In modern urban life, men and women choose to engage in sexual activity to relieve the pressure of life. The stimulation of sexual activity can bring happiness and joy to people. Some young female friends do not understand how to take care of themselves and have sex during their menstrual period. So, friends of this type may be more worried about whether they will get pregnant during their menstrual period after having sex. Next, let's take a look.
Will having sex during menstruation lead to pregnancy
The female internal reproductive organs are composed of ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes. The main function of the ovaries is to produce eggs and synthesize ovarian hormones, while the uterus and fallopian tubes are reproductive organs. The ovaries contain hundreds of thousands of follicles, each containing one egg. Before puberty, follicles have little function. During adolescence, immature follicles gradually develop and synthesize estrogen under the action of anterior pituitary gonadotropins. After the follicle matures and ovulates, the follicle wall collapses, and the cells become larger and yellow, known as the corpus luteum. It not only synthesizes estrogen but also produces progesterone. As the ovaries undergo changes, the endometrium is also affected by them and undergoes corresponding periodic changes. Estrogen causes thickening of the endometrium, increasing and enlarging of endometrial cells, and making blood vessels more tortuous and spiral, known as proliferative endometrium.
After ovulation, due to the combined action of estrogen and progesterone, the endometrium undergoes edema, and the glands produce a large amount of mucus and glycogen. The thickness of the endometrium increases from 1 millimeter to 6 millimeters, known as secretory endometrium. If the egg released at this time is fertilized, the fertilized egg is transported through the fallopian tube to the uterus for development, known as pregnancy. The pregnant tissue synthesizes a type of chorionic gonadotropin, which supports the continued development of the corpus luteum of the ovary; If the egg is not fertilized, around 14 days after ovulation, the corpus luteum will atrophy and stop secreting estrogen and progesterone. At this time, the blood vessels in the endometrium will contract, the endometrium will die and fall off, causing bleeding and forming menstruation. In summary, women who have sexual intercourse during their menstrual period will not become pregnant.
The hazards of having sexual intercourse during menstruation
1. During menstruation in women, if there is bleeding from the endometrium, some of the endometrium may rupture and fall off, and some blood vessels may also be exposed. Sexual intercourse at this time can increase menstrual flow or prolong the duration of menstruation, exacerbating discomfort during the menstrual period.
2. Engaging in sexual activity at this time can easily lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, causing pain to the female partner. Some women may experience a relapse after a few days of menstruation, so it is even more important to pay extra attention and avoid sexual intercourse.
3. Women have low sexual desire during menstruation and already experience menstrual discomfort. Engaging in sexual intercourse can exacerbate the discomfort, and in such situations, it can also make men feel embarrassed. The key to avoiding sexual intercourse during menstruation lies with the husband. Therefore, as a supportive husband, one should understand, care for, and love their wife.
Life tip: During menstruation, it is recommended not to have sexual intercourse to avoid damaging the female reproductive organs. In severe cases, it may also lead to infertility in the future. Do not sacrifice your future happiness for temporary pleasure. During menstruation, taking good care of oneself, eating and sleeping well, nourishing oneself, drinking plenty of hot water, and relieving menstrual fatigue are the most important.
