Why can’t you have intercourse when you’re on your period?



As the cervical opening opens during menstruation to allow menstrual blood to flow out, and as a woman’s resistance is weak during menstruation, coitus at this time may increase the risk of gynecological inflammation, endometriosis, and so on.

During menstruation, a woman’s cervical opening is in an open state, which is conducive to the smooth flow of menstrual blood. If you have intercourse at this time, the open state of the cervical opening is also easy to make the menstrual blood reflux, if the reflux of menstrual blood mixed with bacteria, it may increase the risk of bacterial infection in the uterus, causing gynecological inflammation, and may also cause the occurrence of endometriosis and other diseases.

Moreover, during menstruation, a woman’s immunity is weaker and her resistance to pathogens such as bacteria is weaker, and a small amount of bacteria may cause gynecological infections.

Therefore, women try not to have intercourse during menstruation, and can have intercourse after menstruation is clean. During menstruation, you need to pay attention to pubic hygiene and cleanliness, and change your underwear frequently.
