Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 25 years old. I have a question that has been troubling me for a long time, and I am feeling particularly distressed. I would like to consult you. On the third day of my period, I had sexual intercourse and then took emergency contraception. Is it effective? I really need your clarification and explanation. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is not advisable to have sexual intercourse during menstruation. Engaging in sexual activity during menstruation can lead to numerous risks, potentially causing hormonal imbalances in women, menstrual disorders, and various gynecological infections, among other issues. Sexual intercourse during menstruation will never result in childbirth, and there is no need to take birth control pills. However, it is essential to completely avoid sexual activity to prevent the aforementioned risks. For men, it can also lead to certain infections and other complications.
