Patient's question:
The menstrual cycle is normal and regular. The duration of the period varies between 5 to 7 days. On the first and second days, the menstrual flow is heavy, but by the third day, it has mostly stopped, leaving only a little bit of dirty discharge, which can be managed with a single pad. This lasted for three days, reaching the fifth day, when I suddenly had a strong desire for sex. Can I have sex at this time? I have always had a normal and regular menstrual cycle. Initially, the blood was dark red, but after with traditional Chinese medicine, it is now bright red, and I have no other diseases. No.Doctor's answer:

(2) The uterine contractions caused by sexual intercourse during menstruation may cause menstrual blood to enter the abdominal cavity, posing a risk of endometriosis. (3) It may also lead to immunological infertility. (4) Various blood-borne infectious diseases can be transmitted to each other.
