Patient's question:
Hello/Did I get pregnant because I had sex without a condom during my period and he came inside?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, sexual intercourse during menstruation will not lead to pregnancy. However, for the sake of physical health and reproductive health, sexual activity during menstruation should be avoided regardless of the circumstances.Recommendations:
1. Due to mutual excitement, the insertion of the penis can cause congestion in the female reproductive organs, leading to increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation.
2. During sexual intercourse at this time, male reproductive organs may introduce bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms, making it easy for bacteria to multiply and spread along the endometrium's small wounds and broken blood vessels, potentially infecting the endometrium and even affecting the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, causing unnecessary complications for the woman.
3. Menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis.
4. Sexual intercourse during menstruation, as sperm encounters damaged endometrium and blood cells, or even enters the bloodstream, can trigger the production of antisperm antibodies, leading to immunological infertility or sterility.
5. During menstruation, sexual arousal causes uterine contractions, which may push endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, leading to endometriosis and potentially causing infertility.
