Patient's question:
What happens if menstruation suddenly stops after having sex during your period?Doctor's answer:
How much hidden harm does coitus during menstruation bring us? Here are six points:1. During coitus, due to both parties' excitement, the insertion of the penis will cause the female reproductive organs to become congested, leading to increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation.
2. At this time, sexual intercourse may introduce bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is an excellent medium for bacteria and other microorganisms to thrive. Bacteria can easily multiply along the numerous tiny wounds and broken capillaries in the endometrium, leading to endometritis and potentially affecting the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, thereby causing unnecessary trouble for the woman.
3. Menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis.
4. Coitus during menstruation, where sperm encounters damaged endometrium and spilled blood cells, or even enters the bloodstream, can trigger the production of antisperm antibodies. This may result in immunological infertility or sterility.
5. Sexual intercourse during menstruation can lead to infertility. Many people know that having sex during menstruation is unhygienic because the endometrium is shed at this time, leaving many fresh wounds in the uterine cavity. Sexual activity not only increases menstrual flow and prolongs menstruation but also easily introduces bacteria and contaminants from the male reproductive organs into the vagina, causing inflammation of the reproductive organs. Due to the irritation from inflammation, the fertilized egg may find it difficult to implant in the uterine cavity, leading to habitual abortion or infertility.
6. Additionally, during menstruation, semen may come into direct contact with menstrual blood, triggering an antigenic response that stimulates the immune system, leading to humoral and cellular immune reactions. This causes immune cells to produce antisperm antibodies. These antibodies may be present in the cervical mucus or serum of women. Once they encounter sperm, they can easily trigger an immune rejection response, reducing sperm motility or even causing death, preventing them from fertilizing the egg. Antisperm antibodies can have adverse effects on fertilization, implantation, and early fetal differentiation and development, often resulting in habitual abortion or infertility.
