Patient's question:
On the eighth day of the menstrual cycle, if there is brown discharge and sexual intercourse occurs, will it cause inflammation or infertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, sexual activity during menstruation will not lead to pregnancy, but it is prohibited to have sex during this period. This is because the endometrium forms wounds during menstruation, and the immune system of various systems declines, making it easier to cause 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 the implantation of endometrium and resulting in endometriosis. Endometriosis may potentially affect fertility. It is recommended to pay attention to menstrual hygiene to avoid infections of various diseases. During menstruation, take care of your body and pay attention to hygiene.
