Can I have sex during menstruation?

During menstruation, women have lower resistance and are particularly prone to gynecological diseases. Therefore, for their own health and the health of the next generation, women should avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.

Can Sexual Intercourse Be Done During Menstruation?

1. During menstruation, the endometrium of women sheds, resulting in menstrual blood flow. This indicates that the shedding and repair of the endometrium have not been completed. If sexual intercourse is conducted at this time, it will cause congestion of the sexual organs and increase bleeding.

2. If sexual intercourse is performed during menstruation, it can lead to squeezing, which can easily cause menstrual blood to flow backwards or squeeze endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, increasing the risk of endometriosis.

3. If sexual intercourse occurs during menstruation, women's menstrual secretions can enter the male urethra, causing urethral irritation in men. Moreover, bleeding during menstruation can affect the quality of sexual life and cause psychological barriers for both parties.

Hazards of Sexual Intercourse During Menstruation

1. Cause inflammation and lead to gynecological diseases. During normal sexual intercourse, the penis can carry bacteria to the vagina, but the acidic environment in the vagina is unfavorable for bacterial reproduction and will eliminate bacteria. However, during menstruation, due to the discharge of menstrual blood, the acidic environment in the vagina is diluted and resistance is weakened. Additionally, blood contains rich nutrients, allowing bacteria to multiply rapidly. During menstruation, the endometrium sheds to form wounds, and the cervix is also slightly open.

2. Cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy. Sexual intercourse during menstruation can create negative pressure that allows a large number of pathogenic bacteria to be "sucked" into the fallopian tubes. The pathogenic bacteria multiply in the fallopian tubes, causing inflammation, swelling, necrosis, and suppuration.

3. Due to excitement on both sides, the penis entering can cause congestion of the female reproductive organs, leading to increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period.

4. Menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis.

5. For men, sexual intercourse during menstruation can easily lead to gynecological diseases and immune infertility, which can have a profound impact on future sexual happiness and family life. Furthermore, when menstrual secretions enter the male urethra, it can cause urethritis.
