Patient's question:
Problem Description:Doctor's answer:
Hello! If sexual intercourse occurs during menstruation, the following adverse consequences may arise:First, due to mutual excitement, the insertion of the penis can cause congestion in the female reproductive organs, leading to increased menstrual flow and prolonged periods.
Second, during this time, sexual intercourse may allow bacteria from the male reproductive organs to enter the vagina. Menstrual blood is an excellent medium for the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. Bacteria can easily multiply and spread along the many small wounds and broken blood vessels in the endometrium, potentially infecting it. This can even affect the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, causing unnecessary complications for the woman.
Third, menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also lead to the development of urethritis.
Fourth, sexual intercourse during menstruation can cause sperm to encounter damaged endometrial sites and spilled blood cells, or even enter the bloodstream. This may trigger the production of antisperm antibodies, resulting in immunological infertility or sterility.
Fifth, during menstruation, sexual arousal causes uterine contractions, which may push fragments of endometrium into the pelvic cavity. This can lead to endometriosis and subsequent infertility.
