Can you have sex during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can I have sex during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

During the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy, sexual intercourse is prohibited, as it may lead to miscarriage and preterm labor. For women in the stable period of the second trimester, which is around the 4-6 month mark of pregnancy, appropriate sexual intercourse can be considered, using condoms to prevent seminal fluid from causing uterine infection. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal discharge test to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
