Patient's question:
On the third night of my period, it had already stopped, so I had sexual intercourse. Afterward, there was blood again? I'm very worried about getting pregnant or having negative effects on my health....Doctor's answer:
Having sex during menstruation will not lead to pregnancy. Having sex during menstruation can easily cause gynecological infections. Suggestions: The harm of having sex during menstruation is extremely great: (1) It is easy to cause various inflammations, such as endometritis, fallopian tube inflammation, and even pelvic inflammation and infertility. (2) The uterine contractions caused by having sex during menstruation can push menstrual blood into the abdominal cavity, posing a risk of endometriosis. (3) During menstruation, some sperm and other components of semen may enter a woman's bloodstream through small blood vessel breaks, stimulating the immune system to form anti-sperm antibodies, leading to immunological infertility. (4) Various blood-borne infectious diseases can be transmitted to each other. (5) Having sex during menstruation can cause increased bleeding or prolonged bleeding time. Therefore, it is best to avoid having sex during menstruation as much as possible.
