Many people know that there are many things to pay attention to during menstruation, such as not eating raw, cold, spicy, and greasy foods, and not doing vigorous exercise. In addition to avoiding these things, it is also not allowed to have sexual intercourse during menstruation. Therefore, many people wonder why sexual intercourse is not allowed during menstruation and whether it will have any impact. So, why can't we have sex during menstruation? Let's take a look below.
1. When a woman is about to menstruate, the cervix is in an open state, and the shedding of the endometrium can cause vaginal bleeding. If the couple has sexual intercourse, it is easy for pathogens to enter the uterine cavity through the open cervix, which can easily cause endometrial infection. In severe cases, endometrial inflammation or pelvic inflammatory disease may occur, and various sequelae may also be left behind. In addition, some women may experience recurrent lower abdominal pain, which can lead to tubal adhesions and infertility.
2. Having sexual intercourse during menstruation can cause sexual excitement. Once sexual excitement occurs, the uterus contracts, causing the cervix to close. Once menstrual blood flows into the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tubes, it is easy to cause endometrial infection and inflammation, which can lead to dysmenorrhea in clinical practice. It can be seen from this that sexual intercourse is not allowed during menstruation, which is also a way for women to protect their own health. Do not have a lucky mentality, so as not to regret it later.
