Patient's question:
Doctor, I haven't had sexual activity before, but my menstrual cycle has always been very regular. Recently, I had sexual activity, and afterward, I noticed that my period has started to be irregular. I'm a bit puzzled. Could irregular menstruation be related to sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation has nothing to do with sexual life. If you have had an induced abortion or taken emergency contraception, it can affect your menstruation. It is recommended that you go to the gynecology department for laboratory tests of the six sex hormones and undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination to check the condition of the endometrium. After a clear diagnosis, take medication under the guidance of a doctor to regulate your condition. Pay attention to personal hygiene. Avoid sexual activity during the menstrual period to prevent intrauterine infection. Gynecological diseases are a type of gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently.
