Menstrual period is a very special period for women, during which their bodies are relatively weak, their immunity is low, and they are susceptible to virus invasion. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to engage in sexual activity during menstruation. Can having sex during menstruation lead to pregnancy?
Having sexual intercourse during menstruation generally does not lead to pregnancy, but sexual activity during menstruation can easily cause pelvic inflammatory disease and endometritis in women. Due to the constant opening of the cervix during menstruation, sexual intercourse may cause bacteria, and retrograde infection of the uterine cavity can lead to endometritis and even pelvic inflammatory disease. Some women may experience menstrual disorders after sexual activity during their menstrual period, so even if sexual activity during menstruation does not lead to pregnancy, it is not recommended to have sex during menstruation. Once there is menstrual sexual activity, it is necessary to observe vaginal bleeding and whether there are abnormal symptoms such as abdominal pain.
If sexual activity occurs during menstruation, it can lead to the following consequences:
1. Although menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women, engaging in sexual activity during menstruation can bring greater psychological pressure to women, and over time, it may lead to sexual frigidity.
2. Due to the fact that the uterus is open during menstruation, it is highly susceptible to bacterial infections in clinical practice, leading to cervicitis or endometritis. Severe cases can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease. In clinical practice, it may also lead to blockage of the fallopian tubes due to inflammation, which can result in infertility.
In summary, for the sake of the physical health of female friends, sexual activity is generally not allowed during menstruation. It is recommended to engage in sexual activity three days after the end of menstruation, and to maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia during menstruation to avoid bacterial infections.
