Patient's question:
After having mild vaginitis, there is a slight pain in the left inner wall of the vagina, not very painful, but it also causes a bit of pain in the left buttock, making it uncomfortable. The lower abdomen and stomach are not painful or bloated. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello! From a medical perspective, it is not advisable to have sexual intercourse during your menstrual period because:First, due to mutual excitement, the insertion of the penis can cause congestion in the female reproductive organs, leading to increased menstrual flow and prolonged periods.
Second, during sexual intercourse at this time, male reproductive organs may introduce bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms, making it easy for bacteria to multiply and spread along the many tiny wounds and broken blood vessels in the endometrium. This can lead to endometrial infection and may even affect the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, causing unnecessary complications for the woman.
Third, menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis.
Fourth, sexual intercourse during menstruation can cause sperm to encounter damaged endometrium and spilled blood cells, or even enter the bloodstream. This may trigger the production of antisperm antibodies, leading to immunological infertility or infertility.
Fifth, during menstruation, sexual arousal causes uterine contractions, which may push endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, leading to endometriosis and potentially causing infertility.
