Patient's question:
Yesterday my husband just came back from doing odd jobs in another place. Yesterday was the first day of my period, and my husband couldn't resist having sex with me. Afterward, both of us cleaned up. I'm still very worried—will having sex during my period lead to a vaginal infection?Doctor's answer:
During the menstrual period, a woman's body has a weakened immune system. It is strictly prohibited to engage in sexual activity, and attention should be paid to preventing colds and avoiding heavy physical labor. If sexual activity occurs during the period, it can easily lead to infections in the reproductive tract. Of course, if there is no abdominal pain or other abnormalities after intercourse, it is only necessary to wait and see. If any abnormal symptoms appear, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Vaginitis can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is essential to seek medical treatment in a timely manner. At the same time, it is important to pay close attention to self-care, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition. It is hoped that patients with vaginitis can receive professional treatment.
