       Sexual intercourse is generally not recommended during menstruation. The specific analysis is as follows:

Menstruation typically refers to the cyclical shedding of the uterine lining triggered by ovarian activity, and its occurrence generally indicates mature reproductive function. However, sexual intercourse is usually not advised during menstruation. During this period, hormonal imbalances in the body may lead to reduced immunity, weakening the reproductive system's defense against external pathogens. Additionally, the cervical os is in an open state. If bacteria enter through the vagina during sexual activity and travel upward into the uterine cavity, it may lead to infections such as vaginitis, cervicitis, or endometritis, affecting quality of life. If such conditions do occur, it is important to promptly visit a qualified medical institution for appropriate examinations, identify the exact cause, and receive targeted treatment.

It is recommended to maintain a regular sex life, pay attention to personal hygiene, follow a balanced diet, and keep a positive and relaxed mood in daily life.
