Why are women more vulnerable to injury when having sex during menstruation?

The normal female reproductive organs have multiple defense barriers. The first one is in the vagina. The second line of defense is the cervix. The third line of defense is the endometrium of the uterine cavity. During menstruation, the endometrium of women is shed and the attached bacteria are also "flushed out" of the uterine cavity. These three lines of defense will be temporarily withdrawn during the menstrual period. After the endometrium is peeled off, not only will a huge wound surface be left, but the menstrual blood flow will replace the mucus plug of the cervix, and the acidic environment of the vagina will also be replaced by the menstrual blood. Therefore, the menstrual period is when women’s resistance is the weakest. Having sex during the menstrual period can easily lead to infection with bacteria and induce various gynecological diseases. It is not recommended for women to have sex during the menstrual period.
