Will I get pregnant during my period?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Having sex during menstruation will not lead to pregnancy. Having sex during menstruation can easily cause gynecological infections. The harm of having sex during menstruation is significant: (1) It is easy to cause various inflammations, such as endometritis, fallopian tube inflammation, and even pelvic inflammation and infertility. (2) The uterine contractions caused by having sex during menstruation can push menstrual blood into the abdominal cavity, posing a risk of endometriosis. (3) During menstruation, some sperm and other components of semen may enter a woman's bloodstream through small blood vessel tears, stimulating the immune system to form anti-sperm antibodies and leading to immunological infertility. (4) Various blood-borne infectious diseases can be transmitted between partners. (5) Having sex during menstruation can cause increased bleeding or prolonged bleeding duration. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid sexual activity during menstruation as much as possible.
