Patient's question:
Did I have intercourse with my wife during her menstrual period a few times, which will definitely cause her to produce sperm antibodies and become infertile? How high is the probability?Doctor's answer:
During the menstrual period, sexual intercourse will not lead to pregnancy, but it is prohibited during menstruation because sexual activity during this time increases the risk of infection. During menstruation, the cervix is slightly open, the endometrium sheds, blood sinuses open, and the body's immune system declines. Sexual activity during this period can easily cause bacterial infections. The shedding of the endometrium during menstruation forms wounds, and the cervix remains slightly open. Additionally, the discharge of menstrual blood dilutes the acidic environment of the vagina, weakening its self-cleaning ability. Sexual activity during this period increases the risk of gynecological infections.
