Patient's question:
Why can't you share a bed during your period?Doctor's answer:
(1) It can easily cause various inflammations, such as endometritis, salpingitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and even infertility.(2) Intercourse during menstruation can cause uterine contractions, which may allow menstrual blood to enter the abdominal cavity, posing a risk of endometriosis.
(3) During menstruation, some sperm and other components of semen may enter a woman's bloodstream through small blood vessel breaks, stimulating the immune system to form anti-sperm antibodies and leading to immunological infertility.
(4) Various blood-borne infectious diseases can be transmitted between partners.
(5) Intercourse during menstruation may cause increased bleeding or prolonged bleeding duration. It is best to avoid this situation as much as possible. If it happens occasionally and there are no other abnormal symptoms, it is usually not a major issue—just wait and see without immediate treatment. Don’t worry. Consider yourself lucky, but frequent occurrences may lead to the problems mentioned above. Be mindful of avoiding this situation as much as possible.
