Can Frequent Sex Cause Irregular Menstruation? What is the Relationship between Abnormal Menstrual Period and Sexual Life
1、 Can frequent sexual activity lead to irregular menstruation
Women's menstrual cycle is influenced by many factors, in addition to gynecological diseases, some lifestyle habits may also change its cycle, duration, and quantity. But perhaps few women realize that marital life can also affect menstruation.
Through the correspondence analysis between the Menstrual cycle and the frequency of sexual intercourse, it is found that: for women without sexual behavior, the Menstrual cycle tends to be less than 20 days; The frequency of sleeping with partners is more than 5 times a week, and the Menstrual cycle is more than 37 days; The Menstrual cycle of women who slept with their partners less than 5 times a week tended to be 21-36 days.
Seeing this data, many women may be surprised: can frequent married life prolong the Menstrual cycle? Actually, it's not entirely true. Normal sexual activity does not affect menstruation, but excessive sexual activity carries a greater risk of infection and inflammation. Too frequent sex life may increase the risk of local inflammation, and once inflammation occurs, such as pelvic inflammation, Endometritis, etc., it will lead to poor blood circulation in the uterus, or pelvic congestion, leading to prolonged Menstrual cycle.
2、 Frequent sexual intercourse, be careful of your vaginal health
Sexual intercourse is a very sweet and stimulating thing, but everything should be done in a certain way. Frequent sexual intercourse can harm a woman's reproductive system health. Because the female vagina is in an acidic environment, the penis is relatively alkaline, and with the addition of external bacteria, the pH value of the vagina will greatly soar after every sexual activity, leading to private infections.
The vagina is a stable acidic environment
Healthy women's vaginas are in an acidic environment (pH range of 3.8-4.4), which is maintained by the dominant bacterium Lactobacillus producing lactic acid to inhibit the growth of other bacteria. Anatomically speaking, the vagina is connected to the outside world, but the upper part of the vagina is wide and the lower part is narrow, which means the outlet part is actually narrow, and the vaginal wall is usually relatively close. So, the vagina is actually relatively isolated from the outside world, maintaining a relatively stable acidic environment.
Compared to the acidic environment of the vagina, the male penis tends to be alkaline because the epidermis of the penis is the skin rather than the mucosa, and the pH value of the skin is approximately 5.5. Therefore, compared to the vagina, the penis tends to be alkaline. In addition, the penis is tightly wrapped. Sweat and men's "informality" often lead to a large number of bacteria breeding in the penis. These bacteria are not lactobacilli that the vagina likes to produce lactic acid, but pathogenic bacteria that cause Vaginitis.
