Patient's question:
Can you have sex during your period?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Absolutely not! During the menstrual period, the excitability of the cerebral cortex decreases, and the body's resistance to disease declines, making it easier to contract infections. At the same time, 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 ability against bacteria is reduced. Once bacteria invade, it can easily cause menstrual disorders and inflammation of the reproductive organs, which can severely affect future fertility.If sexual intercourse occurs during the menstrual period, the penis itself carries bacteria, and entering the vagina can introduce bacteria from the external genital area. Additionally, it can damage the vaginal mucosa, reducing the vaginal resistance and making it easier to get sick. Therefore, young couples, especially newlyweds, should have a full understanding of this. Seeking temporary pleasure can bring serious consequences to themselves.
