Can I have sex during menstruation? During my multiple menstrual periods, my boyfriend also wanted to have sex with me, but I heard that having sex on a physiological day is not good for my health and I have been refusing to agree. Sometimes I wanted to satisfy him when I saw his pitiful appearance, but later I endured it. Doctor: Can I have sex on a physiological day?
This is a problem for netizens, and the question is very good, proving that she is related. In a one-time study organized by experts on the health status of daily sexual activity, more than 70% of netizens have experience with daily sexual activity, and only more than 10% of people adhere to the taboo of not having sexual activity on a daily basis. About half of netizens said that the reason for having sexual intercourse during menstruation is "feeling that the menstrual period is too long, both parties' bodies are too eager, and they lack patience". There are also a few people who want to avoid the top and bottom red spots. Ma Xiaonian, a sex expert from the Chinese Sexuality Society who is a minority of women with strong sexual desire during menstruation, said in a recent interview with this newspaper that sexual intercourse during menstruation is not an absolute taboo, and taboos are remnants of feudal ideology. He believes that as long as there is the most bleeding, it is enough to have sex, but there is no need to promote physical sex. He has read many research literature and found no evidence of infection caused by menstrual sex. Various infections such as sexually transmitted diseases actually occur during non menstrual sexual activity. At the same time, Ma Xiaonian also believes that there is a positive side to daily sexual activity.
A few women report that they only have strong sexual desire during physical days, and in this case, sexual activity during physical days is also a choice. Some women suffer from dysmenorrhea due to the blockage of endometrial patches and blood clots that have fallen off during menstruation at the cervix. During sexual intercourse and masturbation, it helps to expel membranous menstruation and alleviate pain. The PK experts with big views have broken taboos, while the fourth edition of "Human Nature" written by American Spencer Ruthers and others has a book specifically about sexual intercourse in physiology. The book says: Some men and women continue to have sex on physiological days, while others abstain... Regarding abstinence, some people are religious taboos, while others believe that menstrual blood pollution. Although traditional beliefs link menstruation to cleanliness, there is no evidence to suggest that sexual intercourse during menstruation is harmful to both men and women's bodies.
It is not ironic that sexual intercourse during menstruation may be beneficial for women. Contraction of the uterus or evacuation of congestion during orgasm is beneficial for relieving dysmenorrhea. In several other works on English sexuality, the author expresses similar views on harmlessness. Japanese author Rongji Matsuyama's work "Women's Medicine" also believes that sexual intercourse during menstruation is not an absolute taboo, but menstrual bleeding may increase. In 1996, a study by Dr. Carter of Stanford University in the United States also found that sexual intercourse during menstruation increased the amount of menstrual bleeding in women. Is it possible for endometriosis to occur? Menstrual sex compresses menstrual blood into the fallopian tubes and abdominal cavity, cultivating endometrial cells in those areas, causing endometriosis.
In 1989, a study by American researcher Phil et al. found that women who had sex during menstruation had more endometriosis, but a year later, American researcher Darrow's study found that the two were unrelated. Afterwards, Kliman et al. from the Yale University Obstetrics and Gynecology Center in the United States concluded through further research that menstrual sexual activity does not squeeze menstrual blood into the abdominal cavity through the fallopian tubes, but rather protects women from endometriosis. Most experts in obstetrics and gynecology in countries where menstrual sex is harmful to health are strongly opposed to it. A more authoritative viewpoint is Cao Zeyi's book "Chinese Obstetrics and Gynecology", which suggests that taboos should be followed because having sexual intercourse during menstruation increases the chances of infection in women.
In the "Answers to Sexual Medicine Knowledge" edited by Chen Dong and others, there are three hazards of menstrual sexual behavior: 1. increased menstrual flow 2. increased infection 3. menstrual blood clotting on the male urethra, causing urethral irritation symptoms. Some people also believe that sperm can enter the bloodstream through the uterine bleeding surface, causing an immune response in the human immune system, generating anti sperm antibodies, and leading to future infertility.
Guo Huiping, Director of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the 157th Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Military Region General Hospital, and Miao Shixia, Director of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the 12th People's Hospital of Guangzhou, also explicitly oppose menstrual sexual intercourse. Suggestion: Guan Ting, Director of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Guangzhou Military Region General Hospital, stated that domestic experts' opinions in this regard are mostly based on clinical experience and do not conduct experimental research as foreign experts do. Nevertheless, she still feels that daily sexual activity is not suitable. On physiological days, the endometrium is in a damaged state, and external bacteria are brought in by the penis, making it prone to retrograde infections. In addition, the blood diffused in the uterine cavity is a good substrate for bacterial culture. Different people see benevolence, while wise people see wisdom. However, when sexual intercourse is necessary on a physiological day, it is recommended to clean the external genitalia, and men must wear condoms. Hygiene is the most important thing.
