Patient's question:
Our happiness is always split between two places. It's rare for my husband to be home today because he's on leave. But today, I'm on my period, so he'll have to leave the day after tomorrow. Neither of us has ever felt truly intimate. I was wondering if it's okay to use a condom during sex tomorrow while I'm on my period.Doctor's answer:
During the menstrual period, women's bodies are weak, with depleted qi and blood. If sexual activity occurs, it is very easy to contract gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid sexual activity during the menstrual period to prevent downward transmission of inflammation. During the menstrual period, it is important to pay attention to preventing colds, avoid overexertion, pay attention to personal hygiene, and also pay attention to the hygiene of sexual life. Before and after sexual activity, it is necessary to wash with warm water.
