Doctor's answer:
Hello, sexual activity during menstruation does not lead to pregnancy. Menstruation is a period where sexual intercourse is prohibited because during this time, the endometrium forms wounds, and the immune system of various systems declines, making it easier to cause inflammatory infections such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis. Additionally, during female sexual arousal, uterine contractions may cause menstrual blood to flow back into the pelvic cavity, leading to endometrial implantation and potentially causing endometriosis. Endometriosis may affect fertility, so sexual intercourse during menstruation should be avoided.
