Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon unique to women. During the menstrual period, some changes will occur in various parts of the body. The most prominent changes are: the excitability of the cerebral cortex decreases, and the body's resistance is worse than usual. The endometrium in the genitals sheds and bleeds, the cervix opens, and the alkaline menstrual blood neutralizes the acidic environment of the vagina, reducing the acidity of the vagina and weakening the natural barrier function.

If you have sex during menstruation, the following adverse consequences will occur: First, because both parties are excited, the insertion of the penis will cause congestion in the female genitals, leading to increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation. Secondly, during sexual intercourse at this time, the male reproductive organs may bring bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is a good culture medium for bacteria and other microorganisms. Bacteria can easily breed and spread along the many tiny wounds and ruptured blood vessels in the endometrium, infecting the endometrium and even affecting the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, thus causing unnecessary trouble to the woman. Third, menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis.

Fourth, having sex during menstruation, because sperm meets the damaged endometrium and overflowing blood cells, and even enters the blood, it can induce the production of anti-sperm antibodies, thus leading to immune infertility and sterility. Fifth, having sex during menstruation, due to the contraction of the uterus during sexual impulse, can also squeeze endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility. Harmony in the sexual life of a couple is an important component of a happy and complete family. In order to promote a happy, joyful and normal sexual life for couples, the scientific and practical issue of "sexual health" is currently being raised. It is not only to maintain a happy sex life for both couples, but also to ensure the physical and mental health of both couples. It is a measure to protect and respect women's rights, and it also lays the foundation for the healthy growth of the next generation.
