Why can't you have sex when your menstrual cycle is irregular?

Patient's question:

I had my period on the 20th and it ended on the 25th. But right after it ended, we had sex. Then, after two clean days, I had my period again. Why is this happening? I need assistance: I want to know why this is happening.

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation is a relatively common disease in clinical practice, with multiple causes, and different treatments are required for different reasons. As for irregular menstruation and whether it is possible to have sexual intercourse, there is no direct relationship between the two. Even if menstruation does not occur normally, it is still possible to have sexual intercourse. However, long-term irregular menstruation can affect overall health. For example, prolonged menstruation or excessive menstrual flow can lead to anemia and low immunity; irritability, poor sleep; obesity, and other endocrine disorders. Therefore, it is important to pay attention and seek proper medical treatment.
