Is it okay to have sex when you have your period?

Intercourse during menstruation has an impact on the body. The cervical opening is dilated at this time, which can easily cause bacterial infection and lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, vaginitis and other diseases. The process of intercourse can lead to contraction of the uterus, which can also cause an increase in the volume of menstruation, prolonged periods and other undesirable phenomena. After intercourse, back pain and abdominal pain can easily cause dysmenorrhea. Menstrual intercourse is also bad for men, as menstrual blood can easily cause bacterial growth, leading to urethritis and other male diseases. If you feel unwell after having intercourse during menstruation, you can take anti-inflammatory drugs and you must have a gynecological examination after your period to avoid affecting your health. For the sake of the body, it is best to have intercourse three days after the menstruation is clean, when the endometrium has recovered and the body resistance has increased, intercourse will not cause adverse symptoms, but we must also pay attention to intercourse hygiene and wash before and after intercourse.
