Patient's question:
No sexual activity due to work being busy. What are the effects if sexual activity occurs on the last day of menstruation?Doctor's answer:
The menstrual period is prohibited for sexual intercourse, as it can easily lead to inflammatory infections, forming conditions such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis. Additionally, during female sexual arousal, uterine contractions may cause menstrual blood to flow back into the pelvic cavity, leading to the implantation of endometrial tissue and resulting in endometriosis. Endometriosis may affect fertility, so sexual intercourse during the menstrual period should be avoided.
