Patient's question:
Is frequent climax harmful to the body?Doctor's answer:
If sexual intercourse occurs during menstruation, the following adverse consequences may arise: First, due to mutual excitement, the insertion of the penis may cause congestion in the female reproductive organs, leading to increased menstrual flow and prolonged periods. Second, during intercourse at this time, the male reproductive organ may introduce bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms, making it easy for bacteria to multiply and 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, thereby causing unnecessary trouble for the woman. Third, menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also lead to the development of urethritis. Fourth, coitus during menstruation, as sperm encounters endometrial tears and blood cells, or even enters the bloodstream, may trigger the production of antisperm antibodies, resulting in immunological infertility or sterility. Fifth, during menstruation, coitus may cause fragments of the endometrium to be squeezed into the pelvic cavity during sexual arousal, leading to endometriosis and potentially causing infertility. Therefore, for the health of both partners and reproductive health, sexual intercourse during menstruation should be avoided under any circumstances.
