Desired Help: Engaging in sexual intercourse before the menstrual period is completely clean, and there was also bleeding during the intercourse. Is this bad for health?
Doctor's answer:
If your situation involves having sexual intercourse shortly after your menstrual period has just stopped, it may cause congestion in the uterine cavity, leading to rebleeding of the endometrium and vaginal bleeding. Additionally, engaging in sexual activity during menstruation is more likely to exacerbate pelvic congestion, resulting in prolonged menstruation, increased menstrual flow, and other gynecological complications such as dysmenorrhea. Furthermore, during sexual activity, bacteria attached to the male penis, urethra, and the female vaginal opening can enter the female reproductive tract, potentially causing infections of the reproductive organs and damaging the yet-to-recover endometrium. It is recommended that normal sexual activity should not be resumed until 2-3 days after the menstrual period has completely ended, as this is more beneficial for women's reproductive health.
