Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Relationship sex what to do when menstruation still a matter of debate. However, some experts believe that there is a danger of having sex during menstruation.
For some people, menstruation is not an obstacle to having sex. During menstruation, sex is said to be more exciting.
However, some others try to avoid sex during menstruation. This habit is believed to cause health problems.
Here are some of the dangers of having sex during menstruation.
1. Increases the risk of infection in the uterus
An obstetrician, Ni Komang Yeni Dhana Sari, does not recommend having sex during menstruation. This habit can increase the risk of infection in the womb.
Yeni explained that during menstruation, the cervix will open. This makes it easy for germs to enter during penetration.
“I’m afraid there is irritation in the vaginal area, or there are germs from outside the vagina that are pushed in due to penetration of the penis,” said Yeni, when contacted CNNIndonesia.com.
The cervix is also more sensitive during menstruation so the risk of infection will be greater.
The risk of infection is also driven by the increased acidity of the vagina during menstruation. “This causes the number of bacteria and viruses to increase,” said skin and genital specialist, Edwin Tanihana.
2. Uncomfortable for women
Not only that, sex will also make women uncomfortable if it is done during menstruation. Especially considering that there are some women who experience excessive pain during menstruation.
“Having sex during menstruation can also make women uncomfortable, because it can cause stomach pain,” said Yeni.

3. Increase the risk of venereal disease
Sex during menstruation can also invite venereal disease for both parties.
A woman who has an infection Human papillomavirus (HPV) in the uterus, said Yeni, can transmit it to men. Men will be carriers of HPV in their bodies.
This is certainly dangerous for people who often change partners. HPV that is in the body of men without realizing it can be transmitted to other partners.
4. Increases the risk of endometriosis
Women who have sex during menstruation are also prone to endometriosis. The last name is a condition when the tissue that forms the inner lining of the uterine wall grows outside the uterus.
Edwin explained, due to penetration, menstrual blood that should have come out may re-enter and stick around the uterine wall.
If left untreated, endometriosis can cause tumors to cancer, and even increase the risk of infertility.
However, Edwin did not prohibit sex during menstruation. As long as the partner is in good health, does not have a sexually transmitted disease, and does not have any injuries.
“The genitals of both partners must be cleaned first before intercourse. However, the risk of infection will still exist,” said Edwin.
