8 major hazards of having sex during menstruation

Due to physiological reasons, women have many taboos in life. "No sex during menstruation" has always been a golden rule passed down by the older generation. So what are the dangers of having sex during menstruation? The health experts below will give you a detailed introduction, women can take a look.

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon unique to women. During the menstrual period, some changes will occur in various parts of the body. The most prominent changes are: the excitability of the cerebral cortex decreases, and the body's resistance is worse than usual. The endometrium in the genitals sheds and bleeds, the cervix opens, and the alkaline menstrual blood neutralizes the acidic environment of the vagina, reducing the acidity of the vagina and weakening the natural barrier function. Menstruation is the weakest time for women. If you don’t pay attention, it is likely to seriously damage your vitality and affect your health.

Traditional Chinese medicine says: "Having sexual intercourse before the menstrual period ends can make one sick." During the menstrual period, wounds are formed on the endometrium and the immunity of various systems decreases, which can easily lead to inflammatory infection and cause endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, etc. If you have sex during menstruation, the following adverse consequences may occur:

1. Endometriosis

Having sex during menstruation may cause uterine contraction during sexual impulse, which may cause menstrual blood to flow back into the pelvic cavity, leading to endometriosis. It may also squeeze endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility.

2. Immune infertility

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.

3. Congestion leading to prolonged menstruation

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.

4. Endometrial infection

The male reproductive organs may bring bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is a good culture medium for bacteria and other microorganisms. Bacteria can easily breed 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.

5. Causes male urethritis

Menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis.

6. Having sex with a redhead will bring bad luck

Chinese people still call menstruation "bad luck". This saying actually has two meanings. On the one hand, it refers to women, meaning it is troublesome, dirty, and shameful. On the other hand, it is relative to men, which means that if a man has sex with a woman and accidentally gets his blood from her menstrual period, he will be in trouble.

7. Unexpected pregnancy

Generally speaking, the chances of getting pregnant during menstruation are lower, but it is still possible.

8. Sexual intercourse can cause inflammation

During menstruation, women's body resistance is weaker and sexual intercourse can cause inflammation, so sexual intercourse during menstruation is not recommended.

Therefore, for the sake of the health and future of both men and women, do not make exceptions and have sex during menstruation. If necessary, you can help your husband masturbate to help him release his excessive sexual desire. So how many days after menstruation can you have sex? Experts remind you that the seven days before menstruation and eight days after menstruation are the safe period for adult women, but due to differences in physical constitution, accidents may occur.
