Can women have sex during their menstrual period?

Patient's question:

Can women have sex during their period?

Doctor's answer:

Advice: Intercourse is not recommended during menstruation. At this time, the endometrium is shed, leaving many fresh wounds in the uterine cavity. Sexual activity can not only increase menstrual flow and prolong the duration of menstruation but also easily introduce bacteria and contaminants from the male reproductive organs into the vagina, causing inflammation of the reproductive organs. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, it becomes difficult for the fertilized egg to implant in the uterine cavity, which may lead to habitual abortion and infertility.
