It is a normal physiological phenomenon for individuals to experience sexual impulses as they enter puberty and gradually mature sexually. Harmonious marital life after marriage can also enhance the relationship between husband and wife, nourish marital life, and is also a necessary activity for giving birth to a baby. However, there are also some limitations to marital life. So, can we have sex occasionally during menstruation?
Women should try not to have sexual intercourse during their menstrual period. Having sexual intercourse during menstruation not only poses a lot of harm to oneself, but also carries certain risks for men. For women, having sexual intercourse during menstruation may lead to more severe uterine congestion due to sexual stimulation, resulting in longer periods and more blood loss. Moreover, the male penis may introduce some bacteria, while women have weak resistance during menstruation and are easily susceptible to bacterial invasion.
At the same time, during menstruation, if a woman has sexual intercourse and accidentally ruptures the uterus or vagina, it may come into contact with blood cells and male semen, leading to the production of sperm antibodies in the female body and ultimately causing infertility. Having sexual intercourse during menstruation may also cause foreign objects to enter the pelvic cavity, leading to endometriosis and infertility.
In addition, having sexual intercourse during menstruation may also affect men's health. During sexual intercourse, if a woman's secretions and menstrual blood enter the male urethra through the glans, it can cause urinary tract infections, such as urethritis.
