Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I have sex during my period?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is prohibited during sexual intercourse because the endometrium forms wounds during this period, and the immune function of various systems declines, making it easy to cause inflammatory 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 resulting in endometriosis. Endometriosis may affect fertility, so sexual intercourse during menstruation should be avoided.
