Patient's question:
What are the remedies for having sex during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Intercourse during menstruation is harmful to both men and women. First, it can lead to increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation. Second, it increases the risk of bacterial or viral infections, causing gynecological inflammation. Third, menstrual secretions entering a man's urethra may also cause urethritis. Fourth, sperm encountering damaged endometrium and blood cells, or even entering the bloodstream, can trigger the production of antisperm antibodies, leading to immunological infertility or sterility. Fifth, during sexual arousal, uterine contractions can push fragments of the endometrium into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and potentially leading to infertility. It is recommended that sexual intercourse during menstruation should be avoided under any circumstances for the sake of both partners' physical and reproductive health.
