation.

The dangers of having sex during menstruation:

1. Because both parties are excited, the insertion of the penis will cause the female genitals to become congested, leading to increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstruation.

2. 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 breed 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. Menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis.

4. 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. Having sex during menstruation may cause uterine contraction during sexual impulse, which may squeeze endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility.

5 ways to take care of women during menstruation:

Daily care is important

Pay attention to rest and ensure adequate sleep, cleanse the skin with warm water 2-3 times a day. The cleansing products should be mild and preferably have a certain degreasing effect. You can also apply a layer of essence to balance oil secretion on the T-zone where there is more oil. Because the skin becomes more sensitive during menstruation and is prone to allergic reactions, you should avoid using too much cosmetics.

Pay attention to sun protection when going out

Chinese medicine gynecology experts remind us that strong sebum secretion during menstruation will not only cause sebum to block pores, but also easily form pigments, causing a large increase in black spots. During this period, the skin is easily affected by ultraviolet rays, so sun protection is particularly important.

Pay attention to the eye skin

Use cold cream to do eye massage around the eyes every night, gently draw circles around the eyes, then tap the eye sockets with your fingers and press the acupoints on the eye sockets. Wash off the cold cream after the massage. If your eyelids are swollen, soak two cotton pads in tea, then apply them on your eyelids and remove them after 10 minutes. This can eliminate eye fatigue, puffiness and dark circles during menstruation.

Traditional Chinese medicine reminds us that when taking care of your skin, one thing you must not ignore is the skin on your body, and the shower lotion you use for bathing should contain moisturizing ingredients. Maintaining a stable mood and a good state of mind is the most effective way to care for your skin. At the same time, do some aerobic exercises that can promote metabolism to avoid gaining weight unknowingly during this period.
