The physiological structure of women is quite unique, and they have their periods every month. When women have their periods, there are many issues that need to be paid attention to to to prevent harm to their bodies. Many women know that they should pay special attention to not having sexual intercourse during their periods. So, what are the problems with having sexual intercourse during their periods?
Having sexual intercourse during menstruation can easily lead to bacterial infections in the female vagina, causing various gynecological diseases and even affecting normal conception. During menstruation, due to the shedding of the endometrium, the alkaline blood flowing through neutralizes the acidic environment of the vagina, which can affect the vaginal environment and weaken its natural barrier function. At this time, sexual intercourse can easily introduce bacteria into the reproductive tract, leading to infection.
When having sexual intercourse, the male genitalia may introduce bacteria into the vagina, while the female menstrual blood is most prone to the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. The endometrium also has many small wounds and ruptured small blood vessels, which spread quickly. Once infected, it can easily accumulate in the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, causing a lot of trouble for women.
During menstruation, women should not engage in sexual activity, but also pay attention to their diet and avoid excessive consumption of strong tea and coffee, as the ingredients in these drinks can easily stimulate the nerves and cardiovascular system, leading to prolonged periods or excessive menstrual bleeding.
