Will I get sick if I have sex before my period is completely gone?

Patient's question:

After 10 days of menstruation, there is still red. Treatment and effect: No treatment, no tests.

Doctor's answer:

Engaging in sexual activity during menstruation can lead to the following adverse consequences:
First, due to mutual excitement, the insertion of the penis may cause congestion in the female reproductive organs, resulting in increased menstrual flow and prolonged periods.
Second, during sexual intercourse at this time, the male reproductive organ may introduce bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms, making it easy for bacteria to multiply and spread along the numerous small wounds and broken blood vessels in the endometrium. This can lead to endometrial infection and may even affect the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, causing unnecessary complications for the woman.
Third, menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis.
Fourth, sexual intercourse during menstruation can lead to sperm encountering damaged endometrium and blood cells, or even entering the bloodstream. This may trigger the production of antisperm antibodies, resulting in immunological infertility or sterility.
Fifth, during sexual activity during menstruation, uterine contractions during sexual arousal may push endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and potentially leading to infertility.
Therefore, for the health and fertility of both partners, sexual intercourse during menstruation should be avoided under all circumstances.
