What are the dangers of having sex during menstruation? Why not have sex during menstruation?

Women should not have sex during their menstrual period. During menstruation, the uterus contracts during sexual intercourse, which can squeeze endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility.

In our real life, there are often some couples who have sex during menstruation. What are the harms of having sex during menstruation? Today, the editor will answer them one by one. Friends who want to know can take a look.

What are the dangers of having sex during menstruation

I believe everyone knows that women cannot have sex during menstruation. So what are the dangers of having sex during menstruation?

1. Heavy menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstrual period

Because both parties are excited, the entry of the penis will cause the female genitals to become congested, leading to increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstrual period.

2. Endometrial infection

If having sex 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 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.

3. Causes male urethritis

If you have sex during menstruation, the female menstrual secretions will enter the male urethra, causing male urethritis.

4. Cause infertility

During menstruation, sperms can meet the blood cells spilled from the damaged endometrium and even enter the blood, which can induce the production of anti-sperm antibodies, leading to immune infertility. During menstruation, due to the contraction of the uterus during sexual intercourse, endometrial fragments can be squeezed into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility.

Reasons for not having sex during menstruation

1. Because the uterus contracts during sexual impulse, endometrial fragments may be squeezed into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis, which can also lead to infertility.

2. Harm to men: if menstrual secretions enter the male urethra, it may also cause male urethritis.

3. During sexual intercourse during menstruation, the female reproductive organs will be congested for a long time, resulting in increased menstrual blood and prolonged menstruation.

4. The female immune system itself has antigenicity to sperm. Under normal circumstances, sperm will combine with the egg or be excreted from the body before contacting the immune system, so it will not stimulate women to produce anti-sperm antibodies. However, if women have sex during menstruation, it will cause them to produce anti-sperm antibodies.

5. The male reproductive organs may bring bacteria into the vagina. Pathogenic bacteria will multiply in large numbers in the menstrual blood, spread along the many tiny wounds and ruptured blood vessels in the endometrium, infect the endometrium, and even adhere to the surface of sperm to enter the fallopian tube, causing inflammation. Fallopian tube inflammation is very harmful. Severe cases can cause blockage of the fallopian tube itself. Sperm cannot pass through the blocked area to reach the outer section of the fallopian tube, and the egg waiting here cannot be fertilized, causing infertility. Even if the fallopian tube is less blocked, sperm can squeeze through the slit to reach the outer section of the fallopian tube to fertilize the egg, but after the fertilized egg grows, it will be more than ten times larger than the sperm. It cannot pass through the slit to enter the uterine cavity and can only attach to the fallopian tube. This is an ectopic pregnancy.
