Generally speaking, it is not allowed to have sexual intercourse during menstruation because blood will flow out of the female vagina at this time, and the bacteria in the female vagina will be washed away by menstrual blood, reducing the ability to inhibit bacteria. Having sexual intercourse during menstruation is very harmful to women's health. So is it definitely not allowed to have sexual intercourse during menstruation?

As the menstrual period approaches, the blood circulation in the pelvic tissues of women accelerates, forming a congested state that enhances sexual desire, similar to soaking in hot water or lying in bed, which can achieve the same effect.
At this point, the female body will slightly heat up, and the breasts will become tense and firm, feeling extremely excited. This is a normal phenomenon. On the other hand, there is a phenomenon known as premenstrual tension, which is caused by various hormonal imbalances and can sometimes lead to a certain degree of suppression of sexual desire. Women suffering from this disease can gradually alleviate their condition as long as they can reach orgasm.
Feeling particularly strong sexual desire after menstruation is caused by psychological factors. It may be a reward for the menstrual period; It is also possible that during this period of safety, there is no need to worry about pregnancy, so one particularly wants to have sex.
After marriage, men often cannot tolerate prolonged abstinence, so they occasionally request their wives to have sex with them during menstruation. Generally speaking, women are afraid of dirtying bed sheets, and men are afraid of seeing blood, so they rarely have sex during their menstrual period. These people are mostly trying to challenge tradition, break taboos, and seek excitement.
In principle, sexual intercourse during menstruation will not cause harm to the body unless both parties have a sexually transmitted disease. However, the following points should still be noted during intercourse.
1. During sexual intercourse, men should use condoms. In addition, due to the presence of blood, the lubrication inside the vagina is greatly reduced, and intense sexual activity may cause inflammation and swelling of the female vaginal opening.
2. Some people replace normal sexual intercourse with anal intercourse during their menstrual period. If this is true, special attention should be paid to hygiene issues.
3. During orgasm, it can promote uterine contractions, so engaging in sexual intercourse in the first half of menstruation can cause excessive bleeding and even dirty bed sheets.
4. If sexual intercourse continues as usual during menstruation, the shed uterine membrane not only cannot be expelled from the vagina, but may also be compressed back into the abdominal cavity, becoming the cause of endometriosis.
In the second half of menstruation, when the blood volume is low, there should not be any problems. But if a woman is using a sanitary cotton swab, it should be removed first, otherwise it may be pushed deep into the uterus due to sexual activity and rot there, and the situation will be serious. More caution should be taken.
In principle, sexual intercourse is not allowed during menstruation, but many young couples cannot tolerate such a long period of no sexual activity. Therefore, sexual intercourse can also be done during menstruation, but special attention must be paid to hygiene, otherwise it may cause irreparable damage to women's reproductive health.
