Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, as long as your menstruation has not yet ended, it is still considered to be during the menstrual period. Sexual activity during the menstrual period may lead to an extended duration of menstruation and an increase in menstrual flow. It also makes it easier to contract gynecological diseases such as vaginitis and cervicitis. Therefore, sexual activity should be avoided during the menstrual period. It is recommended to take care of your body, pay attention to avoiding sexual activity during the menstrual period, and maintain good personal hygiene, changing underwear frequently. If this symptom occurs frequently, it is advised to visit a hospital for relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis. After confirmation, timely treatment should be administered.
