The risk of endometriosis
During menstruation, the lining of the uterus will slough off and blood flow out. If sex during this time can push the flow of the flow of blood backwards, the dilated mucosa will go back into other organs such as ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, abdominal cavity, etc. This, the uterine lining will also grow like in the uterus, and until menstruation, it will also shed, causing bleeding, severe abdominal pain, pain during sex ... This is a pathology that causes difficulty conceiving in women
The risk of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases is high

Especially in women with irregular menstruation, the likelihood of getting pregnant during the menstrual days is even higher.
- Due to the excitement is too strong women can ovulate more early if reaching "peak" in that relationship. Meanwhile, sperm can still live in a woman's body for about 2-3 days so the probability of pregnancy is quite high
