Doctor's answer:
Hello:During the menstrual period, women's cerebral cortex excitability decreases, and the body's resistance to disease declines, making them more susceptible to infections. At the same time, due to the slight dilation of the cervix, the shedding of the endometrium, and the dilution of vaginal acidic secretions by menstrual blood, the inhibitory ability against bacteria is reduced. Once bacteria invade, it is very easy to cause menstrual disorders and inflammation of the reproductive organs. In severe cases, it can even affect future fertility.
If sexual intercourse occurs during the menstrual period, the penis itself carries bacteria, and entering the vagina can introduce bacteria from the external genital area. Additionally, it can damage the vaginal mucosa, making the vaginal resistance lower and increasing the likelihood of infection. Therefore, young couples, especially newlyweds, should have a full understanding of this. Seeking immediate pleasure can lead to serious consequences.
A gynecological examination can be conducted, and active anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
