Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! When I first started my period, it was relatively normal, and it usually came on time. Since I had sexual intercourse again with my boyfriend, my period has started to be delayed, or I often experience menstrual pain. I want to know if irregular menstruation is related to sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Hello, sexual activity itself will never cause menstrual disorders. On the contrary, regular sexual activity can regulate the endocrine system and thus help regulate menstruation. However, if hygiene in the perineal area is not paid attention to during sexual activity, it is very easy to introduce pathogens in reverse, leading to intrauterine infections, which can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, increased leukorrhea, and menstrual disorders. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and address the issue accordingly based on the situation.
