Why can't you have sex during your period?

Gynecologists will always warn young women to learn to protect themselves, especially not to have sex during menstruation. Why can't you have sex away from home? Women's body resistance is relatively weak during menstruation, and they are very susceptible to bacterial infection. If you have sex during menstruation, you are likely to be infected by bacteria brought in by the male reproductive organs. Therefore, it is not recommended to have sexual behavior during menstruation. Let's learn more about it in detail.

1. Why can’t you have sex during menstruation?

Can women have sex during menstruation? Since women's immunity is very low during menstruation, they are particularly susceptible to gynecological diseases. Therefore, for the health of women and the health of the next generation, women should avoid having sex during menstruation. Can women have sex during menstruation? The reasons why women cannot have sex during menstruation are:

1. The cervix opens during menstruation. Once having sex during menstruation, the insertion of the penis will cause congestion of the female genitals, resulting in increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstruation.

2. Having sex during menstruation will cause kidney deficiency and low back pain on rainy days in the future.

3. During menstruation, 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.

4. Having sex during menstruation may cause menstrual secretions to enter the male urethra and may also cause urethritis.

5. 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.

6. Having sex during menstruation may cause the uterus to contract during sexual impulse, which may squeeze endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility.

2. How many days after menstruation can I have sex?

How many days after menstruation can you have sex? From the perspective of women's health, it is best to have sex at least 3 days after menstruation. After menstruation, it takes some time for the uterus to repair. Having sex right after menstruation not only causes damage to the uterus, but also easily causes gynecological infections and even infertility. Having sex during menstruation or rushing to have sex after menstruation is not advisable. Having sex more than 3 days after menstruation can avoid:

1. Gynecological infection: After menstruation, the uterus and endometrium have not yet been repaired, and the detached endometrium is stimulated by sexual life and bleeds. At the same time, the protective acidic secretions in the female vagina are diluted by menstrual blood, and the resistance is weakened. At this time, sexual intercourse is easy to induce infection.

2. Symptoms of menstrual discomfort: Local stimulation of the uterus will increase the amount of menstruation and cause heaviness and pain in the lower abdomen. It will also prolong the duration of menstruation and aggravate the discomfort of menstruation.

3. Infertility or ectopic pregnancy: The negative pressure caused by sexual intercourse causes a large number of pathogens to be "sucked" into the fallopian tubes. The pathogens multiply in the fallopian tubes and even spread outside the uterus and into the pelvic cavity, causing pelvic inflammatory disease. Inflammation of the fallopian tubes is prone to adhesions, and in severe cases, the lumen is blocked, and sperm cannot pass through, making it difficult to conceive.
