Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Does having sex during menstruation cause pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, sexual activity during menstruation will not lead to pregnancy, but sexual intercourse is prohibited during menstruation. This is because the endometrium forms wounds during the menstrual period, and the immunity of various systems decreases, making it easier to develop 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 resulting in endometriosis. Endometriosis may affect fertility, so it is necessary to avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.
