3. Pressuring Intimacy During Menstruation
Some men demand s:e:xual activity during menstruation, not realizing the risks involved. At this stage of a woman’s cycle, the cervix is more vulnerable because the uterine lining is shedding and slightly open, creating an easier pathway for bacteria to enter.
Medical experts warn that interco:urse during menstruation can:
- Increase the risk of pelvic infections.
- Trigger gynecological inflammation.
- Over time, raise the risk of cervical and uterine complications if infections are left untreated.
Women should feel empowered to refuse intimacy during this period and prioritize their long-term health over temporary satisfaction.
