Can you have sex when your period is about to start?

Patient's question:

Can you have sex when your period is about to start? Will it easily cause inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:
Yes, having sex during your period will not cause pregnancy. However, (1) it can easily cause various inflammations, such as endometritis, fallopian tube inflammation, pelvic inflammatory disease, and infertility. (2) The uterine contractions caused by sex during your period can push menstrual blood into the abdominal cavity, posing a risk of causing endometriosis. (3) During sex during your period, 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, potentially leading to immunological infertility. (4) Various blood-borne infectious diseases can be transmitted between partners. (5) Sex during your period can cause increased bleeding or prolonged bleeding duration. It's best to avoid this situation as much as possible. If it happens occasionally, it's not a major issue; if there are no other abnormal symptoms, just wait and see, and avoid treatment for now. Don't worry. Consider yourself lucky, but doing this frequently can lead to the problems mentioned above. Please pay attention to avoiding this situation as much as possible.
