Patient's question:
On the fifth day of the menstrual period, when having sex for a few minutes, it started bleeding, fresh blood. Later, I stopped and went to wash. It's been three days now, and I'm experiencing occasional stomach pain, with blood streaks on the sanitary pad. Today is the eighth day of the period.Doctor's answer:
Hello, sexual activity is not allowed during menstruation.Recommendations: During menstruation, the uterine lining sheds, creating a surface wound. If sexual activity occurs, it can easily introduce bacteria, which may travel backward into the uterine cavity, causing infection. Sexual intercourse during menstruation can lead to congestion in the female reproductive organs, resulting in increased menstrual flow and prolonged periods. Menstrual secretions entering a male's urethra may also cause urethritis. Additionally, uterine contractions during sexual arousal can push fragments of the endometrium into the pelvic cavity, leading to endometriosis and potentially infertility.
When sperm encounters damaged endometrium or blood cells, it may even enter the bloodstream, triggering the production of antisperm antibodies, which can lead to immunological infertility. The male reproductive organ may introduce bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood serves as an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and microorganisms, making it easy for them to multiply. These bacteria can spread along the numerous small wounds and broken blood vessels in the endometrium, infecting it and potentially affecting the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, causing unnecessary complications for the female.
It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a checkup.
