Is there harm in having sex during menstruation while taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

Small amount, and slightly uncomfortable in the stomach. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment. What kind of help is needed: Please have the doctor explain.

Doctor's answer:

Having sexual intercourse during menstruation may lead to the following adverse consequences again: First, due to both parties' excitement, the insertion of the penis may cause the female reproductive organs to become engorged, resulting in an increase in menstrual flow and prolonged periods. Second, during sexual intercourse at this time, the male reproductive organ may introduce bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms, making it easy for bacteria to multiply. They can spread along the many tiny wounds and small broken blood vessels in the endometrium, infecting the endometrium, and potentially damaging the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, thereby causing unnecessary trouble for the woman. Third, menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also lead to the development of urethritis.
