Patient's question:
What happens if a woman has sex during her menstrual period? Will it be easy to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello! During the menstrual period, a woman's cervix is slightly open. If sexual intercourse occurs at this time, the male reproductive organ 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. They can spread along the many tiny wounds and broken small blood vessels in the endometrium, leading to endometrial infection, and may even affect the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs. Additionally, during sexual arousal, uterine contractions can push endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, potentially causing endometriosis. Therefore, it is recommended not to have sexual intercourse during the menstrual period. Wishing you good health!
