Can sexual intercourse during menstruation lead to pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor. I had my period on the 23rd last month. Today, on November 18, I experienced bleeding during intercourse, but now it seems to have stopped. Is this early menstruation? Will it affect fertility?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, coitus during menstruation is impossible to conceive because there is no ovulation at this time, and the uterus is not ready for the implantation of a fertilized egg. It is not possible to get pregnant.
1. Coitus during menstruation is impossible to conceive.
2. Coitus during menstruation is strictly prohibited. Because the endometrium has certain wounds at this time, coitus can easily introduce bacteria, leading to inflammatory infections. During coitus, menstrual blood reflux can cause endometriosis. Additionally, male sperm or other substances may enter the female bloodstream through the wounds during coitus, leading to the production of antisperm antibodies and increasing the risk of infertility.
3. It is recommended to have coitus three days after menstruation ends. Pay attention to personal hygiene. If you do not want to have children, it is best to take appropriate contraceptive measures. It is recommended to use condoms for contraception, as this can not only prevent pregnancy but also reduce the risk of inflammatory infections caused by bacteria introduced during coitus.
