1、 Can I have sex during my menstrual period

Menstruation is a periodic phenomenon of endometrial decay, shedding, and bleeding that flows out through the vagina. During the more than thirty years from menarche to menopause, under normal circumstances, it occurs on average every 28 days, lasting for 3-7 days. Menstrual blood accounts for about 50% of the blood, while the rest consists of endometrial debris, cervical mucus, and vaginal exudate

During menstruation, there are wounds in the endometrium, loosening of the cervical opening, and detachment of mucus plugs in the cervical canal. In addition, menstrual blood can change vaginal acidity, disrupt vaginal self purification, and serve as a good medium for the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. These all indicate that the natural defense function of the reproductive tract in women during menstruation is significantly disrupted, resulting in a decrease in their ability to defend against infection

In addition, pelvic congestion during menstruation often causes discomfort and even pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region, as well as discomfort such as frequent urination, diarrhea, breast pain, and mild edema

These physiological changes during menstruation, combined with changes in autonomic nervous system function caused by low levels of ovarian sex hormones, often affect women's psychological activities, resulting in emotional changes, such as irritability, irritability, anxiety, irritability or depression, fatigue, and low libido. Therefore, some women consider menstruation as "bad luck"

During menstruation, it is not advisable to engage in sexual intercourse from a physiological or psychological perspective, nor should gynecological examinations be conducted to avoid causing ascending reproductive tract infections or exacerbating pelvic congestion, leading to prolonged menstruation, increased menstrual volume, menstrual disorders, and dysmenorrhea

Once a reproductive tract infection is caused, it can also cause adhesion and blockage of the fallopian tubes, leading to infertility. Some can also cause immune infertility. Some women can also suffer from psychogenic diseases, especially sexual dysfunction, such as low libido and lack of orgasm, as they often carry a heavy mental burden due to a history of menstrual intercourse, fearing the legendary "incurable disease"

Therefore, in order to ensure women's physical and mental health, and to ensure a happy and happy married life, one must not have negative consequences caused by momentary sexual impulses. Ancient Chinese medical books attached great importance to the study of sexual health preservation. During the Tang Dynasty, the physician Sun Simiao proposed that the seven taboos of sexual life included menstrual taboos
