Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can women have sexual intercourse during their period?Doctor's answer:
During menstruation, sexual intercourse should be avoided because the cervix is in an open state, and the endometrium peels off to form menstruation. During sexual activity, pathogens can easily invade the open cervix and reach the uterus. Menstrual blood is an excellent culture medium for bacteria, and one of the reasons women are prone to infection during menstruation is that their body's resistance is low. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
