Women have their own unique physiological cycles, such as menstruation, pregnancy, and puerperium. During these periods, significant changes occur in their bodies, and the reproductive organs have lower disease resistance and are prone to illness. Therefore, sexual activity in these situations should be restrained. Having sex during menstruation not only causes excessive menstrual blood and prolongs the menstrual period, but also easily brings bacteria into the vagina, causing inflammation of the uterus or fallopian tubes and other accessories. Therefore, women should not engage in sexual activity during menstruation. Sexual intercourse during pregnancy can stimulate uterine contractions, and in severe cases, it can cause miscarriage.
Moreover, during pregnancy, it is also a period of low reproductive system disease resistance and susceptibility to bacterial invasion. Therefore, sexual activity should be avoided as much as possible. Sexual activity should be avoided during the first and last three months of pregnancy, and should only be carried out appropriately in the middle of pregnancy. If there has been a history of miscarriage or premature birth before, sexual activity should be more regulated. Although pregnant women have relieved the burden of pregnancy after childbirth, the enlarged uterus has not yet recovered, and the reproductive organs in the entire pelvic cavity are greatly different from usual. If they engage in sexual activity at this time, it can lead to serious consequences such as uterine bleeding and genital inflammation. Sexual activity should be avoided during this period. After 6 to 7 weeks, the reproductive organs are restored before sexual activity can resume. After induced abortion, for the sake of women's health, it is also necessary to avoid sexual intercourse for one month. In addition, women who suffer from severe heart disease, serious internal and surgical diseases, or acute inflammation of the reproductive organs are also not suitable for sexual activity.
