Patient's question:
Today I have my period but my husband really wants to have sex. Wearing a condom is okay. I want to ask if it's okay to have sex while on your period with a condom?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation, also known as a menstrual period, is a physiological cycle primarily composed of blood, fragments of endometrial tissue, various active enzymes, and biological factors. Even with the use of condoms, it is not advisable to engage in sexual activity during menstruation because a woman's immunity is weakened during this time, making her more susceptible to infections such as vaginitis or pelvic inflammatory disease. It is essential to ensure sufficient deep sleep every day, especially during menstruation, and to avoid overexertion, consuming soy products, and eating and cold foods. This is because the hands are full of bacteria.
