Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, if sexual intercourse occurs shortly after menstruation stops, it may cause congestion in the uterine cavity, leading to rebleeding of the endometrium and vaginal bleeding. During menstruation, sexual activity is more likely to exacerbate pelvic congestion, resulting in prolonged menstruation, increased menstrual flow, and other gynecological sequelae such as dysmenorrhea. Additionally, during sexual activity, bacteria attached to the male penis, urethra, and female vaginal opening can enter the female reproductive tract, potentially causing genital infections and damaging the yet-to-recover endometrium. Women should avoid resuming normal sexual activity until 2-3 days after menstruation has completely stopped, as this is more beneficial for their reproductive health.
