Patient's question:
Is the chance of pregnancy zero on the third day of the menstrual period when having intercourse with the doctor? Even if ovulation occurs earlier, it won't be that early, right?Thanks!
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Having sex during menstruation is absolutely impossible to get pregnant, with a zero chance of conception! This is because women do not ovulate during this time. However, it is best not to have sex during menstruation, as it is not good for the body. Generally, the vaginal discharge in women is acidic, which can kill foreign bacteria. But during menstruation, the vaginal discharge is neutralized by menstrual blood, becoming alkaline and creating a favorable environment for bacterial growth. During menstruation, the uterine lining sheds, leaving wounds inside the uterus, and the cervix is slightly open. Sexual activity can introduce bacteria, leading to inflammation of the reproductive organs. If a woman already has chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, menstrual sex can trigger an acute episode. Menstrual sex can also exacerbate uterine congestion, causing heavier menstrual flow, prolonged periods, or increased menstrual discomfort. Decide for yourself!
