Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How should I deal with the strong desire to have sex during my period?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is prohibited during sexual intercourse because the endometrium is exposed to wounds during this period, and the immunity of various systems declines. Through the pushing and pulling 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 back into the pelvic cavity, leading to endometrial implantation and endometriosis. Endometriosis may affect fertility. Sexual intercourse during menstruation is a major factor that severely harms women's health and causes infertility. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid sexual activity during menstruation. It is recommended to divert your attention and take more walks. Engaging in moderate outdoor exercise is also beneficial.
