Patient's question:
Please ask if having sex during menstruation has any special harm to girls, and what diseases it may cause.Doctor's answer:
Having sex during menstruation will not result in pregnancy. Suggestions: However, (1) it can easily cause various inflammations, such as endometritis, fallopian tube inflammation, pelvic inflammation, and infertility. (2) The uterine contractions caused by sex during menstruation may push menstrual blood into the abdominal cavity, increasing the risk of endometriosis. (3) During menstruation, some sperm and other components of semen may enter a woman's bloodstream through small blood vessel tears, stimulating the immune system to form anti-sperm antibodies and leading to immunological infertility. (4) Various blood-borne infectious diseases can be transmitted. (5) Sex during menstruation can cause increased bleeding or prolonged bleeding duration. It is best to avoid this situation as much as possible. If it happens occasionally, it's not a major issue, and there are no other abnormal symptoms—just wait and see, and avoid treatment for now. Don't worry. You're lucky this time, but doing this frequently can lead to the problems mentioned above. Pay attention to avoiding this as much as possible.Lifestyle care: Pay attention to menstrual period care:
1. Avoid washing your hair during the period. If you must, do it in the afternoon, and make sure to dry your hair immediately afterward.
2. Keep warm during the period—avoid cold air, and wear more clothes in air-conditioned rooms.
3. Avoid cold drinks. Drinking ice water can prevent dirty blood from expelling smoothly.
4. Eat some sweet foods to help metabolize dirty blood.
5. Get rest.
6. Don't get overly emotional.
7. Avoid tub baths.
