Patient's question:
I am 25 years old this year, and we have been married for almost a year. My husband's workplace is quite far, so he lives in the accommodation provided by the company, while I rent a house outside. Due to the long-distance relationship, we cherish every moment we spend together. There have been a few times when I finished my period and had sexual activity within a day or two. Afterward, I was very worried about whether it would affect my health. Last time, I read in a newspaper that having sex during menstruation can lead to infertility. I have been very concerned about this. I would like to ask if my situation could lead to infertility, as my husband and I both really want children and are eagerly looking forward to it. Thank you!!Doctor's answer:
The reasons related to women include many factors, such as ovulation disorders, fallopian tube factors, uterine factors, developmental abnormalities of the cervix and vulva, and long-term chronic inflammatory stimulation. For men, it includes low sperm count, azoospermia, dead sperm, sperm non-liquefaction, low motility, and poor quality. After examination, symptomatic treatment is required. The occurrence of female infertility not only affects the patient's physical health but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a gynecological examination at a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness of the perineal skin.
