Can Women Share a Room During Menstruation?

      During menstruation, women should avoid engaging in sexual activities. This is something that all women should be aware of and adhere to, as menstrual sex can cause serious harm. During this time, the cervix is open and susceptible to bacterial infection, which can lead to inflammation.

      1. It is not advisable for women to engage in sexual activities during their periods. Due to the open cervix, bacteria can easily enter the uterus, which can cause infections. Women’s resistance to infections decreases during menstruation, making them more vulnerable. If an infection does occur, it can cause endometritis, endometriosis, adenomyosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). These conditions can harm reproductive health and lead to infertility.

      2. Engaging in sexual activities during menstruation can cause harm, even if the period hasn’t ended yet. The mutual stimulation can cause bruising of the female genitalia, and as menstrual flow increases, the cycle may become longer. In addition, menstrual fluid can enter the male urethra during sexual intercourse, which can cause urethritis.

      3. During menstruation, sexual arousal can cause uterine contractions, leading to isolated endometriosis, which in turn can cause infertility. Furthermore, male sperm can enter the bloodstream due to damaged endometrial tissue, leading to sperm antibodies and immune infertility.

      4. Bacteria can easily spread to the vaginal wall beyond male genitalia, which can affect the development of vaginal bacteria. Therefore, women should avoid sharing a room during menstruation to reduce the risk of spreading infection.
