What are the dangers of having sex during menstruation?

During the menstrual cycle, the vulva's resistance to bacteria is very weak. At this time, special attention should be paid to hygiene and the vulva should be protected as much as possible. If sexual intercourse occurs during menstruation, it may cause a lot of discomfort to women's health, such as irregular menstruation. The following editor will introduce some of the more obvious hazards of sexual intercourse during menstruation to the health of women.

1. Endometriosis. The endometrium is a thin membrane inside the uterine cavity. This membrane grows as the egg matures. In the absence of conception, the endometrium will necrotize and fall off, forming menstruation, and the shed endometrium is discharged from the body with the menstruation. If you have sex during your period, the endometrium may be brought to other parts of the uterus. Once it grows outside the uterus, it will form endometriosis.

2. Inflammation in women. During menstruation, the cervix is ​​open, and there are many tiny wounds and ruptured blood vessels on the endometrium. The body's immunity is reduced. If you have sex at this time, bacteria will enter the female vagina along the male's genitals. If it spreads further and infects the endometrium, it will cause gynecological inflammation such as uterine inflammation and pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Immune infertility. When having sex during menstruation, sperm meets the damaged endometrium and overflowing blood cells. If they enter the blood, they will induce the production of sperm antibodies in the female body, leading to immune infertility. When you really want to get pregnant, the sperm cannot combine with the egg. Once you suffer from immune infertility, it will be difficult to treat.

If you have sex during menstruation, the following adverse consequences may occur:

Due to the excitement of both parties, the insertion of the penis will cause the female genitals to become congested, leading to increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period.

During sexual intercourse at this time, the male reproductive organ may bring bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is a good culture medium for bacteria and other microorganisms. Bacteria can easily multiply and spread along the many tiny wounds and ruptured blood vessels in the endometrium, infecting the endometrium and even affecting the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, thus causing unnecessary trouble to the woman.

Menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis.

Having sex during menstruation may cause sperm to meet the damaged endometrium and overflowing blood cells, and even enter the blood, which may induce the production of anti-sperm antibodies, leading to immune infertility and sterility.

Having sex during menstruation can cause uterine contraction during sexual impulses, which can squeeze endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility.

Therefore, it is best not to have sexual intercourse during the menstrual period, and at the same time, you should pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. Try to wash it with clean water every day, and replace sanitary napkins in time to minimize the growth of bacteria on the vulva. You can also practice yoga moderately, which will be very helpful in improving some discomforts caused by menstruation.
