Can I have sex during my menstrual period?

Nowadays, many couples face many problems when it comes to having sex. Women are particularly special. For example, they have menstruation every month, they face fertility issues, they are in confinement, etc. During these special periods, sexual intercourse becomes a problem. Some women still have sex during their menstruation. Is this really good for their bodies? So, let’s talk about the question of whether women can have sex during their menstrual period.

Avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation. Because wounds are formed on the endometrium during menstruation and the immunity of various systems decreases, it is easy to cause inflammatory infection, resulting in endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, etc. In addition, when a woman is sexually excited, uterine contractions may cause menstrual blood to flow back into the pelvic cavity, causing implantation of the endometrium and leading to endometriosis. Endometriosis may affect pregnancy, so it is necessary to avoid having sex during menstruation.

If you have sex during menstruation, if the infectious bacteria are highly virulent, they may spread through the lymphatic vessels of the endometrium to the outside of the uterus and enter the pelvic cavity, causing acute adnexitis (including the fallopian tubes and ovaries) and pelvic peritonitis, which may cause fever, abdominal pain, and may also affect future fertility. Once the fallopian tubes become inflamed, adhesions may occur. In severe cases, the lumen of the tubes may be blocked, and conception may be impossible as sperm cannot pass through. Therefore, women should not have sex during menstruation.

Since women's body resistance is weak during menstruation, sexual intercourse can cause the reproductive system to be susceptible to infection, endometrium to flow back into the pelvic cavity causing endometriosis, and cause women to be unable to get pregnant. Therefore, it is not recommended to have sexual intercourse during menstruation.

In fact, there is an official medical explanation for the question of whether women can have sex during their menstrual period. It is best for women not to have sex during menstruation, because menstruation is a process of detoxification. Having sex with others at this time is very easy to get infected, and may even cause more serious problems, so it is not recommended to have sex during menstruation.
