What are the effects of having sex during your period?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the effects of having sex during menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

It is essential to avoid sexual activity during menstruation. Otherwise, it is very easy to cause infections. During menstruation, the endometrium sheds, forming wounds. The male reproductive organ may introduce bacteria into the vagina, causing unnecessary trouble for the woman. Additionally, due to the discharge of menstrual blood, the acidic environment in the vagina is diluted, weakening its self-cleaning ability. This may lead to urethritis, infection of the endometrium, and pelvic inflammatory disease, causing pain for the woman.
