Patient's question:
I usually have my period for five days, but this time the first two days were very heavy, and the amount decreased on the third day. Then, on the third night, I had sex with my boyfriend. Afterward, I cleaned my external genital area with a liquid, but there was some tearing because it felt a bit painful during washing. On the fourth day, my period was normal, with bright red blood, but I had some lower back pain.How likely am I to get a gynecological infection in this situation? What does it mean to be infected with a gynecological infection? When can I be sure that everything is fine?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, coitus is prohibited during the menstrual period because the endometrium forms wounds during this time, and the immunity of various systems decreases, making it easy to lead to inflammatory infections such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid coitus during the menstrual period. Wishing you good health.There are many factors that can cause immunological infertility, and patients need to be treated promptly. It is recommended to seek treatment at a local hospital for your condition. Pay attention to the development of your condition and avoid indiscriminate treatment. Additionally, it is essential to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain personal hygiene. Best wishes for your recovery!
