What are the harms of having sex during menstruation to women?

A healthy sex life is a lubricant in the marriage life of every adult couple. When we reach the age of maturity, we will all have seven emotions and six desires, so it is understandable that we desire sex life. However, a healthy sex life needs to have a limit. Once it is excessive, it is called "indulgence". Today I will introduce to you the harms of having sex during menstruation to women.

Reason 1: Having sex during menstruation can easily lead to infection of the reproductive system

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 menstruation, it is easy for bacteria from the vulva and perineum 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.

Reason 2: Having sex during menstruation causes endometriosis by causing the endometrium to flow back into the pelvic cavity

Under normal circumstances, the endometrium flows out with menstrual blood during menstruation. If you have sex during your period, 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 the uterine contraction, 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.

Reason 3: Having sex during menstruation will not result in pregnancy but may lead to gynecological diseases

During menstruation, the endometrium is exfoliated and bleeds, there are fresh wounds in the uterine cavity, the cervix opens slightly, the acidity of the vagina decreases, and the ability to defend against bacteria is greatly reduced. If you have sex at this time, bacteria will be introduced, which can easily lead to inflammation of the reproductive organs. If the inflammation of the fallopian tubes causes adhesions and blockage, it can also cause infertility. Once infected, it is easy to suffer from endometritis, endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Clinically, different symptoms may appear, such as abdominal pain, abnormal leucorrhea, changes in menstrual cycle, etc., which seriously endanger women's health and even lead to infertility. Therefore, experts recommend avoiding sexual intercourse during menstruation.

The above introduces in great detail the harm that having sex during menstruation may cause to female friends. I hope this can help more young people. Physical health is our greatest asset, especially when we are young. We cannot do whatever we want just because we are young and ignorant, as this will bring irreversible consequences to our future health.
