Patient's question:
I had sexual intercourse with my husband on the fourth day of my period. At first, there was no menstrual blood, but there was bleeding afterward. Could this cause infertility? What are the consequences? Is there any way to remedy this? I urgently need a reply.Doctor's answer:
Hello, coitus during menstruation is prohibited as it increases the risk of infection. Additionally, due to the slight dilation of the cervix, the shedding of the endometrium, and the dilution of vaginal acidic secretions by menstrual blood, the inhibitory effect on bacteria is reduced. 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. Avoid coitus during menstruation in the future.
