Getting after by yeast infections during menstruation is of highest possibility. This possibility increases due to hormonal changes in the body during menstruation.

How to save oneself from these diseases?
Safe sex should be followed, which means wearing a condom every time you are about to have intercourse. One might argue that condoms don't protect you from STIs, which is true, but it can be an armour that works 95% times if used properly.
Should you consider chances of pregnancy if you have sexual intercourse during menstruation?
Well, you can get pregnant during menstruation! Even though the chances are low, you should consider using protection. You can get pregnant during ovulation, so calculating the time when you will ovulate it is essential if you are avoiding conceiving.
There are a few factors important and should be considered.
- Eggs can stay in your fallopian tube, after ovulation, for 24 hours.
- Sperm can live in your body for 3-5 days after sexual intercourse.
Women can get pregnant at any time if they are ovulating. This is not a valid point for same-sex intercourse, but safety measures should be taken to protect oneself from diseases. Even if you are menstruating, you need to use a safety measure to ensure no hazard is done.
Is sex during menstruation permissive by religion?
Religion will never accept the fact that women and a man cannot have sexual activities during menstruation. This is because a woman is considered impure during her menstruation.
