Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I am currently on my period, but last night, under my boyfriend's coercion, we had sexual intercourse. This was also my first time. What should I do? Doctor, please help me. Is it okay to take Yu Ting?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Having sex during menstruation is absolutely impossible to get pregnant, with a zero chance of conception! This is because women do not ovulate during this time. However, it is best not to have sex during menstruation, as it is not good for the body. Generally, the vaginal secretions of a woman are acidic, which can kill foreign bacteria. But during menstruation, the vaginal secretions are neutralized by menstrual blood, becoming alkaline and creating a good breeding ground for bacteria. During menstruation, the endometrium of the uterus sheds, leaving wounds inside the uterus, and the cervix is slightly open. Sexual intercourse can introduce bacteria, leading to inflammation of the reproductive organs. If a woman already has chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, menstrual sex can trigger an acute episode. Menstrual sex can also exacerbate uterine congestion, causing heavier menstrual flow, prolonged periods, or increased menstrual discomfort. Decide for yourself!
