Do women become pregnant during their menstrual period? What are the hazards of having sex during a woman's menstrual period
Do you get pregnant during your menstrual period? Some people believe that menstruation is a safe period and sexual activity does not lead to pregnancy. Is this really the case? In fact, experts should remind young future parents that menstrual sex poses great risks and should be avoided. So, will menstruation lead to pregnancy?
Will pregnancy occur during menstruation?
Generally speaking, the probability of pregnancy during menstruation is relatively low, but it is also possible to become pregnant. There are indeed precedents of sexual pregnancy during menstruation.
Firstly, we should understand what happens to a woman's menstrual period. Women have to menstruate once a month because they ovulate once a month, and the combination of sperm and eggs will develop into an embryo, which will give birth ten months later.
If sperm and eggs cannot bind together, the eggs cannot survive in the uterus for a long period of time (about three days), and the endometrium falls off and is expelled from the body. This is commonly referred to as menstruation.
The ovulation period of a woman is generally between two menstrual cycles, and it can be roughly inferred that from the first day of menstruation to 14-15 days, it is basically her ovulation period. Sexual activity within ten days before and after ovulation may lead to pregnancy. On other days, the likelihood of pregnancy is very low and is often referred to as the safe period.
Most women ovulate around the 14th day after menstruation begins, but if the ovulation period is advanced and sperm vitality is strong, it is likely to lead to pregnancy. The average ejaculation volume of males is about 300 million sperm, which can survive in females for about 7 days. If a woman ovulates early, it is highly likely to become pregnant. Therefore, even during menstruation, necessary contraceptive measures should be taken.

Menstrual secretions entering the male urethra can also cause urethritis.
At this point, male genitalia may bring bacteria into the vagina, and blood is a good breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms. Bacteria are easy to reproduce, spread along many small wounds and ruptured blood vessels in the endometrium, infect the endometrium, and even affect the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, causing unnecessary trouble for women.
During menstruation, due to sexual impulses, the uterus contracts and endometrial fragments can also squeeze into the pelvic cavity, leading to endometriosis and infertility
