What should I do if I have sex during my period?

Some female friends will have sex during their menstrual period. In fact, it is not necessarily wrong to have sex during menstruation, but there are some potential risks. Menstruation carries a lot of microorganisms, and sexual intercourse would be harmful to both parties.

Modern medical research believes that menstrual blood does not cause any harm to men, but it is the best breeding ground for bacteria. In addition, the cervix opens during menstruation, making it easier for bacteria to enter the uterus through the cervix and cause retrograde infection.

Under normal circumstances, there are many microorganisms parasitizing in women's vagina, but the female sexual organs themselves also have the physiological function of resisting and preventing reproductive tract infections. During the menstrual period, the body's resistance to bacterial ascending infection is weakened. If sexual intercourse occurs during the menstrual period, the bacteria carried by the genitals of both parties will be encouraged to ascend, leading to ascending infection and causing inflammation of various reproductive organs.

In addition, the pelvic congestion during menstruation and the blood accumulation in the vagina and uterine cavity are good culture media for bacterial reproduction, making the infection easier to spread and worsen. Therefore, sexual intercourse during menstruation is a trigger that promotes the spread of reproductive tract infection and inflammation.

So generally speaking, you should not have sexual intercourse during menstruation. However, if you have sexual intercourse before you find your period, it is okay once or twice, as long as you keep your perineum clean afterwards. But you should not have sexual intercourse during menstruation for a long time, otherwise it is easy to get infections in the reproductive system and urinary system. Don’t worry the first time, but if you feel any physical discomfort later, you should seek medical attention in time.
