Patient's question:
Doctor,I am 22 years old. My last menstrual period started on the 20th of last month and ended on the 26th. A few days after it ended, I had sexual intercourse within six days. However, I took four emergency contraceptive pills. This month, on the 4th, I had another menstrual period, and the amount was almost the same as usual. Then, on the 20th of this month, I had another period, but it was just a few drops! I didn’t feel any other discomfort. Could you please tell me if there is a high possibility of pregnancy? Is the blood I got on the 4th of this month my period? How should I handle this?
Doctor's answer:
??????Menstruation is prohibited during sexual intercourse because the endometrium forms wounds during this period, and the immunity of various systems decreases, making it easy to cause inflammatory infections, such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis. However, you don't need to worry, and it doesn't necessarily mean you will get infected. But you must avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation in the future.
