Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me the harms of having sex during an incomplete menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
During menstruation, sexual intercourse can easily lead to reproductive and urinary tract infections, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, endometriosis, cervicitis, vaginitis, urinary tract infections, and excessive menstrual flow or prolonged periods. Therefore, for the sake of health, it is best to abstain from sexual activity during this time.Irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. It is recommended to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a check-up to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
