Is there danger in having sex during menstruation?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My boyfriend has a very high sex drive. Sometimes he has sex with me even when I'm on my period. We've done this three or four times, all on the second day of my period. Is it dangerous to have sex during menstruation? Will there be any consequences?
Previous diagnoses and treatment history, as well as effectiveness: I previously had cervical erosion (degree 3), but it was diagnosed without any tests! I didn't have any discomfort either! My vagina also showed no symptoms! Also, what are the symptoms of cervical erosion (degree 3)?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if there are no discomforts in your body, it's nothing to worry about. The most obvious symptoms for moderate to severe cervical erosion are increased leukorrhea, yellow in color, viscous in texture, or leukorrhea mixed with blood streaks. In some cases, post-coital bleeding may occur. Long-term stimulation of the external genitalia by inflammatory leukorrhea can also lead to vulvar pruritus. Additionally, since the cervical lymphatic channels are directly connected to the parametrium, inflammation can spread to the pelvic cavity through the lymphatic system, causing parametritis and symptoms such as lower back and sacral pain, as well as lower abdominal distension. In some cases, infertility may also be caused by cervical erosion.
