Patient's question:
I had sex before my period was completely clean. Is there a problem?Doctor's answer:
Intercourse during menstruation can easily cause gynecological infections. The harm of intercourse during menstruation is extremely great: (1) It can easily cause various inflammations, such as endometritis, fallopian tube inflammation, and even pelvic inflammation and infertility. (2) The uterine contractions caused by intercourse during menstruation can push menstrual blood into the abdominal cavity, posing a risk of endometriosis. (3) During intercourse during menstruation, some sperm and other components of semen may enter a woman's bloodstream through small blood vessel tears, stimulating the immune system to form anti-sperm antibodies and leading to immunological infertility. (4) Various blood-borne infectious diseases can be transmitted to each other. (5) Intercourse during menstruation can cause increased bleeding or prolonged bleeding duration. Therefore, it should be avoided as much as possible during menstruation.
