During menstruation, both men and women should restrain themselves and strictly avoid "love". Why is this? There are mainly the following reasons:
1. Menstrual period is influenced by endocrine factors, leading to a decrease in brain excitability, 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. During menstruation, the endometrium is extensively congested. If sexual activity occurs, coupled with a series of nerve reflexes caused by sexual stimulation, 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 or incomplete menstruation, and can also exacerbate discomfort during menstruation, such as restlessness, breast pain, and lower back pain.
3. Normally, there is cervical mucus in the cervical canal, which can prevent vaginal secretions from entering the uterus and play a self-defense role. If the uterine opening is opened during menstruation, this mucus rushes out with the menstrual blood, and the endometrium is also in the process of shedding, forming a new wound on the endometrium. Sexual intercourse may inevitably bring bacteria into the female reproductive tract. If bacteria enter the uterine cavity for a long time and encounter the wound on the endometrium, it is beneficial for bacterial reproduction, which may lead to endometritis or even incurable pelvic inflammatory disease, causing pain to the female partner, Harming the health of the wife.

4. Due to extensive congestion of pelvic organs during menstruation, the ability to resist diseases and diseases will also decrease. Therefore, during sexual activity during menstruation, the chance of inducing urinary tract infections will also increase. Bacteria mixed in menstrual blood, vaginal discharge, semen or urine will cause frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, or bloody urination after retrograde invasion of the urethra.
During menstrual intercourse, it can also have adverse effects on the male body, leading to symptoms of urethral irritation, which is caused by menstrual secretions entering the male urethra. Sexual intercourse during menstruation can be inconvenient, so even during first marriages or family visits, as well as some men with strong sexual desire, it is important to control sexual impulses during the woman's menstrual period.
