Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? I wonder what will happen if I have sex before my period is completely gone?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is not allowed. Intercourse is prohibited during the menstrual period because the endometrium is exposed and vulnerable during this time, and the immune system of various systems is weakened. Through the thrusting and pulling actions of sexual activity, pathogens carried by the reproductive organs of both parties can ascend, leading to conditions such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis. Additionally, during female sexual arousal, uterine contractions may cause menstrual blood to flow backward into the pelvic cavity, leading to endometrial implantation and the development of endometriosis. Endometriosis can potentially affect fertility. Sexual activity during the menstrual period is a major factor that severely harms women's health and causes infertility. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid intercourse during the menstrual period.
