Patient's question:
The menstrual period usually lasts for about 5 days, and it completely cleans up in about 7 days. May I ask if it's okay to have sex in the last two days? What are the effects if I have sex? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Hello, coitus is prohibited during the menstrual period because the excitability of the cerebral cortex decreases during menstruation, and the body's resistance to diseases declines, making it easier to get infected. At the same time, since the cervix is slightly open, the shedding of the endometrium and the vaginal acidic secretions are diluted by menstrual blood, reducing the ability to inhibit bacteria. Once bacteria invade, it is very easy to cause menstrual disorders and inflammation of the reproductive organs. In severe cases, it may also affect future fertility. If there is any discomfort, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations, and after diagnosis, symptomatic treatment should be given according to your own condition.
