Doctor's answer:

During the menstrual period, the endometrium of the uterus sheds, creating a wound, and the cervix is also slightly open. If sexual intercourse occurs at this time, the male reproductive organ can introduce bacteria, leading to endometrial infection and pelvic inflammatory disease, causing pain for the woman. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects a woman's life but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a gynecological examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
