What are the effects of having sex during menstruation?

Patient's question:

What happens if you have sex during your period? Does it cause any harm to women? What are the problems with having sex on the last day of your period?

Doctor's answer:

??????Hello, sexual activity is prohibited during menstruation. It should be noted that during the menstrual period, the endometrium forms wounds, and the immunity of various systems decreases, making it easy to lead to inflammatory infections, such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis. Additionally, during female sexual arousal, uterine contractions may cause menstrual blood to flow back into the pelvic cavity, leading to the implantation of endometrium and resulting in endometriosis. Endometriosis may affect fertility, so sexual activity during menstruation should be avoided.
