Patient's question:
I had sexual intercourse on the first day of my period, and it was very painful. I also had some discharge and some skin breakdown. When I wiped with paper, aside from the fleshly substance, is there any inflammation? It hurts very much every day. What is going on, doctor? I want to ask what causes vaginal bleeding and increased discharge?Doctor's answer:
During menstruation, sexual intercourse may allow bacteria to be introduced into the vagina. Menstrual blood is an excellent medium for the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms, making it easy for bacteria to thrive. They can spread along the many small wounds and broken capillaries in the endometrium, potentially infecting the endometrium and even damaging the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs.In your case, it could be due to a gynecological infection. I recommend that you visit a hospital for examination to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment.
The daily treatment for gynecological conditions primarily involves medication. Patients can take oral medications and supplement them with vitamins. Additionally, it’s important to follow a diet that includes light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
