What should I do if my period comes after cohabitation?

Patient's question:

I don't know if my period has arrived, we had sex in the morning, and only after that did I find out that my period had arrived. Is it harmful to the body? What should I do.

Doctor's answer:

Menstruation is strictly prohibited during intercourse, as the endometrium has wounds during this period, and the immunity of various systems declines, making it easy for inflammation to spread, leading to conditions such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis. However, in your case, the menstruation occurred after intercourse, so there is no issue. Pay attention to hygiene and rest during your period to prevent the recurrence of inflammation. There is no need to worry too much. If you experience discomfort after menstruation has ended, you should seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
