After intercourse during menstruation, abnormal vaginal discharge is likely caused by vaginitis, possibly due to an infection. Further tests are needed to diagnose the type of vaginitis and treat accordingly. It is best to visit a hospital promptly for a thorough examination and diagnosis. Pay attention to maintaining cleanliness of the external genital area. Avoid using soap to wash the external genital area. During menstruation, pay attention to hygiene: do not take tub baths or sitz baths, and maintain showering. Also, use clean water to rinse the vagina more frequently.
