In fact, many women do not have sexual intercourse during their menstrual period, but there are exceptions. Some women do not pay too much attention to having sexual intercourse during their menstrual period, so there are still many women who have sexual intercourse normally during their menstrual period. So, let's follow the editor to learn if having sexual intercourse during menstruation can cause infertility?
Having sexual intercourse during menstruation may lead to infertility, but it is not absolute. Due to sexual intercourse during menstruation, pathogenic bacteria carried from the penis to the vagina will multiply in large numbers. These pathogenic 'group' bacteria immediately swarm upwards, pass through the cervix, enter the uterine cavity, and multiply extensively on the wounds in the uterine cavity. These pathogenic bacteria either adhere to the surface of sperm and enter the fallopian tubes, or are "sucked" into the fallopian tubes due to negative pressure caused during sexual intercourse. A large number of pathogenic bacteria reach the fallopian tubes and multiply in large numbers, causing salpingitis, swelling, necrosis, suppuration, scar adhesion, and only the thick cotton thread of the fallopian tube is blocked. After the fallopian tubes are blocked, sperm cannot pass through the blocked area to the outer section of the fallopian tubes, and the eggs waiting here cannot be fertilized, leading to infertility.
Sometimes the blockage of the fallopian tubes is mild, and sperm can squeeze through the narrow slit to reach the outer section of the fallopian tubes to fertilize the egg. However, fertilized eggs that are more than ten times larger than sperm cannot enter the uterine cavity through the slit, so they can only be implanted in the fallopian tubes on site, which leads to ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, women are not allowed to engage in sexual activity during their menstrual period. Traditional Chinese Medicine advocates for sexual health preservation by abstaining from sexual activity and preserving essence. It is not about abstinence or indulgence, but rather about avoiding excessive sexual activity that can deplete the kidneys and essence. Kidney essence is the foundation of innate constitution. If the kidney essence is sufficient, all five organs and six viscera will be prosperous, and the positive qi will be stored in the internal evil and cannot be dried up, which can prevent aging and promote longevity. The care of male and female sperm and blood is also of great significance for eugenics.
