Patient's question:
On the eighth day of the menstrual cycle, if there is brown discharge and sexual intercourse occurs, will it cause inflammation or infertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, sexual activity during menstruation will not lead to pregnancy, but it is forbidden to have intercourse during the menstrual period. This is because the endometrium forms wounds during the menstrual period, and the immunity of various systems decreases, making it easy to cause infections 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 endometrial implantation and potentially causing endometriosis. Endometriosis may affect fertility. It is recommended to pay attention to menstrual hygiene to avoid infections of various diseases. During the menstrual period, take care of your body and pay attention to hygiene.
