As society rapidly develops, people’s minds become more open and ideas surrounding sexual activity constantly change. Many young couples engage in sex at an early age, but premature sexual activity can have a significant impact on both men and women, especially women. Women must learn to treasure their bodies. So, what harm can early sex bring to women?
1. Premature births can cause damage and infection to the reproductive system.
Due to the underdeveloped reproductive system of adolescent girls, the vulva and vagina are very vulnerable. The vaginal tissue is shorter, and sexual intercourse can cause severe tearing of the hymen, vaginal fissures, and heavy bleeding. Pathogenic microorganisms or dirt may also be introduced into the vagina. During this period, the female body’s defense function is weak, making it easy to cause urinary tract, vulva, and vaginal infections. If not controlled in time, the infection will spread.
2. Early sexual activity may result in adverse consequences due to pregnancy.
After menstruation, women begin ovulating, and if they engage in sexual activity without using effective contraception, there is a high likelihood of pregnancy. Once pregnant, an artificial termination must be performed. Artificial termination is not only harmful to a woman’s physical health but can lead to a range of complications, including infection, bleeding, uterine perforation, habitual abortion, post-marital infertility, public opinion pressure, self-reflection, guilt, and severe psychological trauma that can even affect normal sexual activity in marriage.
3. Early sexual activity can seriously affect mental health.
Because adolescent girls’ sexual activities are often carried out secretly and under extremely tense conditions, they lack necessary preparation (mainly the learning of sexual knowledge and psychological preparation). During and after sexual activity, fears of pregnancy, exposure, fear itself, guilt, and regret often exist. For a long time, this can lead to aversion to men, aversion to sex, decreased sexual desire, sexual hypersensitivity, and sexual indifference, resulting in psychological dysfunction.
4. Early sexual activity can affect learning and work.
Teenage girls are in their prime studying, working, and knowledge accumulation stage of life, creating a better future for themselves. Engaging in sexual activity at this age will undoubtedly affect their vigor for learning and work, which is detrimental to themselves, their families, and society. Therefore, adolescence should avoid sexual activity. Adolescent girls should cherish their youth and bodies and focus their attention and interests on learning and work. This is essential for their healthy growth, career success, and happiness in life.
