Can I get pregnant if I have sex during my period?

Menstruation is a special period. You will not get pregnant even if you have sex. However, it is recommended not to have sex during menstruation to avoid uterine viral infection. The body's functions are relatively low during menstruation and the endometrium is shed. Once you have sex, it will cause inflammation of the uterus and infection with gynecological diseases. So although you will not get pregnant even if you have sex during menstruation, you should not have sex for the sake of your health.

The normal menstrual cycle for an adult woman is about 28 days. Every girl has a different physical constitution, so some may have their periods earlier or later. As long as it is within 25 to 35 days, it is normal.

Why can’t I have sex during my period? Let’s clarify the concept of “can’t”. What does it mean that we can’t have sex? It is only when the sexual organs of both parties are unable to complete sexual acts or there is a sexual dysfunction that it is considered "incapable" of having sex. So I can say responsibly that it is completely possible to have sex during your period. Secondly, it is recommended to reduce sexual intercourse during menstruation, mainly for the sake of women's physical health.

During menstruation, the female vagina and endometrium are in a state of congestion, which makes them easily damaged during sexual intercourse. Damage to the body's endometrium is equivalent to opening the door to bacteria and welcoming them into your body. At the same time, due to its structure, the male vulva is prone to breeding bacteria.

Therefore, if sexual intercourse occurs when one party's mucous membrane is damaged and the other party is carrying bacteria, it is easy for the woman to contract a disease. This is the main reason why sexual activity during menstruation is not recommended. For example, during normal intercourse, under the premise that women produce a large amount of lubricant, the probability of AIDS being transmitted from sexual intercourse between men and women is extremely low (AIDS is used as an example because it is only transmitted through body fluids), because in this pattern of sexual intercourse both men and women will be active under lubricated conditions and there will be no damage to the skin. There is almost no exchange of body fluids (except for SJ); however, the probability of AIDS transmission through male-male sexual intercourse is an order of magnitude higher, because the intestines do not secrete lubricating fluid, which can cause damage to the intestinal mucosa during sexual intercourse; and the female vagina during menstruation is as easily broken as the unlubricated intestinal lining. Therefore, it is still not recommended to have sex during menstruation. Of course, you may think that I am exaggerating when I say AIDS, but common gynecological inflammations can easily be transmitted through sexual intercourse during menstruation, and severe cases can cause infertility.

Secondly: Why do you have a strong sexual desire during your period? First, the physical reason is that the pelvic cavity becomes congested during menstruation, and pelvic congestion is one of the manifestations of female orgasm. Driven by the feeling of congestion and fullness, the body will think that the climax is coming, thereby increasing sexual desire. At the same time, vaginal congestion will also increase the frequency and area of ​​friction, thereby producing pleasure and enhancing sexual desire. Second, third, psychological reasons. Since there is no risk of pregnancy during menstruation, compared with the fear at other times, it seems that women can do whatever they want during this period. The inner sense of security of women is enhanced, which further increases the demand for desire. Third, hormone stimulation. Estrogen levels are at a higher level during menstruation. Estrogen is commonly known as hormone. You know what it means to have abundant hormone secretion. So naturally it will increase sexual desire.
