Patient's question:
I used to have very regular periods, coming every 32 days, and they would always last only about five to six days. However, recently, due to our close relationship with my boyfriend and the increased frequency of our sexual activity, I've noticed some irregularity in my periods. I wanted to ask if there is a connection between menstrual irregularity and sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
Sexual activity is generally never the cause of menstrual disorders. If menstrual disorders reappear, they may be related to factors such as nervous tension, irregular lifestyle, endocrine disorders, or medication intake. Once menstrual disorder symptoms occur, it is necessary to promptly examine the underlying causes and seek proper treatment to avoid affecting overall health. During medication, attention should also be paid to lifestyle adjustments and the elimination of unhealthy habits.
