Patient's question:
Why does menstrual bleeding significantly decrease after sexual intercourse during menstruation? Who knows!Doctor's answer:
Hello:Sexual activity during menstruation generally leads to increased menstrual flow, though the reasons for this reduction are unclear.
During menstruation, a woman's cerebral cortex excitability decreases, and the body's resistance to disease diminishes, making it easier to contract infections. At the same time, the cervix remains slightly open, and the shedding of the endometrium, along with the dilution of vaginal acidic secretions by menstrual blood, reduces the inhibitory effect on bacteria. If bacteria invade, it can easily cause menstrual disorders and inflammation of the reproductive organs. In severe cases, it may even affect future fertility.
