Doctor's answer:

During the menstrual cycle, the endometrium of the uterus sheds, creating a wound, and the cervix is also slightly open. If sexual intercourse occurs at this time, the male reproductive organ can introduce bacteria, leading to an infection of the endometrium and pelvic inflammatory disease, causing pain for the woman.
