Patient's question:
My husband often goes out to work and this time he went to Singapore. He stayed there for a year before coming back. Unfortunately, when he returned, it was during my period. My husband couldn't hold back and had sex with me. Afterward, I was very worried, fearing I might get a vaginal infection. Could I get a vaginal infection from having sex during my period?Doctor's answer:
Generally, sexual intercourse during a woman's menstrual period may lead to menstrual disorders, intrauterine infections, endometritis, vaginitis, and various other infections. If sexual intercourse is repeated frequently, it may cause the recurrence of antisperm antibodies, and the risk of secondary infertility is relatively high. Therefore, it is important to carefully observe the normal amount of bleeding during pregnancy and pay attention to hygiene. In addition to active treatment for vaginitis, patients should also pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in their daily lives.
