Patient's question:
I often have sex during my period with my husband. Now we want to have a child, but I don't know if having sex during your period has any negative effects?Doctor's answer:
Women should avoid sexual intercourse during their menstrual period. During menstruation, the acidic environment in the vagina changes, making it easier for many pathogenic bacteria to enter. If sexual intercourse occurs during this time, it can easily lead to various gynecological infections. In the long run, this can result in infertility, so it is best to avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation. Additionally, it is recommended to eat a light diet, change underwear and pants frequently, and pay attention to personal hygiene during this period. This can help prevent bacterial invasion.
