Is it okay to have sex when your wife is on her period?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is not recommended to have sex during menstruation. During the menstrual period, a woman's body resistance decreases, making it easier to contract various bacteria and viruses, leading to diseases such as vaginitis, urethritis, and cervical erosion. In severe cases, it can affect fertility. It is advised not to have sex during menstruation to avoid cross-infection.
