What can't you do during menstruation? During menstruation, women should pay attention to many things, such as not having sex, not taking sitz baths, not singing loudly, etc. So what should they not do during menstruation? The small edge below will introduce it to you.
The first reason for not having sexual intercourse during menstruation
Prevent reproductive system infections. When a woman's menstrual cycle comes, the endometrium (tissue inside the uterus) peels off and falls off one after another. During menstrual intercourse, bacteria around the vulva and perineum (between the vaginal opening and anus) can easily enter the vagina, cervix, and even the uterus. Bacteria only grow and reproduce in areas with blood. Local inflammation is called endometritis. It not only has fever and lower abdominal pain, but also increases menstrual bleeding and prolongs the menstrual period. If the infected bacteria are highly toxic, they may also spread to the outside of the uterus through the lymphatic vessels of the endometrium and enter the pelvic cavity, causing acute adnexitis (including fallopian tubes and ovaries) and pelvic peritonitis. This not only causes fever and abdominal pain, but also affects future fertility. Once the fallopian tubes become inflamed, adhesion or obstruction of the lumen can occur. If sperm cannot pass through, then pregnancy cannot occur
The second reason for not having sexual intercourse during menstruation
Prevent endometrial reflux into the pelvic cavity and cause endometriosis (under normal circumstances, the endometrium flows out with menstrual blood flow). If there is menstrual intercourse, when a woman's excitement reaches its peak, the uterus will contract. At this point, fragments of the endometrium in the uterine cavity fall off and can enter the fallopian tubes with the pressure of uterine contraction, entering the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity along the fallopian tubes. No matter where it falls, endometriosis will occur. This disease can cause adhesion between the fallopian tubes and the uterus and pelvic cavity, as well as ovarian surface hypertrophy and blood storage. It not only disrupts the normal development and growth of eggs, but also affects ovulation, ultimately leading to infertility
