Patient's question:
What is the reason for menstruation to stop on the third day after sexual intercourse during the menstrual period? What is the reason for menstruation to stop on the third day after sexual intercourse during the menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
The consequences arising from cohabitation, such as sexual activity during menstruation, may lead to the following adverse effects: First, due to mutual 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 masturbation 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 small wounds and broken capillaries in the endometrium, leading to endometritis and potentially affecting 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.
