Patient's question:
After the eighth day of menstruation, coitus was performed with withdrawal ejaculation. Later, coitus occurred again. Will this cause the woman to become pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, having sexual intercourse during menstruation will not lead to pregnancy. Engaging in sexual activity during menstruation can result in the following adverse consequences:First, due to mutual excitement, the insertion of the penis can cause the female reproductive organs to become congested, leading to an increase in menstrual flow and a prolonged period.
Second, during this time, sexual intercourse may introduce bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood serves as an excellent breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms, making it easy for them to multiply. These bacteria can spread along the numerous small wounds and broken blood vessels in the endometrium, potentially infecting the endometrium and even affecting 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, during menstrual intercourse, sperm may encounter damaged endometrial tissue and escaped blood cells, even entering the bloodstream. This can trigger the production of antisperm antibodies, resulting in immunological infertility or sterility.
Fifth, during menstruation, uterine contractions during sexual arousal may push fragments of endometrial tissue into the pelvic cavity, leading to endometriosis and potentially causing infertility.
Therefore, for the health of both partners and the well-being of future fertility, sexual intercourse during menstruation should be avoided under all circumstances.
