What are the dangers of having sex when your period is almost over?

Due to physiological characteristics, women have menstrual periods for several days every month. Although sometimes the menstrual period is almost over, it is still during the menstrual period. Therefore, having sex during this period is also bad for women's bodies. You must wait until the menstrual period is completely over before having sex. So what are the dangers of having sex when the menstrual period is almost over? Let’s learn more about it through the following introduction.

Hazard 1: Sexual intercourse 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 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.

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.

This disease can cause adhesions between the fallopian tubes, uterus and pelvic cavity, and can also cause hypertrophy of the ovarian surface and blood retention, which can not only destroy the normal development and growth of the eggs, but also affect ovulation, ultimately resulting in infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is not advisable during menstruation.

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.

Through the above introduction, we now know the dangers of having sex when the menstrual period is about to end. Female friends should pay attention that they must not have sex during the menstrual period. The harm to women is particularly obvious, so you must pay attention during the menstrual period, and also pay attention to diet and lifestyle adjustments.
