What kind of help do you want: Detailed answers

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, as long as your menstruation has not yet ended, it is still considered within the menstrual period. Sexual activity during the menstrual period may lead to prolonged menstruation and an increase in menstrual flow. It is also more prone to infections such as vaginitis and cervical inflammation. Therefore, sexual activity during the menstrual period is prohibited. It is recommended to take good care of your body, pay attention to avoiding sexual activity during the menstrual period, and maintain good personal hygiene, changing underwear frequently. If this symptom occurs frequently, it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis. After confirmation, timely treatment should be administered.
