What are the consequences of having sex during menstruation? Menstrual sex can lead to 7 negative consequences

Generally, the probability of pregnancy during menstruation is relatively low, but it is also possible to become pregnant. Additionally, during menstruation, women's body resistance is weak, and sexual activity can cause inflammation. Sexual activity during menstruation is not recommended. Let's follow the editor to learn more.

What are the hazards of menstrual sex

1. Causing sexual apathy in women

The menstrual period is influenced by endocrine factors, leading to a decrease in brain excitability and often accompanied by mild fatigue, depression, or irritability. Generally, women are also unwilling to have sexual intercourse during this period.

Even during sexual intercourse, it is often difficult to obtain pleasure due to emotional influence, and over time, it is also one of the reasons for women's frigidity.

2. Reproductive system infection

If the bacterial virulence of the infection is strong, it may also spread to the outside of the uterus through the lymphatic vessels of the endometrium, entering the pelvic cavity, causing acute adnexitis (including fallopian tubes and ovaries) and pelvic peritonitis, which not only causes fever and abdominal pain, but may also affect future fertility.

Once the fallopian tubes become inflamed, adhesion can occur. In severe cases, the lumen is blocked, and sperm cannot pass through, preventing conception.

3. Reduced resistance to diseases

Due to extensive congestion of pelvic organs during menstruation, the ability to resist diseases also decreases. Therefore, during sexual activity during menstruation, the chances of inducing urinary tract infections also increase. Bacteria mixed in menstrual blood, vaginal discharge, semen or urine, and retrograde invasion of the urethra can lead to frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, or bloody urination.

4. Irregular menstruation

During menstruation, the endometrium is extensively congested. If sexual activity occurs, coupled with a series of nerve reflexes caused by the stimulation of sexual activity, it can cause varying degrees of uterine contraction, exacerbating congestion in the sexual organs. Menstruation becomes irregular, manifested as an increase in menstrual blood volume, prolonged menstruation, or incomplete menstruation. It can also exacerbate discomfort during menstruation, such as restlessness, breast pain, and lower back pain.

5. Endometriosis

If the woman experiences sexual activity during menstruation, when the excitement reaches its peak, the uterus will contract. At this time, endometrial fragments that have already fallen off in the uterine cavity can enter the fallopian tubes with the pressure of uterine contraction, enter the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity along the fallopian tubes, and no matter where they fall and grow locally, endometriosis will occur.
