Talking about having sex during menstruation often raises doubts among many women. Questions about whether or not it is permissible to have sex during menstruation often arise, mainly because of concerns about the negative impact on health. If you are curious about the dangers of having sex during menstruation, see the explanation below.
Dangers of Having Sex During Menstruation
Even though there are still negative views in society regarding intimate relationships during menstruation, it cannot be ignored that there are some risks that need to be understood. The following are among them:
1. Increased Risk of Transmission of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
One consequence of sexual activity during menstruation is an increased chance of contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Viruses that may be present in menstrual blood can be more easily transmitted to partners. Some STDs that are prone to spread when having sex during menstruation include HIV, hepatitis, and herpes.
2. Pregnancy
Maybe you think that having sex during menstruation is a guarantee to avoid pregnancy. However, the reality is not that easy. Pregnancy can still occur, although this is rare.
Keep in mind that sperm has the potential to survive in the body for up to seven days. If you have sex near the end of your menstrual period and you have relatively short or irregular menstrual cycles, chances are sperm will still be active when ovulation occurs.
3. Vaginal Yeast Infection
Normal vaginal pH levels range from 3.8 to 5.0. During menstruation, this pH can change to be more acidic or alkaline. These changing environmental conditions can create an environment conducive to the growth of yeast, which in turn can lead to infections of the female reproductive tract.
Signs of vaginal yeast infection may appear in the first week of menstruation. Having sex can exacerbate these symptoms, including a cheese-like discharge, itching, pain, and redness around the vulva area.
4. Dry Vagina
Having sex during your period can sometimes reduce the need for extra lubrication, because menstrual blood itself can act as a natural lubricant. However, this is different if you usually use tampons during your period.
Using tampons, especially if you use them before sex, can result in decreased vaginal lubrication. This happens because tampons are able to absorb menstrual blood while removing the natural lubricant around the cervix.
5. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
One of the other risks of having sex during menstruation is a greater chance of having a urinary tract infection (UTI). The proximity of the urethra and vagina can make it easier for bacteria in menstrual blood to spread, especially during sexual activity.
6. Endometriosis
Research shows that having sex during menstruation can contribute to the risk of developing endometriosis. Sexual activity during this period can cause the flow of menstrual blood that should come out, back into the abdominal cavity (retrograde menstruation), which ultimately risks triggering the growth of endometriosis outside the uterus.
It's important to remember that even though there are potential side effects of having sex during your period, that doesn't mean you have to completely avoid it. Preventive measures and safe sex practices can still be implemented to reduce the risk of disease or infection transmission. If you experience side effects from having sex during menstruation, it is wise to consult a doctor to get the appropriate treatment.

After searching for different means to get my self cured but nothing seems to work out, behold today i can boldly stand and testify to the world at large that with the help of herbal medicine, I have found myself back to my feet and healthy again in just after few weeks after i got in contact with a great herbalist, through help on a blog which talk about HIV cure. Few weeks ago, i saw an article of a lady explaining how she was cured after using some herbal medicines which was sent to her by Dr.Water. So i decided to give this great man a try by contacting him via his email and mobile number. I explained to him what my problem was, and he promised me that all would be fine and well by the time i finish using his remedy. I just had to believe in him, which i did. Low and behold, today i am very happy. It was just all like a magic when my blood sample tested negative. That is why i have come here to testify to the world at large and also to share my experience because I know there are many people out there who are also searching for a cure to one disease or the other. You can as well get in contact with DR.WATER now for his herbal medicines, through his WhatsApp +2349050205019.

I WAS CURED OF HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS BY DR WATER, THE GREAT HERBALIST. 🌿☘️
i am so happy to share this testimony with the world because generally there are so many doubts about the cure of HERPES simplex virus. This is real take it serious, my name is HENRIETTE AMUNAZO and i am so happy that today i can give this testimony to the world and also help people who has been condemned just as i was. Who will believe that a herb can cure HERPES completely from the body?, i never believed that this will work, i have spend a lot of money getting drugs from the hospital to supress outbreaks, it got to a time that all i was wanted was death to come because i was broke and i already have strong outbreaks from the herpes virus. One day i was going through the internet asking questions online just to know more about the latest development in the medical sector to see if there is still hope then i stumbled on a post about this great man called DR WATER through an online friend who publicly made a testimony on how she was also cured of herpes simplex virus 2 by this herbal doctor who is well known for his strong ancient herbal practice for HERPES, HIV, WARTS and CANCER cure. At first i doubted both the woman and the doctor just as so many that see’s this post would doubt because medically it has been proven impossible but later i decided to give him a try so i emailed him. I did not believe him that much, I just wanted to give him a try. He replied my mail and needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared a herbal medicine (CURE) and sent it through Online Courier Service for delivery. He gave my details to the Courier Office. They told me that 3-5 days I will receive the package and after receiving it, i took the medicine as prescribed by him at the end of 13days that the medcine lasted, he told me to go to the hospital for a test, and i went, surprisingly after the test the doctor confirm me Herpes simplex virus free, i thought it was a joke, i went to other hospitals and was also confirmed herpes free, i will say it was like a miracle. I waited to see if i will get any outbreaks again and its been 2 months now, i have not experienced any outbreak. Thank you sir for saving my life even if you cannot see this post, i shall never stop testifying the impact you made in my life by restoring back my life when i was being stigmatized and even avoided by family and friends. I promise I will always testify of your good works. if you have herpes simplex virus, HIV patient, Diabetes, human papilloma virus or genital warts, contact him and I am sure you will get cured, contact him via:
