Patient's question:
I want to ask, I had my period last week, but it hadn't fully stopped yet. On the fourth day, I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend. Afterward, my period became heavier again, but then it subsided quickly. This has happened more than once with my boyfriend. Will this affect my health? Because I read in foreign books that this can reduce future gynecological problems. Is there any truth to this? Is it actually good or bad for the body?Doctor's answer:
Having sex during menstruation will not lead to pregnancy, but it can easily cause infections. During the menstrual period, the endometrium forms wounds, and the immunity of various systems decreases, making it easy to cause inflammatory infections such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis.
