Does having sex before menstruation have any effect?

During menstruation, women's body functions will be much worse than usual. Many things that can be done at normal times cannot be done during menstruation. For example, you cannot have sex during menstruation, otherwise it will cause cross infection and induce gynecological inflammation. Some people may think that having sex before menstruation has no effect. Is this really the case? Let’s take a look at it together below.

1. It can cause reproductive system infection

When a woman has her menstrual period, the endometrium (the layer of tissue inside the uterus) peels off piece by piece. When women have sexual intercourse during their menstrual period, it is easy for bacteria around the vulva and perineum (the area between the vaginal opening and the anus) to enter the vagina, cervix and even the uterus. The bacteria grow and multiply where there is blood, causing inflammation on the spot, which is called endometritis. Not only does it cause fever and lower abdominal pain, but it also causes increased menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstruation.

2: It can cause endometriosis

Under normal circumstances, the endometrium flows out with menstrual blood during menstruation. If sexual intercourse occurs during menstruation, when the woman's excitement reaches its peak, the uterus will contract. At this time, the endometrial fragments that have fallen off the uterine cavity can enter the fallopian tubes with the pressure of uterine contractions, and then enter the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity along the fallopian tubes. No matter where they fall, they will grow on the spot, causing endometriosis.

Well, after reading the above introduction, I believe you already know that it is best not to have sex before menstruation. In addition, since menstruation is caused by the shedding of the endometrial wall, the uterus is in a relatively fragile state during menstruation. At this time, it is best not to engage in high-intensity physical labor or strenuous exercise.
