When women are still menstruating, it is recommended not to have sex, and most people do not choose to have sex during their menstrual period. But some men or women do not care about this issue and insist on continuing to have sex. After sexual intercourse, women may have some reactions. So, what should I do if I have sex during my menstrual period?
What should I do if I have sex during my menstrual period
When women have their period, their bodies are relatively weak, and with an increase in vaginal discharge, if one of the male and female partners experiences inflammation of the reproductive organs, it can cause cross infection. However, if it is due to certain reasons that menstruation still occurs during sexual intercourse, women should pay attention to their reactions afterwards. If symptoms such as heavy bleeding occur the next day, medical attention should be sought immediately.
If a woman finds that her next menstrual cycle is not coming and accompanied by symptoms such as weight gain after having sex, she should consider being pregnant. At this point, women should undergo a pregnancy test to determine if they are pregnant. Regardless of the result, they should go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there are any uterine abnormalities.
The hazards of having sexual intercourse during menstruation
In addition to the increased risk of cross infection during menstruation as mentioned above, it may also cause menstrual disorders in women. Severe cases may lead to immunological infertility, where sperm meet with spilled blood cells at the site of endometrial damage, and even enter the bloodstream to induce the production of autoantibodies, as well as uterine contractions and the squeezing of endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, resulting in endometriosis.
When is it easy to get pregnant during sexual intercourse
If you really want to have a baby, it is recommended to choose to have sexual intercourse during ovulation. At this stage, the quality and quantity of eggs will be better, which is beneficial for promoting conception. But for some women with menstrual disorders, it may not be possible to determine pregnancy based on the menstrual cycle. In this case, methods such as recording basal body temperature and ovulation test strips can be used to determine pregnancy.
