Patient's question:
Is it possible to get pregnant if sperm is released during sex during my menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, sexual intercourse during menstruation does not lead to pregnancy, but it is very easy to get infected. This is because the cervix is in an open state during menstruation, and the endometrium is shed. During sexual activity, pathogens can easily invade the open cervix and reach the uterus. Menstrual blood is an excellent culture medium for bacteria, and the weakened immune system of women during menstruation is also one of the reasons for easy infection. Once infected, it is easy to develop conditions such as endometritis, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Clinically, symptoms such as abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, and cycle changes may occur. This can severely harm women's health and even lead to infertility. It is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation and seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
