Is It Safe To Have Intercourse During Periods?

Hi. I had my first slightly bleeding dated September 29, 2014 and it was ended last October 3. On october 04 it has slightly bleeding and I had sex on that day. It is safe? Im a little bit worried about that because until now I don t have mens. Actually, I am 32 and 33 days cycle. What should be the date of my next cycle? Thanks.

Dear Madam,

Absolutely not!

During menstruation, their is blood flow. Blood is a very good medium for bacteria to grow. Hence, by intercourse during bleeding, there are good many chances to catch infection of the reproductory organs, which may result in blocking of the tubes leading to infertility in future.

Also there is a school of thought that during this phase of menstrual cycle, the tissues of uterine lining are in the early growing phase. The intercourse may lead to cancer formation of these cells.

Hygienically, it is not only unsafe, but very dangerous to have intercourse during the bleeding phase of periods.

I hope this clears your doubts.
