Patient's question:
Under normal circumstances, we have no problem having sex, but if it's done a few days before my girlfriend's period, it usually doesn't work out.That's the case—when having sex a few days before her period, right when you're about to insert, her vaginal opening will split slightly, and there will be some bleeding. Of course, it's very painful, so we have to stop. Maybe it's because her hymen is too tender! But after her period, it's fine!
So, I'm wondering—is it normal for the vagina to discharge something when nearing her period? Otherwise, why does this happen?
Doctor's answer:
Is it related to mood? During the time of the menstrual cycle, women often experience emotional fluctuations. When women are in a bad mood, sex is often unsuccessful and can be painful.
