Patient's question:
My girlfriend's period arrived 3 days earlier than usual. Is that normal?Additionally, is there any danger in having sex during menstruation?
Does it increase the chances of getting pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, coitus is prohibited during menstruation. Intercourse during menstruation can easily spread bacteria into the vagina, causing inflammation of the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and pelvic cavity, and even lead to systemic infection, with very serious consequences. It is recommended to wait until menstruation has completely subsided before engaging in intercourse.Advice: It is recommended that both partners restrain themselves during menstruation and avoid sexual intercourse. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
