Patient's question:
I had my period last month, and once my husband drank too much and insisted on having sex with me. There was no way, so I gave in. At that time, I had already broken the skin down there. I've heard people say before that having sex during your period makes it very easy to get sick. So, could just one instance of having sex during your period lead to endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
During the menstrual period, the uterus and pelvic cavity are in a state of congestion, and a person's resistance is relatively low. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during this time. If sexual intercourse occurs, it may lead to the recurrence of various gynecological infections, including the possibility of endometriosis. In the later stages, there is also a risk of recurrent immunological infertility. It is recommended to immediately and strictly prohibit sexual activity and actively use medication to treat inflammation. If the symptoms are severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly for symptomatic treatment.When patients face gynecological problems, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid delaying medical consultation. If gynecological conditions do not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
