Patient's question:
Can you have sex on the fourth day of your period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, coitus is prohibited during the menstrual period because the endometrium forms wounds during this time, and the immunity of various systems decreases, making it easy to lead to inflammatory infections, such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis. Additionally, the body is weak and prone to blood and qi deficiency, with the cervix dilated. If sexual activity occurs, it can easily cause gynecological inflammatory infections. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid sexual activity during the menstrual period. During the menstrual period, it is important to strengthen nutrition and pay attention to keeping warm.
