Will having sex during your period get you pregnant?

Patient's question:

On the first day of my period, I had sex with my boyfriend. Sperm was released inside. If my period is normal in the next few days, will I have a normal period next month? Will I get pregnant? Will the sperm come out with my period? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Having sex during menstruation will not lead to pregnancy. Sex during menstruation can easily cause gynecological infections. The dangers of having sex during menstruation are significant: (1) It can easily cause various inflammations, such as endometritis, fallopian tube inflammation, pelvic inflammation, and infertility. (2) The uterine contractions caused by sex during menstruation can push menstrual blood into the abdominal cavity, increasing the risk of endometriosis. (3) During menstruation, some sperm and other components of semen may enter a woman's bloodstream through small blood vessel tears, stimulating the immune system to form antisperm antibodies and leading to immunological infertility. (4) Various blood-borne infectious diseases can be transmitted between partners. (5) Sex during menstruation can cause increased bleeding or prolonged bleeding duration. It should be avoided as much as possible during menstruation.
