Patient's question:
Why do you feel like having sex in the days before your period and also during your period? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Guidance: Intercourse is not allowed during menstruation. Engaging in sexual activity during menstruation can lead to the following adverse consequences:First, due to mutual excitement, the insertion of the penis may cause the female reproductive organs to become congested, leading to an increase in menstrual flow and prolonged periods.
Second, during this time, sexual intercourse may introduce bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms. Bacteria can easily multiply and spread along the many small wounds and broken capillaries in the endometrium, potentially infecting the endometrium and even affecting the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, causing unnecessary complications for the woman.
Third, menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis.
Fourth, during menstrual intercourse, sperm may encounter damaged endometrial sites and spilled blood cells, or even enter the bloodstream, potentially triggering the production of antisperm antibodies. This can lead to immunological infertility or sterility.
Fifth, during menstrual intercourse, uterine contractions during sexual arousal may push endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and potentially leading to infertility.
Therefore, for the health and fertility of both partners, sexual intercourse during menstruation should be strictly avoided under all circumstances.
