Patient's question:
Can women have sexual intercourse during their menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, coitus during menstruation is prohibited because during menstruation, the endometrium forms wounds, and the immunity of various systems decreases, making it easy to lead to inflammatory infections, such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis. Additionally, during female sexual arousal, uterine contractions may cause menstrual blood to flow back into the pelvic cavity, leading to the implantation of endometrial tissue and causing endometriosis. Endometriosis may affect fertility, so coitus during menstruation should be avoided.
